Founder of Wudang White Horse Martial Arts School
Lindsey Wei
Imagine a life where radiant vitality, harmonious balance, and deep inner peace flow effortlessly through your days.
Discover how the timeless teachings of Wudang Temple Qigong — a Daoist practice perfected over centuries in the serene, mist-covered mountains of ancient China — can help you unlock a vibrant, more fulfilling life.
It’s early morning, and you wake up feeling stiff and weighed down. You want to feel lighter, stronger, and more aligned — not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. You’ve tried meditation apps and fitness routines, but they lack something essential... a sense of rootedness, a connection to your inner vitality and the world around you.
There’s a way to reset, recharge, and realign — not just your body, but your entire way of being in the world. Martial arts and Qigong instructor Lindsey Wei shares that for thousands of years, Daoist monks in the Wudang Mountains of China have practiced Qigong as a way to harmonize their bodies with the rhythms of nature and connect with the energy of the Cosmos.
Rooted in the Wudang Chun Yang Sect of Quan Zhen Long Men Daoism, this system isn’t just a set of movements — it’s a way of living in harmony with the natural world. At its core, Qigong is a dynamic, meditative movement practice that combines breathwork, gentle postures, and visualization techniques to cultivate life force, balance, and inner peace.
Join Wei, as she prefers to be called, for a brand-new 7-week course, where she will teach you the very same Qigong practices performed daily at the Five Immortals Temple on China’s White Horse Mountain, offering you a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in a lineage steeped in wisdom and tradition. You’ll learn to connect to the energy of the seasons, your body, and the Universe itself while building a foundation of strength, health, and emotional clarity.
Designed to meet you where you are, the movements of this Qigong practice are gentle yet powerful, accessible to anyone regardless of experience or physical ability. You’ll learn postures that strengthen your legs, align your spine, and relieve stiffness, while simultaneously calming your mind and bringing your emotions into balance.
Wei is a renowned teacher and practitioner of traditional Daoist arts, bringing decades of experience and immersion in the sacred practices of Qigong, meditation, and Daoist philosophy. With Wei, you’ll not only learn powerful, time-honored practices but also gain insight from someone who has walked the path, bridging ancient traditions with modern life to help you achieve balance, vitality, and spiritual connection.
Throughout the course, you’ll be guided step-by-step through a daily Qigong set practiced by Daoist monks for generations. Each session weaves together movement, breathwork, and meditation.
You’ll learn foundational practices like Sinking and Rising Pillar, which strengthens your legs, increases blood flow, and lays the groundwork for internal energy cultivation. Techniques like Crow Qigong introduce dynamic cleansing methods that release stuck energy and improve immune function. The Elixir Phoenix Sun, a powerful posture rooted in sun ingestion, can enhance your vision, activate your pineal gland, and connect you to the healing energy of nature.
Potent practices like Bone Marrow Washing can help stimulate your body’s natural capacity for regeneration, improving circulation and promoting the flow of Qi — the vital life force that supports your health...
... and techniques like Dragon Qi Returns to Source can help you call back scattered energy, focusing your mind and creating a sense of inner harmony.
Through Daoist hand seals, visualizations, and meditative stillness, you’ll deepen your understanding of the microcosmic orbit and Nei Jing Tu (Internal Body Map). By the end of the course, you’ll know how to store and preserve your vital energy in the lower elixir field, helping you cultivate longevity and spiritual connection.
During this health-enchancing course, you’ll:
- Build a daily Qigong practice with foundational movements that improve circulation, strengthen your body, and enhance flexibility while promoting overall vitality
- Learn to harness Dragon Qi and align your mind’s energy with your body to cultivate focus, balance, and inner harmony
- Activate and harmonize your upper, middle, and lower dantians to deepen your awareness and support your energy cultivation
- Discover ancient Daoist techniques for storing and preserving Qi and Jing in your lower elixir field to nourish longevity and spiritual connection
- Explore the microcosmic orbit and Nei Jing Tu (Internal Body Map) to understand and map your internal energy pathways
- Strengthen your connective tissue and immune system while expelling toxins and stress through dynamic practices like Crow Qigong and Pai Da self-massage
- Practice advanced techniques like the Elixir Phoenix Sun posture to improve eye health, activate your pineal gland, and connect with the energy of the rising sun
- Master the full Qigong set practiced at the Five Immortals Temple, empowering yourself with a lifelong tool for preventative health, balance, and spiritual harmony
- And much more...
In this course, you’ll experience the wisdom of a living lineage, blending movement and breath with profound spiritual teachings that can help make sense of your journey and create a lasting connection to something greater.
Whether you’re new to Qigong or looking to deepen your existing practice, this course provides both the structure and freedom to make these teachings your own. By the time you complete the course, these movements and Daoist spiritual wisdom won’t just be something you’ve learned — they’ll be part of who you are.

