Biography

My journey into the energy practices began long time ago. I think the awareness and some understanding of energy has been with me my entire life, leading me to where I have come already and where I’m going to still arrive. This has been a truly wonderful path, and one of the highlights of it was Qigong, an ancient Chinese practice that I have been learning, practicing and teaching since 2016. Qigong has brought many amazing things into my life and made some transformative changes. It lets me feel connection throughout my entire body, connection to myself and to the world around me; feel the energy flow and create this flow. Qigong is much more than just a physical movement, it is a spiritual practice that focuses on health and wellbeing and brings a peace of mind. I’m very much looking forward to sharing this sacred knowledge with you during my Qigong classes in Abu Dhabi.

Matthew lives in Belgium in Brussels yet travels extensively to Asia and the Middle East. Residencies and/or immersive retreats or online courses are therefore preferable opportunities.

Biography

I’ve always liked to move, and I did lots of martial arts when I was younger as well as fitness and HIIT training. But I did not realize I needed a more holistic practice to balance all the Yang energy until I developed chronic pain during my studies and while building my corporate career. After experimenting with different yoga styles for 15 years I did an Elemental Yoga Therapy Teacher Training in Bali. I learned how to use specific exercises to activate meridians, detoxify organs, and balance emotions through mindful movement. And that brought me to White Tiger Qigong, as I had always been interested in Chinese Medicine and Sports Science and kept searching for a low-impact martial arts practice. The differences even after a short while of regular practice were dramatic: Less body pain, better sleep, and able to face everyday challenges with clarity, decisiveness and a calm mind. I’ve practiced Qigong every day since.

Biography

Zoe Nash is a professional traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with 10 years experiencJoonas Pääkkönen from Helsinki, Finland joined our White Tiger Medical Qigong Teacher Certification in Bali, Indonesia. Joonas grew up in the forests of Finland, and is currently working on his PhD in wireless communication theory at Aalto University, close to Helsinki. He has a strong, life-long background in endurance sports, especially orienteering and long-distance running, and his hobbies include related coaching, sports medicine, physiology and biomechanics. Struggling with chronic breathing problems eventually led him to consult a Chinese medicine doctor who quickly convinced him to try Qigong. After only a few weeks of training, it was clear that positive changes had occurred all across the board, including a more relaxed way of breathing which seemed to be key to solving several other issues. Fix your breath, and the rest of your life will fall into place, he says. — Now I have better body awareness, higher energy levels, and effectively constant stillness of mind. Further, I can connect with the presence much faster than before. Qigong is in my nature. Also, it is a fasci(a)nating area of study, alongside of the more fragmented view of Western medicine that all too often concentrates on treating all issues as they were acute, with a here-take-a-pill type of attitude. The implications of Qigong practice are profound, but require plenty of self-discipline and unwavering inner focus. But once you get into the flow, it is a bit like running at a level where you do not need your feet anymore, you just go. This is when it becomes like riding the wind. — Taking it back down from the abstract, pondering level, I am convinced by the concrete efficacy of the practice for treating and preventing illness. It requires virtually no equipment or financial status. The Daoist thought is deep, with a comprehensive understanding of how the world works. And how your body mechanics work. Coming to this with a rigorous scientific background, it is compelling for me to see how beautifully the Daoists have managed to condense their teachings to be as simple as possible, yet not oversimplified. This you can see in many of the Qigong forms and their healing effects: something that might outwardly seem to be a ridiculously simple thing to do, might turn out to work like magic. Quite literally.

Biography

My interests and participation in sports and being active from a young age has led me to learn martial arts (Kung Fu) and Tai Chi / Qigong, to becoming a long time yoga practitioner and instructor, as well as a TRX instructor and now certified in 8 Trigram Organ Qigong and 5 Elements Qigong. My love of learning has guided me in continuing my education throughout the years in fascia, sports science, manual therapy to now doing a degree in Osteopathy. When I came across White Tiger Qigong and did a Level 1 workshop of the 5 Elements, it resonated with me completely. Tevia’s wonderful teaching incorporates all aspects to ensure a complete and balanced training which made me want to learn more of the Daoist style of Qigong. Not only to heal myself naturally but to share with others and integrate White Tiger Qigong with Osteopathic Therapy. Finding Tevia and White Tiger Qigong has helped me find My Way (The Way) in healing and helping others. I strongly believe that one should never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.

