I was looking for a way to deepen my own practice and exploration of myself, as well as a way to teach my tennis students a deeper understanding of themselves. I have found all of that here, as well as an amazing teacher who I can model my teaching after. I am so glad that I came to the White Tiger Qigong teacher training.
Houston Ward
Tennis Coach, Maryland
My expectations before the course were to learn new things and feel more connected to my body through other practices, such as yoga and Chinese medicine. However, I had never experienced a long course in Qigong before. I was really hoping and expecting to move my Qi, feel more in tune with my body, feel better, and gain more energy. My expectations were definitely met. Even in the first week of this three-week course, I felt more open, flexible, and stronger in my joints, which was a pleasant surprise and met my expectations.

The Qigong Breathwork Master Course gave me a solid foundation in breathwork, deepening my understanding of its complexities and its connection to the autonomic nervous system. I’m grateful for the benefits and deeper insights I’ve gained.

I’m so glad I took this course. The valuable information it offers is beneficial for everyone—from beginners to advanced practitioners and even those with health issues. The variety of breathing techniques taught can help with everything from stress reduction and emotional cleansing to lung capacity and faster recovery. Plus, the in-depth focus on the respiratory system and Chinese medicine basics makes it easy to apply these techniques to your own needs or those of your clients
Bastiaan Groen
Pilates Instructor, Netherlands
I met Tevia by coincidence during a holiday in Bali. It was my first contact with Qigong ever, but in just a couple of weeks I felt my health really improving. Tevia is an amazing teacher. He adapted the practice to suit me perfectly. It was actually a life changing experience for me, so much that I will leave my life here in Sweden to go and study for one year with Tevia. If you ever get the opportunity to go and study with him, I highly, highly recommend it.
Susanna Jakobsson
Pilates Instructor, Netherlands
How did Qigong come into my life? It all started over 10 years ago, when I was still competing and fighting. I noticed my body and mind were breaking down rapidly, so I searched for something I could do on my own. I was already doing rehab, massages, and other such treatments, but I wanted something more. At this time, a friend told me about a Qigong seminar. At the time, I had a vague idea of what Qigong was, but I didn't fully understand it. So, I went to the seminar with an open mind, and what I learned was incredible. The various movements and breathwork changed my body and mind, helping me heal faster during my training camps and for all future fights.
Sylwester Organka
North American Muay Thai Champion, Canada
I’ve struggled with neck and back issues from a car accident for nearly two years. I had tried stem cell treatments, acupuncture, and chiropractic care, which offered temporary relief, but after just two weeks of training, I feel a significant difference. My joints feel more lubricated, I’ve built muscle support around those areas, and my fascia has released toxins. It’s not just me—I saw a classmate with Parkinson’s regain the ability to move her toes after two weeks of Qigong. Tevia brings a light-hearted approach to teaching, adding humor and stories to help us remember the material. Practicing here in the Tao Garden, a place that feels like heaven on earth, made the experience even more profound.

This course on the 5 Animal Forms course has been transformative. I shifted so much energy, found inspiration, and feel empowered to share this form with my community. I’m deeply grateful for the wonderful teachers and this opportunity.
Natalie Ramon
Chinese Medicine Physician, Canada
The 5 Element course transformed my body completely. I became more supple, but most importantly, stronger. I gained core strength that I had never experienced before. My focus improved dramatically, allowing me to control my concentration anytime and anywhere. I lost weight, sleep like a baby, and my anxiety and frustration disappeared. This practice works miracles! Initially, I was quite skeptical, having never engaged in any “slow flow” practice before, but the White Tiger Qigong class has truly changed my life.
Ralitsa Taton
Web Content Strategist
Studying White Tiger Qigong has been transformative. I gained a deep understanding of Qigong, learned about kinetic chains, and combined Chinese medicine and fascia work with my skills in massage and performance art. Connecting with diverse practitioners was a beautiful experience, and White Tiger Qigong truly stands out as the best course in the world.
Serafina Whitman

The 5 Animal Qigong training in Vietnam has been amazing. I feel calm, strong, mobile, and connected to the spirit of Qigong. It’s a comprehensive practice that feels like giving my organs a daily massage. White Tiger Qigong has a deep wisdom and strong lineage—highly recommended!
Nicolas Dimattina
Australia
I would definitely recommend if anybody that is on the fence about doing this training, just do it. I can now truly live in the present moment because of taking these courses from White Tiger. Tevia makes it a joy to learn, and his passion for spreading Qigong around the world is clear. I’m very grateful to be a part of that.