Bone Marrow Washing is an efficient and accessible warm-up designed to energize your body and prime it for deeper Qigong practice. This practice enhances spinal health, promotes flexibility, and gets Qi and blood flowing while strengthening your fascia network — the vital connective tissues of your body. With three simple movements, you'll warm up your joints — from your ankles to your shoulders — and stimulate your marrow, which carries the blueprint for cellular regeneration and renewal.
You'll also begin to purify your Jing essence, creating a profound impact on your health… and even ancestral patterns at an epigenetic level. Additionally, you'll explore the rich history and Daoist worldview of the Wudang Chun Yang Sect lineage, grounding your practice in ancient wisdom.

This soothing practice traces the flow of the twelve meridians, uniting yin and yang directionalities to harmonize your body’s energetic field. Through rising and sinking motions, you’ll regulate your breath and learn to harness the Qi of the mind (Dragon Qi), calling back the five elements to center for a deeper sense of embodiment, presence, and balance. You’ll explore the foundational principles of sustained standing, stillness, and observing the mind, while refining your postural alignment to create a strong, centered foundation.
Additionally, you’ll dive into the Five Element Theory, exploring its connections to color, sound, organs, emotions, sensory gates, planets, and virtues — discovering how to integrate these insights into your daily life.
In this session, you’ll:
- Harness the power of Dragon Qi to align your mind’s energy with your body, fostering deeper focus, balance, and inner harmony

Module 3: Heal & Transform Through the Elixir Phoenix Sun Posture (February 26)
Elixir Phoenix Worships the Sun is designed to support eye health, enhance vision, and even expand your perception of the light spectrum by activating the pineal gland. Known as a sun ingestion practice, this powerful posture connects you to the healing yang energy of the rising sun.
This module also includes a full review and continuation of the techniques introduced in Modules 1 and 2, along with instruction on how to perform an acupressure face massage for relaxation, anti-aging benefits, and longevity.
You'll also learn advanced techniques for sealing the dantian, harvesting and storing Qi, and harvesting and storing essence from your standing meditations. These practices include Teeth Clicking and Mouth Washing, also known as Bells and Drums Sound in Unison and Crimson Dragon Stirs the Sea.

- Cultivate a deep connection to the beauty and energy of the natural world
Module 4: Cleanse & Revitalize Your Body With Crow Qigong (March 5)
Crow Qigong, also known as the Rhythm Detox Method or Haha Gong, is a dynamic cleansing practice that helps release stagnation and renew your energy.
Using Pai Da self-massage, you’ll stimulate 20 acupuncture points from head to shin, promoting circulation and releasing healthy hormones that balance your endocrine system. This practice combines the powerful “ha” vocalization with heel rocking to expel toxins through the mouth, strengthen your bones, and prevent osteoporosis.
By engaging your connective tissues and fascial network, Crow Qigong protects vital organs, boosts immune function, and clears stress, trauma, and grief from your energy system.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn Crow Qigong, a stimulating daily detox routine that promotes circulation and revitalization
- Receive a visual guide detailing the names and locations of all 20 acupuncture points
- Release stuck energy caused by stress, trauma, and grief through gentle movement and sound

