Tevia Feng

Tevia Feng was born with chronic health problems and started qigong, martial arts and meditation as a boy, at first simply to cope. Later, a car accident left him with a serious spinal injury, and he made disciplined daily practice the centre of his recovery. That practice became his life's work. He trained with Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming in the early 2000s, then spent years with teachers across China and Southeast Asia. In Daoist lineages on Wuyi Mountain he studied with Abbot Luo Pin Cho of the Tian Ji Dao sect and Abbot Xu Zhong of Zhi Zhi An Temple. He learned Wudang forms under Master Yuan Xiu Gang and Baguazhang in the Sha Guo Zheng tradition in Yunnan. He also studied with Mantak Chia in Thailand and Edy Suwita in Sumatra, and worked in a medical qigong clinic in China under Dr. Ming Jie Wu.

His teaching draws on many transmissions: Medical and Golden Elixir Qigong, Five Element and Hua Tuo's Five Animal forms, Eight Trigram Qigong, the Microcosmic Orbit, Nei Dan internal alchemy and the monastic Brocades. He founded White Tiger Qigong in 2008 to make this material accessible without diluting it. He shaped the curriculum around three areas: Chinese medicine, fascia and biomechanics, and neuroscience. He says he worked with education, sports-science and performance specialists to set the school's certification standards. He is fluent in Mandarin, has self-published three books on qigong, and is published by YMAA. YMAA's author page describes him as having been named one of the top three qigong masters in Indonesia.

Today he leads the school's teacher trainings and retreats in Vietnam. He also takes a small number of private clients through his "Prescription System." It starts with a discovery session, then combines a Chinese-medicine constitutional reading (BaZi chart, face reading and a five-element assessment) with a personal movement prescription.
