The White Tiger Qigong Training Path

PHASE 1: THE FOUNDATION

For everyone. No experience required.

Before you learn complex forms, you must first learn the language of your body — how to stand, how to breathe, and how to move safely.

Step 1 — The Spark

Start with the Free 5-Day Qigong Challenge.

It’s the perfect way to test the waters and experience the feeling of energy flow.

Step 2 — The Foundation

Your first official step is the Beginner’s Course (or Gentle Qigong for seniors).

Here, you’ll learn proper stance, alignment, and how to synchronize breath with movement — the base of every WTQ system.

PHASE 2: THE CORE JOURNEY (THE 4 SYSTEMS)

This is the heart of the White Tiger curriculum — the core movement systems.

They are designed to be trained in this specific order, from easiest to most advanced.

1️⃣ The Opening — Dragon Meridian Qigong

Start here. This is your first full system.

Why: Dragon Meridian is the most joint-friendly and accessible form. It opens the body’s energy highways (meridians), improves mobility, and builds strong structure — preparing you for everything that follows.

2️⃣ The Flow — 8 Trigram Qigong

Go here second.

Why: Once the channels are open, this form develops fascia and rotational power. Smooth, spiral movements “wring out” tension and create deep internal fluidity.

3️⃣ The Power — 5 Element Qigong

Go here third.

Why: This system links movement to organ health and emotional balance. It’s more dynamic, building internal strength and emotional regulation. Train it only after Dragon and 8 Trigram.

4️⃣ The Integration — 5 Animal Qigong

Advanced. Train last.

Why: This is the pinnacle of the physical systems. The animal forms unite structure, breath, emotion, and spirit. It requires strong internal and physical foundations first.

⚡ THE UNIVERSAL KEY — INNER ALCHEMY BREATHWORK

Can be practiced in parallel after Foundations (Level 1).
Movement without breath is just exercise.
Breathwork is the fuel

.Why: Inner Alchemy Breathwork enhances focus, energy, and emotional regulation. It deepens every other practice — but it does not replace the core movement systems.

PHASE 3: THE PATH TO PROFESSIONAL (TEACHER TRAINING)

For serious practitioners and future instructors.

If you fall in love with Qigong and want to share it with others, this is your professional pathway.

Mastery (Level 4) — The Gate

After completing Levels 1–3 of any system, you enter the Mastery Course to study medical Qigong theory, diagnostics, and prescription principles.

Teacher Certification (Level 5) — The License to Teach

Once you complete Mastery, you can attend the Teacher Training Immersion (online or in-person).

Here you refine teaching skills, learn pedagogy, and undergo certification assessments.