Module 5: Illuminate Your Energy Centers to Cultivate Balance & Stillness (March 12)
Three Stars Illuminate is a powerful sequence of standing pillars designed to activate and connect the upper, middle, and lower elixir fields through breath and visualization. This practice allows you to directly experience these three energy centers — each with its own unique qualities and purpose — while cultivating awareness and balance. By incorporating Daoist hand seals and meditation techniques, you'll learn to focus your mind and enter a state of stillness.
These postures can be adapted to a seated or standing position, making them accessible to all. Additionally, you'll explore the microcosmic orbit and Nei Jing Tu (Internal Body Map), gaining a deeper understanding of how the three dantians function within the Daoist energetic system.

You’ll add the foundational standing exercise Chen Fu Zhuang (Sinking and Rising Pillar) to your Qigong morning set, while continuing to build upon and refine everything you’ve learned so far. This essential posture strengthens the legs and improves blood flow by combining bending and straightening movements with reverse breathing along the internal pathway of the microcosmic orbit.
Through the graceful motions of “lifting the sun and setting the moon,” this practice integrates body and breath to deepen your energy cultivation. As a cornerstone of both Qigong and Tai Chi, this exercise is a vital step in your journey toward mastering Neidan, or internal alchemy.

It is difficult to put into words the depth and immensity of studying the Seven Star Sword form at camp with Shifu Lindsey Wei. The fierce clarity and wisdom with which she teaches calls each of us to reckon with who we are and why we are here, to come to ourselves and to each other with a commitment to humility, curiosity, and presence that allows for truly unimagined changes and learning to unfold. As a guest to this lineage, I feel continually honored and humbled by the ways it changes me and my relationship to the world, and moves me toward a deeper kind of attention and intention.
Senior student of WWH
Lindsey, thank you so much for sharing these sacred teachings. I can feel this practice working on me — sensitizing me to my inner and outer space, moving grief and generating renewed energy, reconnecting me with my martial artist and sense of agency and discipline. It has been a privilege to study with you and I hope for another opportunity sometime in the future.
Meditation and sword student, California
Training with Wudang White Horse and teacher Lindsey Wei brings me home inside my body while pushing and expanding the boundaries of what I understand that to mean. Studying in a firmly held container, with the sword, Gong Fu, sitting with the altar and the meditations both moving and still are medicines that bring me to a distinct and revelatory internal spaciousness. Lindsey walks the narrow path of stewardship with great care and humility. and it is a rare and precious opportunity to receive these teachings and contemplate these wisdom treasures in community and under her guidance. Each time I have left these immersive training periods I am humbled, inspired, renewed, filled with gratitude, and eager to return.

More Praise for Lindsey Wei
I am truly grateful to Lindsey for learning, refining, and caretaking these arts. It takes a special person to create containers in which we can authentically access these ancient teachings in a modern setting. One of the unique things about the arts learned through WWH is the sense of connection you feel when training intensely: connection with the lineage, teacher, training partners, teachings, and Dao; connection with nature, as these movements and meditations actualize and embody a more natural way of moving through the world; and even a connection with deeper parts of your self — characteristics and patterns that only become apparent under pressure. Likewise, finding a connection between these martial, meditative, and healing movements and the more formally taught healing I’ve learned as an acupuncturist has given me a depth of understanding that I would not have without this access point and connection. There is not a day that goes by in my work that isn’t influenced by what I’ve learned and directly experienced here and in continued training at home. These are truly transformative practices when sufficient time and effort is applied.
WWH instructor, track and field athlete, Olympic coach, and acupuncturist, Costa Rica
I first met Lindsey Wei in search for a deeper connection to my own practice. So I left my home in Puerto Rico to learn and to be of service. I found a way to simplify life and appreciate the process of existing while she teaches me to develop focus, discipline, and sharpen my skills of discernment. It is an honor to share this path and to continue the work supporting Lindsey’s school.
