Did you know that the tension you feel in your body is actually a trapped and untapped power that, once unfurled, could be transformed into a vibrant new source of vitality, clarity, and flow?
Qigong master Faye Li Yip says the ancient practice of Yi Jin Jing rewires tension into strength and fatigue into energy by weaving together breathwork, physical structure, and mindful intention practices.
Yi Jin Jing is a tendon-building practice that cultivates internal physical and spiritual strength that Master Faye first became aware of through her grandfather, a respected Qigong health and rehabilitation practitioner in China.
Watching her grandfather practice its powerful yet slow and quiet 12-movement sequence was revelatory for Master Faye. She was struck by the contrast of the power of presence in slow movement, which builds strength, awareness, clarity, and resilience— and helps integrate the life-changing Yi Jin Jing philosophy: “What you want to achieve is embodied in spirit.”
Tendons are the connective tissue bridges between muscles and bones. In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong theory, tendons are viewed as Qi pathways — more subtle and energetically sensitive than muscle groups.
When you stretch and lengthen tendons with mindful movement and breath, you are literally opening energetic pathways and increasing your capacity to feel and direct inner energy.
Through Yi Jin Jing’s breath-coordinated movements, you can also down-regulate your nervous system, which empowers the mind, body, and spirit to organically dissolve stress, apply energy where it’s needed most, and instill a sense of calm.
Master Faye will guide you in two Yi Jin Jing movements during her online event — “Wei Tuo Presents the Pestle” and “Plucking a Star” — both illustrating how inner power is activated when breath and intention guide movement to heighten energy flow, release tension, stress, and pain…
… and strengthen internal structure from the inside out — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Born into a renowned Chinese martial arts family, Master Faye began her intense martial arts training at the age of six, and went on to teach Tai Chi and Qigong full time in the UK for the next 30 years.
Her unique Yi Jin Jing technique is designed to produce noticeable improvements in flexibility, physical structure, and inner strength and resilience.
Yi Jin Jing is especially useful for those who are stuck in fight or flight mode, struggling with chronic stress and fatigue, or are experiencing weakness in their back or spine, as it cultivates strength and calm through presence and mental clarity that remains focused during demanding circumstances.
If you’re ready to reclaim your energy, restore your nervous system, and discover the quiet power that lives beneath your tension, this event is the first step toward living a more balanced, resilient, and vibrant life.