Biography

My interest to understand the various aspects of the human experience and keeping a healthy lifestyle led me to Yoga and Tai Chi/ Qi gong quite naturally . In 2006 while I was moving through a career change (after 10 years in a leading fine art auction house), it became obvious that I would go deeper into these disciplines although I could not say how nor when. It took another 10 years in an international humanitarian organisation and an urge to ground myself to start Tevia’s Qigong teacher training in 2017 and continue in 2018. At the same time, I developped as an energy healer. I kept on improving my Qi gong and studied Transformational yoga in Pondichery in India and am a certified 500 hrs teacher. While both practices are based on mouvement and breath, to integrate body mind and spirit, they are based on different postures and different frames of reference: Yoga and Qi gong balance and complement each other very well. Both approaches are effective ways to heal body and mind, gaining clarity and focus, healing stress and traumas. I love studying and practising them myself, as well as teaching and sharing this beautiful knowledge to see students improving their own health.

This form integrates gentle movements with meditation and self-massage that will help to reduce stress, improve balance, and improve overall health and well-being. This foundation can then be expanded upon so the student can develop a long lasting personal practice of Qigong and Tai Chi. In 2018 Vince published his first book “Everyday All day” to aid in developing your own personal practice. The book explores ways to incorporate Qigong into your everyday life to reap the most benefit from the practice. Since the onset of Covid-19 Vince has taken all of his in person classes online. Links to these classes can be found on his website. He is also doing online classes for Mirbeau Inn and Spas as well as practice leader trainings for the Healer Within Foundation and the Institute for Integral Qigong and Tai Chi

Biography

Hello and thank you for your interest in my work as a White Tiger Qigong Instructor and Coach. I did not seek out Qigong, it found me…twice. I was stunned by my first experience that shifted my emotional state when after a meditation session that left me feeling intense anger changed to peace in a matter of about 20 minutes during an interactive Qigong demo. The second experience would be years later when I started experiencing body pain most likely due to a stressful year. I was looking for relief from both western and naturopathic doctors but they could not explain or help me relieve the aches in my joints. One doctor actually suggested I take pain medication until whatever is causing the pain rears its ugly head. That was unacceptable to me so I dove into medical Qigong that appeared on my FB when I felt desperate and afraid not knowing what was going on in my body. Today I can say, I don’t have the pain and I attribute that solely to Qigong and that is why I am such a huge believer. I believe in it so much that I’ve made it my mission to share this practice with others far and wide because I believe our modern society needs this ancient practice more than ever. I am working with people who are looking to stop suffering both emotionally and/or physically…just like I was. I truly believe in turning my traumas into treasures and Qigong has been vital in helping me do that by turning negative energy into something positive. I had disconnected from my body after years of sexual abuse and emotional abandonment that created an emotional eating disorder to bury the pain. Through Qigong I have experienced a deeper connection to my body, myself and Spirit. I am humbled and empowered when I practice myself into a flow state where I feel I am in co-creation of my life with Spirit. It is pure bliss. I have taught yoga and meditation but Qigong is what changed my life immensely and I am so grateful to be able to lean into this practice every day to decrease stress, increase vitality and connect to my higher power. I am humbled to be able to help my clients experience numerous shifts and deeper connections in their lives as well. There are so many versions of Qigong but the reason I love White Tiger so much is two fold. First for healing my body pain and second, how it is fused with the sports science of flossing, kinetic chains and fascia. The science takes out the woo woo and gives me the understanding of how the practice works to maximize my human potential. It’s literally a life changing practice and that is why I’m excited that Qigong has found you too! I look forward to meeting you soon.

