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.

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
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.

Biography
I’ve been a professional health care practitioner for most of my working life. My main career (35 years +) has been as a licensed massage therapist providing a number of bodywork styles and teaching these at times. I’m certified for 14 years as an advisor of the Metabolic Typing Diet and detox system, 11 years with Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and 4 years utilizing oxygenating therapies. I began practicing various forms of metaphysics, meditation, yoga and qigong as a teenager. Since then I’ve studied and practiced many forms of tai chi and qigong with some excellent and extraordinary teachers including Dr. Yan Xin from China and Tevia Feng, among others… I have several years of training in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) but have chosen not to finish these studies to be a TCM doctor. I may yet become one, but am focused primarily on bodywork, medical qigong and my other healing modalities. Another incredible healing modality that I’m preparing to facilitate soon is Holotropic Breathwork, which is in some ways quite complimentary and similar to qigong healing processes. I’ve also expanded my services to include doing Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) radiation assessments and corrective remediation for client’s homes and offices. These high EMF frequencies are a huge source of many peoples health challenges (as well as everything else biological on this planet). Practicing qigong can help “recharge” and balance out the negative effects of EMFs to a great degree. I’ve experienced profound health benefits from all of these forms of healing modalities. I’m fulfilled to pass these ancient and newer healing gifts forward to all interested, so they too can acquire the many health benefits available from them. Much Aloha to you all.

Since I can remember I have been interested in all types of body flow. Despite the approach of being active, connected to nature, and having an interest in body movement, I was facing stress in my life. Without any physical trauma, I became completely immobile due to a bulging disk in my lower back. After healing myself via a combination of physical movements together with mind exercises and meditation, I have realized that our bodies and minds have abilities, which, if cultivated can keep us healthy and promote quality longevity. It was then I started collecting preventative exercises which combine the knowledge and practice I have learned, tried, and proven successful on myself first, then on my friends, prior to offering public classes. In my classes I utilize knowledge from my previous studies and practices of Exercise Physician, Sport Science (Master), Physical Education (Master), Nutrition and different types of body harmonizing system studies like Yoga, Qigong, Dance, Outdoor Activities, and DNS (dynamic neuromuscular stabilization). I offer a combination of preventative, harmonizing, challenging and enjoyable exercises. I feel very fortunate for all I have experienced throughout my life, in addition I am grateful for all people (WTQ included) whom I have met as they have shaped me to who I am now, and what I can offer to help people feel good.

I discovered that I could connect on a deeper level with my body and my organs, and at the same time, feel the Qi flow and my connection to the earth and to the sky. Each day, I could feel that I had more energy, my mind was clearer, without forgetting to mention the emotional transformation, which was quite impressive. Tevia is a very caring and generous teacher. He shares his treasures of this ancient Chinese practice, the latest sport science discoveries, and link between the two. It is fascinating to learn with him. I also practice and teach vinyasa yoga and yin yoga. Yoga and Qigong are complementary in my practice, and they nurture each other. At first, I was practicing to reduce back pain and to have a better emotional balance. After years of practice, they have also been a way to reconnect to myself, to nature, and to others on a deeper level; to be more grounded by growing strong roots into the earth, which allow me to be fully present, centered, aligned and to blossom.

My fitness journey started 7 years ago certifying in Les Mills programs, following by yoga certifications in hatha, vinyasa, yin, restaurative and therapeutic styles. I'm also certified in TRX and Animal Flow as a level 1 instructor. My yin yoga certification brought me to get interested into Qigong until I found White Tiger Qigong. I immediately got engaged with this philosophy. As I continue to learn more about fascia and kinetic chains I started courses in myofascial release and therapeutic massage. Using all my knowledge in biomechanics and movement I teach my students and clients to have a more holistic training in their lives for longevity, being more present in their physical alignment while exercising, introduce propioception and interoception to cultivate awareness, and now teaching White Tiger Qigong.
