The Early Years

Born with chronic health challenges, Tevia began practicing martial arts, Qigong, and meditation at the age of seven. These early practices were not about competition or performance—they were a means of survival, strength, and self-regulation. From a young age, Tevia developed a deep sensitivity to breath, posture, and internal mechanics that would later define his teaching approach.

The Turning Point

In his youth, a brutal car accident became the defining moment of Tevia’s path. Diagnosed with a serious spinal injury, doctors advised surgical intervention as the only solution. Refusing invasive procedures, Tevia committed himself fully to disciplined Qigong practice.

Through precise internal training, breathwork, and structural re-education, he made a complete natural recovery. This experience did not merely heal his body—it permanently reshaped his understanding of how the human system adapts, heals, and reorganizes itself from the inside out.

A Journey into the Roots

Seeking to understand the deeper mechanisms behind this transformation, Tevia traveled extensively throughout China. Fluent in Mandarin and deeply immersed in Chinese culture, he gained rare access to elite and traditionally closed training environments.

His studies included mentorship under Abbot Luo Pin Cho of the Tian Ji Dao sect, as well as advanced training with Daoist abbots in the Wudang and Wuyi Mountain traditions. These years were marked by rigorous internal training, long periods of discipline, and direct transmission of classical Daoist methods rarely taught to Westerners.

Clinical Experience & Healing Work

Beyond traditional training halls, Tevia applied his skills in real-world settings. He worked in a Medical Qigong clinic in China, supporting individuals with severe and chronic conditions, including cancer.

Over time, he developed carefully adapted Qigong programs designed to support people undergoing or recovering from intensive medical treatment. These programs have been used by cancer-focused nonprofits and hospital-affiliated settings in multiple countries as complementary supportive practices, emphasizing quality of life, mobility, emotional resilience, and nervous system regulation.

Integrating Modern Science

Tevia recognized that for Qigong to truly serve the modern world, it needed clarity, structure, and scientific literacy. He began integrating his classical training with modern anatomy, fascia research, neuroscience, and sports science.

He worked with education experts from Harvard and Stanford to design a university-style curriculum grounded in modern pedagogy, anatomy, and motor learning.He also collaborated with neuroscientists, sports science specialists, and curriculum developers from Cirque du Soleil and European Ballet, incorporating high standards for certification processes.

The White Tiger Qigong System

The result of this integration is White Tiger Qigong—a complete system that preserves the spiritual depth of Daoist practice while offering the mechanical clarity and safety required by modern practitioners.

Central to this system is Tevia’s “Bamboo Body” methodology, which develops flexibility, strength, and elasticity simultaneously. Rather than forcing the body, the system trains resilience, adaptability, and efficient internal power—supporting both healing and high performance.

Global Reach & Recognition

Since founding White Tiger Qigong, Tevia has grown the school from zero to over 70,000 students worldwide, certifying nearly 200 skilled instructors and teaching in more than 20 countries.

His students include individuals with complex chronic conditions, world-champion athletes, professional dancers, senior business leaders, technologists, government officials, and military professionals.

Tevia has been published in the world’s largest Qigong magazine and recognized as one of the top three Qigong masters in Indonesia.

A Teacher of Teachers

Today, Tevia is widely regarded as a “teacher of teachers.” His focus is not personal fame, but the creation of a clear, ethical, and scalable system that allows people everywhere to heal, transform, and realize their full human potential.

White Tiger Qigong is a living tradition—rooted in ancient Daoist wisdom, refined through modern science, and designed for the realities of contemporary life.