Biography

Imagine how amazing it would be to literally feel the wonder of life reverberating within you. Well, that is the mission of Dr. Carla Stovall, WTQ instructor of 8 Trigram Organ Qigong. Carla is a multi-instrumental musician, professor, and sound healing practitioner from Alabama. She holds a PhD in Music and Neuroscience Research from the University of Alabama, and her passion is coupling sound-healing with Qigong. The two art forms work synergistically to heal trauma, eliminate toxins, and get the nervous system into a parasympathetic state. The Qigong wakes up the mind and body, opens the visceral fascia, and dilates the energy meridians before the sound therapy takes place. It basically opens everything up and gets the energy flowing so the sound waves can get in deep for a cellular “tune-up.” Therapeutic sound tools then produce sound waves which work through sympathetic resonance to travel wherever they are needed. As sound moves to the parts of the body which are ‘out of tune,’ we return to a natural rhythm and frequency. The Six Healing Sounds of Qigong inspired Carla’s idea to couple traditional sound-healing with Qigong. This ancient Qigong method also uses sound vibration to transform negative emotions into positive virtues. It involves the coordination of movement and breathing patterns with specific sounds. The main difference is that Carla utilizes traditional sound-healing instruments in addition to the human voice. “Thank you so much to Tevia, Sarah and the WTQ team for teaching me the tools I need to create lasting health on cellular and energetic levels. My Qigong journey has been a life- changing healing experience, and I’m so grateful to have this beautiful practice in my life.”

Biography

I have always been active in sports like swimming, rowing, bicycling and Martial Arts. But as I was getting older, I kept getting more and more injuries from these sports. What I found was, that all these sports were about force from me and outwards. Also, as a professional in IT technology, I’m constantly delivering on deadlines and others’ expectations. Often feeling stressed and fatigue. Time for a change, I wanted something more inward. I turned to Qigong and have over the years tried different Qigong styles. But it never really got to me. Could not feel the Qi and not understand the deeper purpose of the movements. In White Tiger Qigong™ I truly get to see myself from within, get a more complex layer in the movements forcing me to be more focused and getting deeper into my Qigong practice. White Tiger Qigong™ have removed the pain from physical traumas, brought back mobility but also cleared my mind and released the stagnation of anger and frustration from my Liver. I have never felt calmer and more relaxed in my mind. Looking forward to sharing my knowledge with others, that also seek to inner peace and more vitality.

Biography

A lifetime of challenging experiences and overall poor mental, physical, and emotional health prompted the study and adoption of a variety of healing arts, resulting in a transformation in lifestyle, mindset, and a massive elevation in quality of life and spiritual connection over the last decade. My study and practice of White Dragon kung fu was a catalyst that simultaneously prepared me and guided me to an immersive study of Qigong. I am honored and grateful to be able to share my passion for Qigong as it is the foundation and centerpiece of my own physical, mental, and spiritual growth.  Qigong is a transformative lifelong practice that supports individuals of all abilities and capabilities in all walks of life. My primary focus is to share these practices, bringing mindfulness, health and wellness to my community.  By working with businesses, senior care facilities, and mental/behavioral health support facilities where I feel Qigong and my other practice in Holographic Sound Healing are an incredible combination to make a profound difference in the lives of others. 

Biography

Before I started learning White Tiger Qigong I was doing a lot of Sitting Meditation and practicing Wing Tsun Kung Fu.  I always practiced Martial Arts for Mind Body balance. The Fighting and Self Defense was just a side practice for me. I also always struggled with my back. Since Birth I had something called Scheuermann's Disease, which is a deformation of the Vertebrae and results in the Spine forming Strong curves in multiple directions, causing a Hunchback and Misalignment.  I often glanced at Tai Chi and thought maybe this might be better for me, also did some Yoga and tried some other Martial Arts as I was looking for a practice bringing Meditation, Breathwork and Movement together, while also having the right treatment for my Spine. When I came across White Tiger Qigong I was hooked immediately. The deep insights into Ancient Breathwork, Daoism, Chinese Medicine together with Sports Science seemed a revolutionary Idea to me. It was exactly the practice I was looking for! Within a short timespan I noticed my Back Pain fading away, my Emotions stabilizing, my Meditation deepening, my Qi Flowing and my Body feeling amazing. That's when I decided I want to share this practice with others and become a Teacher of the Art of Qigong.