The teaching was exceptional—both practical and theoretical. The master instructor, Tevia, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and professional, making the learning process both enjoyable and challenging. Being immersed in nature at the beautiful Alba Wellness Valley added a special touch to the training. I highly recommend White Tiger Qigong to anyone considering it—it will open you up to new realms of potential.
Leanne Clifford
Fitness Instructor, Australia
My experience has been incredibly positive. The education is top-tier, and the support is always quick and helpful. Since practicing regularly, I’ve noticed improvements in my physical fitness, emotional resilience, and focus. I also feel more connected to myself and those around me.
Maruša Vencelj

What has really struck me during this time is that I feel like I've acquired a valuable gift to take with me. I've been taught how to work with myself in a way that nourishes me on a day-to-day basis. Tevia's great teaching has made this possible. I've learned a lot during my time here and, most importantly, I've developed a practice that I genuinely enjoy. When I wake up and choose the exercises or forms that feel right for me, I truly notice the benefits in a very visceral way.

I'm originally from Switzerland. I have to say, Tevia is my favorite Qigong teacher. I've attended every class I could, but I wanted to go even deeper, so I booked individual coaching sessions with him. He really focused on what was best for me, pinpointing what I needed to improve on the most. Every class—whether public or private—had a wonderful balance. Tevia made it easy for beginners to follow, while still introducing advanced concepts for more experienced students. I truly love his teaching style!
Fabian

This Medical Qigong Teacher Training has been absolutely incredible for me—'wow' is truly the best word to describe it! With a background in dance and yoga, I’ve found that this training beautifully synthesizes those practices but at a much deeper level. Tevia has packed so much into these three weeks. As a true master of the Daoist tradition, he shares profound wisdom, philosophy, and spirituality, all while teaching the correct postures, breathing techniques, and movements of Qi. It’s an extremely powerful combination. I can already tell that this practice is going to be fundamental in my life, and I’m so excited to continue growing and seeing where this journey will take me.
Erica Eng
Ballet Dancer, Nevada, USA
Both psychologically and physically, I experienced a transformation that’s hard to fully describe. One concrete result I can share is related to my asthma. In the 21 days before the class, I used my inhaler 15 out of 21 nights. However, once the class began—and for the next 21 nights after the five-day course—I didn’t use my inhaler at all. It was incredible! Even after the course, I only practiced Qigong for about an hour a day and continued to feel amazing...I’ve had an old injury for 30 years that usually causes pain when I twist or make certain movements. During the first few days of the course, I was worried that the twisting movements in Qigong might aggravate it. At first, there was some pain, but after 10 days, it completely disappeared. Now, I rarely feel discomfort even when I twist—Qigong helped me heal in ways I never expected.
Steven Sheldon

