Animal Forms Intensive
With Dr. Eva Wong
August 7 - 9, 2026
Animal Forms Intensive (Requires Tendons-Changing and Marrow-Washing Intensive)
Many Taoist qigong forms are derived from observing the behavior of animals and understanding how animals preserve, gather, transform, circulate, and store internal energy. The ancient Chinese shamans were the first to practice the art of “becoming” an animal to embody the power of that animal. The techniques of embodying animal energy were further developed by Taoist practitioners as ways of enhancing health and longevity.
The goal of this intensive is to train practitioners to embody the essence of the bones of the tiger, the tendons of the leopard, the spine of the snake and the dragon, and ability of the crane to channel energy to the head.
A new Wudangshan form, the Combined Five Animals, will also be introduced.
Requirement: Tendon Changing and Marrow Washing Intensive.
Note: Animal Forms Intensive may be taken back-to-back with the Tendon Changing and Marrow Washing Intensive.
This program is required for the Wudangshan Animals Long Forms and Qigong Level 6.
