Walk the Eight Trigrams, Awaken Flow, and Embody the Living Alchemy of Water and Fire
Ten days of in-person training at Alba Wellness Valley, where you turn the eight forms you already practice into a walking, spiraling embodiment of Bagua — trained in both the Fire and Water expressions of every form.
Reserve Your Spot
How much longer will you practice the eight forms standing still while the deeper transmission stays out of reach?
See if this feels familiar:
You've learned the eight forms of the 8 Trigram system. You know the postures. You've practiced them at home. You've felt what they do to your spine, your fascia, your breath. And yet — something is missing.
Tell me if this sounds familiar:
- You perform the eight forms beautifully in place, but the directional power the system is built around stays out of reach.
- You can name each trigram and what it represents, but you have never walked one.
- Your spine knows the shapes, but your feet have never carried them through space.
- You sense there is a deeper layer to 8 Trigram Qigong — and you cannot access it alone.
- You have practiced the forms one way, but never trained both their Fire and Water expressions.
- You have completed 8 Trigram Level 1, possibly Level 2 or 3, and the practice has plateaued. You know the next transmission has to happen in person, in a circle, with the teacher.
You are not stuck. You have simply reached the limit of what stationary practice and online study can teach you.
Your 8 Trigram practice hasn't plateaued because of discipline. It's plateaued because no one has walked the circle with you.
You've been disciplined. You've trained the forms. You have watched the videos. But the walking transmission cannot be extracted from a recording — and that is the layer where 8 Trigram Qigong becomes a living system instead of a fixed sequence.
And then the cycle begins:
A form you used to feel deeply becomes repetition rather than revelation. The spiraling power you sense in the system stays theoretical because you've never been corrected mid-step. You understand the eight forces intellectually but cannot walk them through your kua, spine, and shoulders. You can perform the forms with intention, but have never trained the contrast — the same form as explosive Fire and as continuous Water. Your practice becomes a thing you do alongside your life, rather than the system that organizes it.
The good news: the walking layer is where the system was always meant to compound — and it is exactly what the November retreat at Alba is built for.
The Bagua Walking Retreat at Alba — Ten Days of In-Person Transmission with Tevia Feng
The Bagua Walking Retreat is a White Tiger Qigong practitioner intensive held at Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion in Hue, Vietnam. Across ten days of training, you will receive the in-person transmission that turns the 8 Trigram Qigong forms into a walking, circling, spiraling Bagua practice — and trains the Daoist Water-Fire alchemy directly into the way every form is expressed.
This is not a martial arts certification. This is not a new system to learn. This is the embodied layer of the 8 Trigram Qigong you have already begun — the layer that cannot be transmitted through video, and the layer that completes everything you have practiced so far.
The Alchemy at the Center
At the heart of the 8 Trigram system sits the alchemy of Kan and Li — Water and Fire. In White Tiger Qigong, this is not metaphor. It is how every form is trained.
Every 8 Trigram form has two elemental expressions. Li (Fire) is fast, explosive, sharp. Kan (Water) is fluid, soft, continuous. Same form. Two opposite qualities. The practitioner trains both — and learns to walk between them as the body moves through the circle.
Inside the retreat, you will:
-
1Train daily with Tevia Feng across ten teaching days
Structured sunrise practice, theory, midday practice, and evening integration with 1:8 teacher-to-student ratio.
-
2Master circle walking foundations
Posture, rooting, stepping mechanics, and the eight directional changes that map to the trigrams.
-
3Train the Fire and Water expression of every form
Every 8 Trigram form in both its Li (fast, explosive, sharp) and Kan (fluid, soft, continuous) expression — same shape, two qualities.
-
4Integrate the eight forms into walking transitions
The forms stop being eight separate exercises and become one continuous embodied sequence.
-
5Build spiral mechanics through waist, kua, spine, and fascia
The kinetic chain training that transmits power through the circle.
-
6Receive your Bagua Walking Practitioner certificate
White Tiger Qigong Certificate of Completion awarded at the closing ceremony.

A Cohort Capped at 25 Practitioners
November 23 – December 4, 2026. Held for the first time as a structured ten-day cohort at Alba.
This cap is not a marketing choice. It is a teaching choice.
The walking transmission requires hands-on correction. Tevia walks the circle with each student during stepping practice. Beyond 25 students, the depth of correction that makes this retreat what it is becomes impossible.
Once capacity is reached, registration will close immediately.

Questions Before You Reserve
Is this Bagua Zhang martial arts? +
No. This is a White Tiger Qigong practitioner course that uses Bagua-inspired circle walking to integrate the 8 Trigram Qigong forms in motion, trained in both their Fire and Water expressions. It is not martial arts certification.
What is the Kan-Li alchemy that this retreat focuses on? +
+In White Tiger Qigong's 8 Trigram system, every form has both a Li expression — fast, explosive, sharp — and a Kan expression — fluid, soft, continuous. Same form, two elemental qualities. The practitioner trains both, and learns to walk between them as the body moves through the circle.
Do I need 8 Trigram Qigong Level 1 before arriving? +
Yes. Level 1 is required before the retreat begins. If you don't yet own it, choose one of the three bundle options —Retreat + L1,Retreat + L1–3, orRetreat + L1–5 Teacher Cert— and you'll get the online course at a discount. If you already own L1, chooseJust the Retreat.
Can I teach Bagua Walking after the retreat? +
No, not publicly under the White Tiger Qigong name. You receive a Certificate of Completion as a Bagua Walking Foundations Practitioner, not a teacher certification.
Is accommodation included? +
No. Alba Wellness Valley offers preferred rates to White Tiger Qigong students, and you book your accommodation directly with Alba. Multiple room tiers are available with daily breakfast and unlimited hot springs access included.
How does the payment plan work? +
All three tiers can be split into 3 monthly payments at no additional cost. Early Bird: $332/month × 3 months. Standard: $499/month × 3 months. Inner Circle Complete: $832/month × 3 months. First payment due at enrollment; full balance must be paid by October 24, 2026 (30 days before training begins).
How do I get to Alba? +
Fly into Phu Bai International Airport (Hue) or Da Nang International Airport (about 1.5 hours by car from Alba). Detailed travel guidance is sent to all enrolled students after payment.
What happens if I need to cancel? +
The remaining balance is fully refundable until 30 days before training begins (October 24, 2026). After that date, a one-time transfer to a future training may be allowed if space permits.
Is this suitable if I am recovering from an injury? +
The walking practice is low-impact but requires ankle, knee, and hip mobility and consistent standing through training days. If recovering from injury, email us before enrolling so we can advise.
I already own 8 Trigram Levels 1–5. Which tier is for me? +
If you already own L1–5, choose Inner CircleComplete — you still get the in-person retreat, the 1 private session with Tevia. The online courses you already own act as a credit toward your Inner Circle tier. Email us before checkout and we'll process it for you.