Tevia brings a light, fun, and gentle energy to Qigong, making this deep and rich practice inviting for everyone. It’s been amazing to see our guests, who are now up at 6:00 a.m. practicing Qigong on their own—a real testament to Tevia’s ability to inspire and imprint this knowledge in such a short time. One aspect I find especially intriguing is his integration of tea with Qigong. You can truly feel the flow of Qi from both the tea and Qigong moving through the body, which adds a unique depth to the practice. And, of course, practicing here in Bali makes the experience even more incredible. Whether you’re healthy, seeking wellness, or managing an illness, I highly recommend Tevia’s Qigong teachings. His understanding of medical Qigong has been incredibly beneficial to many people. Come and check it out—he’s amazing!
Ben Richards
Yoga Instructor, Australia
You might be wondering why someone like me, from a Chinese background, is learning Qigong from a Western lineage. Interestingly, I haven’t found a Qigong course as structured and systematic, with such rich content, as the one offered by White Tiger Qigong. As a yoga teacher trainer, I always seek to understand the "why" behind our practices – why we do certain movements, and not others. Understanding the science behind the practice is crucial for me.
Ariel Tang
Yoga Teacher, Hong Kong
I wanted to deepen my personal Qigong practice and share it with my clients. Qigong has truly transformed my life, bringing me mental clarity and a deeper connection with nature. As someone who works extensively with fascia, I found Tevia’s knowledge in this area particularly valuable. His teachings on how Qigong works with the fascia are fascinating and aligned with emerging understandings in the medical field. Tevia’s enthusiasm for the body, his own practice, and the progress of his students is contagious. This training has exceeded my expectations, and I deeply appreciate the beautifully organized retreat experience he has created. I look forward to continuing my journey and learning more.
Sarah Glass
Therapist, USA
I’m here to share how wonderful White Tiger Qigong has been in managing my chronic illness and pain. I was diagnosed with lupus in 1995, and over the years, it has impacted my central nervous system, causing issues with balance, coordination, memory, and mood. It also affected my digestion so severely that I lost significant weight and eventually required tube feeding. While my doctors were great, I felt I needed something more. I’d practiced Tai Chi and Qigong since the early '90s, but discovering White Tiger Qigong on YouTube was a game-changer. After practicing their forms, I felt physically stronger, had more energy, and experienced less pain. Emotionally, I was releasing frustration and sadness, replacing them with positive emotions. I felt more grounded and connected. My doctors even noticed the improvement, and one commented that White Tiger Qigong might be one of the reasons I’m doing so well. I highly recommend White Tiger Qigong—thank you so much!

