ESSENTIAL HEALTH PRACTICES
OCT 25-26, 2025
Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa
Austin, TX
In my years as a doctor, I always found one thing to be true. When a patient got involved in the process of healing, they were MUCH more likely to get well.
It was the folks who plopped down on my table and said "fix me" who didn't get it.
Why?
Because YOU are the missing ingredient in your health, wellness, prosperity, and destiny.
I am here to help point the way and then get out of your way.
That's why teaching these practices has become the single most important part of what I do. What I brought back from the temples and monasteries of Asia is powerful. It is rich and it is effective.
The patients who would learn these practices and go home and DO THEM, were always the people who began to heal and then thrive.
I cannot overemphasize the importance of this.
Learn these practices and install them into your life. From there, vitality and healing are much easier. From there, you're back the driver's seat.
The latin root of the word "doctor" is "to teach"- NOT to heal. My primary role then, is to teach you how to heal...how to find your health and vitality at the bottom of your next breath.
From there, my work is done. I'm happy to remain a friendly resource in your life but you are now FREE of a broken healthcare system and a limited belief system that has you convinced that someone or something outside of yourself has the solution to your problems.
That's the central fallacy.
That's the matrix talking.
Snap out of it and snap back to life.
I'll show you how to begin.
See you in Austin, TX.
Welcome to
The Real Work
I’m going to show you how to find true health at the bottom of each breath and how to circulate your vital energy in a way that resotres your vitality and mental motivation.
Qi Gong
This is a form of energy yoga that helps us move the vital breath throughout the meridians of the body and invigorates our cells to come back to life and vitality.
Meditation
We will work on ways to settle the mind and calm the emotions in order to find inner peace and deep restful states in the body.
Integration
We'll work to create new healthy habits in your life so your days are filled with practices that restore energy and revitalize your cells. This way, you feel better and more alive each day.
My name is Dr. Pedram Shojai, also known as The Urban Monk.
I’ve helped millions of people find their way to better health with less stress and more joy and you are no different.
As a New York Times best selling author of 8 books and producer of almost a dozen films and series, I’ve been prolific in the past decade but that only came after several years of utter stillness.
You see, I was a Taoist monk. I spent thousands of hours learning about my breath and cultivating inner peace through qigong and meditation. I brought that wisdom back to the West and l quickly realized that the folks I was trying to help did not have the time to do all I was recommending. A lot of my material in my books is designed to help bridge this gap.
NOT THIS.
This system is the backbone of my training and I can only teach it in person. It's the single-most meaningful thing I can show you. It's the deeper, more powerful work that will transform your life and awaken you to inner realms.
Let's sit together
Some things should only be done in person. This system requires it. I need to show you the practices and make sure you're doing them correctly.
Once you've got it, my job is to get out of the way and let you explore and experience for yourself.
It takes some attention to detail and practice and then it's yours. Nobody can take this away from you.
Essential Health Practices
These practices are renowned for their ability to vitalize the body and mind and drive youthful energy back into the system. They've been practiced for thousands of years and have helped countless millions.
It is the foundation of true health and the work we do to reverse aging and revitalize the body.
