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×
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
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.