I’m happy to share my experience with Tevia’s Qigong course in Thailand. I attended in January 2015, and it was a wonderful experience. I had some prior experience with other teachers, but I was looking for a course that would deepen my practice. One of my main goals was to make Qigong a part of my daily life, rather than practicing randomly. After a few months, I’m thrilled to say I’ve achieved that goal. I’m grateful for the extra knowledge and all the tools I gained from this course. It offered a perfect balance of theory and practice, creating a healthy mix that I found very effective. If you're interested in a Qigong course, I highly recommend it!
Teun
Training Participant
I’m thrilled to have just completed the three-week training with Tevia Feng in White Tiger Qigong. The course covered the Five Elements and the foundational Eight Trigrams Qigong, an amazing combination of two complementary styles. I’m incredibly grateful to Tevia for sharing his lifelong journey and vast knowledge with us through his high-level teaching. The group had fantastic synergy—we formed lasting friendships and a strong, supportive energy. Thank you and see you soon!
Aisha Sieburth
Qigong Teacher, France
Tevia’s White Tiger Qigong retreat in Thailand was a deeply transformative experience, bringing profound mental, spiritual, and physical growth. His exceptional teaching makes Qigong accessible for all levels, and the Tao Garden environment enhances the journey. This retreat isn’t just about learning—it’s a life-changing activation that stays with you, creating lasting benefits and a new perspective.
Kamau Abayomi
Creative Director, USA
This course is the most in-depth single Qigong program I know of, and I highly recommend it. The forms are fantastic—extremely healing and great for agility. They genuinely work to release emotions from within; I felt emotional healing happening continuously as I practiced. I’m still practicing daily, and the benefits have been incredible. ..Many systems don’t integrate this level of holistic teaching, so if you’re considering it, I wholeheartedly recommend taking this course. It’s worth every bit and more!
Mike Popovici
Qigong and Breathwork Teacher, Toronto, Canada
My name is Lukas Jednicki, and I'm a qigong and yoga instructor from Germany, based in Thailand. I attended the medical qigong teacher training with Tevia and Aisha in 2016, and I highly recommend this training to anyone looking for an authentic qigong experience. What stood out to me the most was the teachers and the program itself. Both Tevia and Aisha are incredibly passionate about qigong and teaching, which is something truly unique. Tevia is not only a qigong master with a deep understanding of the practice, but he is also an exceptional teacher who knows how to transfer his knowledge in a way that resonates with students.
Lukas Jednicki
Qigong Teacher, Germany
Tevia, and I am so grateful for this course that I’ve just finished. Your enthusiasm truly inspired me. The way you combine your deep knowledge with Western science, alongside everything you’ve learned in China, is incredible. I may not teach Qigong to others, but I will certainly continue to teach it to myself. Thank you so much for the time I’ve spent learning with you. I can only highly recommend this course!
Sibylle Duerkop
Real Estate, Germany
I’ve just completed the Five Animal White Tiger Qigong training in Vietnam. It was absolutely life changing. I have been a dedicated White Tiger student for almost four years and am now a White Tiger teacher. This practice has truly captured my heart and changed my life on both a physical and emotional level. Each training takes you deeper, providing more details and helping you learn more about yourself, connecting with life on a profound level. I highly recommend this course because what Tevia, our teacher, has created is truly brilliant. The blend of modern science and ancient Taoist wisdom has made this beautiful art—and the art of living—accessible to many. I am one of those people who will continue to follow Tevia and help spread this beautiful gift to the world. Thank you!
Marketa Pavlacikova
Qigong Teacher, UAE
My name is Donna, and I just finished the Five Animal Teacher Training in Vietnam. It was an incredible experience from start to finish. At the beginning, I felt a bit unstable and unsure of what I was doing, but by the end, I gained a solid foundation and a much better understanding of the form. I’ve often resisted structure, but now I see the importance of proper alignment and fully embodying the different aspects of the training. I feel confident and equipped to continue practicing on my own, get stronger, and share this knowledge with others as I continue my journey with White Tiger Qigong. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to have completed this training, and I feel great about where it’s taken me. Thank you!
Donna Shore
Teacher Training Attendee, USA
I joined for two main reasons: first, to benefit personally from the Five Animal forms, which are profoundly healing for the body, mind, and spirit; and second, to introduce my students to a different perspective within Eastern philosophy. What I learned about the organs, meridians, and their integration for maximum health, longevity, youthfulness, clarity, and spiritual expression was invaluable. The results I’ve gained were beyond my expectations. Every time I practice the Five Animals, I feel an immense surge of energy—more than I’ve ever experienced with other forms of Tai Chi, Qigong, or yoga. My posture has become more confident, I feel more grounded, and my overall sense of strength and clarity has grown significantly. If you’re looking for more energy, longevity, clarity, and strength, I genuinely recommend coming to study with Tevia in person. His hands-on guidance, pointing out crucial details that can’t be conveyed online, was indispensable.
Andre Vess
Teacher Training Attendee, Australia
I’d like to share a bit about what brought me to the White Tiger Qigong teacher training program. I actually attended this course two years ago, and it was an amazing experience. I’m so glad I returned because this time, the course was even more detailed, and Master Tevia Feng’s teaching approach truly showcases the potential of maximizing human capabilities. At 63 years old, I found his teaching designed in a way that’s accessible for people of all ages, including someone my age, as well as younger participants. I was searching for a practice I could commit to for the rest of my life, and I believe I’ve found it here. I’m excited to work toward my teaching certification so I can share this with others.
Kasey Conrad
Qigong Teacher, USA
We also have another instructor, Tevia. He learned from the Wudang tradition and trained with many masters, gaining knowledge in various forms of Qigong, including White Tiger Qigong. He has been teaching for a long time and knows this practice very well. He has taught at Tao Garden for a while and is an excellent instructor in traditional White Tiger Qigong.
Mantak Chia
Universal Healing Tao System Founder and Author, Qigong Teacher, Thailand
At first, it’s a little bit difficult because I’m focusing on making sure that I’m making the right moves, that I’m looking in the right place, that I’m in the correct position, and that the movement is accurate. But once I start getting into it, it feels really, really good. Once the flow is there and I’m not thinking about what I’m doing, I’m just enjoying the moment—the here and now.
Monique Pettavino
8 Trigram Teacher Training attendee, USA
Today’s society, we’re constantly on our computers and phones, with our heads down and our posture affected. Believe it or not, posture is one of the leading causes of anxiety, depression, and physical pain, especially back pain. My family and I have been practicing Qigong, where we've learned to open our hearts, open our chests, and reconnect with ourselves. White Tiger Qigong offers this amazing training that teaches you to reconnect with your mind, body, and soul, helping you connect with yourself and the world around you.
