Biography

I passed the certification to be teacher in 8 trigram organ Qi Gong and 5 elements Qi Gong It was an extraordinary experience. The training is very complete linking traditional ancestral practices, foundations of Chinese medicine and current research on anatomy and Western medical science. Tevia is a demanding Master but also very generous in his teaching towards his students as soon as they are motivated, expert, passionate, humble, very attentive to the smooth running of the courses and listening to the satisfaction of his students. I really recommend the internships and training of White Tiger Qi Gong

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

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

Joonas 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.
