Live like a Monk | Train like a Warrior
We curate once-in-a-lifetime retreats
into the world of the legendary Shaolin Temple, in China.
As you engage into the fierce discipline of Kung Fu (martial arts), every movement becomes an expression of grace, strength and precision. Led by experienced Shaolin monks, you will learn to expand your energy (Qi) and channel power from within. Each kick, each punch becomes an embodiment of artistry and control, revealing the true essence of Shaolin.
Amidst the tranquil temple grounds nestled in the Song mountains, you will discover the deep restorative practices of meditation and Chinese Medicine.
Whether you seek personal growth, physical mastery, realise a childhood dream or simply an unforgettable adventure, the Shaolin Experience awaits!
What to Expect
Our retreats are not escapes :)
They are immersive returns to discipline, focus, and fierce presence.
Digital detox and deep reconnection.
This is not a luxury getaway. It is a pilgrimage with purpose.
What our clients say
Spending five days at the Shaolin Temple was one of the most transformative and humbling experiences of my life. What struck me most was how Kung Fu is more than a martial art—it's a way of life.
By the end of the fifth day, my muscles ached, my mind was clearer, and my perspective had shifted. I had only scratched the surface of Shaolin Kung Fu, but I gained invaluable insights about myself and the strength that comes from inner harmony. I left the temple not just stronger in body, but more grounded in spirit.

The 2-day residential training was an amazing out-of-the world experience.
Just eight weeks ago I was living a busy and healthy entrepreneur life. And then suddenly I was diagnosed with a heart ailment and had to do an immediate heart procedure. The only advice the doctor gave me was to sleep well and take less stress as I had no other symptoms like Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Overweight, etc.
The Shaolin Experience rejuvenated my confidence as I was able to push my physical limits. Thru the meditation courses I learned to achieve inner peace. Devoid of all technology for 48 hours made me realize that the world around me survived and so enjoy the moment.
I am happy that I got my wife. I wish I also had my children with me to experience this journey early in their life.
A Shaolin MasterClass Participant from Pune, India
I remember vividly my first encounter with Alex; she explained how she was attracted to Kung Fu. Her personal story touched me. Here was a lady who went through personal tribulations and yet overcame them by going back to basics. So I was drawn to what she wanted to transmit. And the experience was enriching to say the least. It allowed us to focus on the essential and to ban the superfluous. Well done Alex and continue the great job of inspiring others.

Xie Xie Ni, Shifu. You touched our hearts.
Paul Jones, ex-Chief Executive Officer, The LUX Collective
An amazingly complete program, combining physical, spiritual & philosophical teachings. Absolutely loved it! So much to learn from Shifu. A truly inspiring master. Can’t wait to continue, if the opportunity arises. What a great initiative – thank you Alexandra! Do let me know if there is a repeat or program #2! I have no doubt all the participants came out of the program all pumped up, with a new outlook on life.

To experience the Shaolin way of life over a week-end was a childhood dream come true. We have been brought up on Bruce Lee’s Kung Fu movies and to actually get a first-hand introduction of the Art from a Master was surreal.
