Ever feel like you need more than group classes?
Maybe you want to go deeper or need a little more personal attention. Private lessons with Master Sheldon are all about meeting you where you are and helping you move forward—using body and mind as your access points for real, lasting growth.
Hi, I’m Master Sheldon Callahan
Hi, I’m Master Sheldon Callahan, and I’ve spent the last three decades exploring and sharing the transformative practices of Shaolin Kung Fu, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and meditation. I’m here to guide you on a journey of growth, connection, and discovery. My path began at 16 and I have been fortunate to train with Shaolin monks and martial masters over the years, and it’s been my passion to share these profound practices with you.
