General Description 

An introduction to spiritual sexual restoration for men and 

women.  We will be presenting teachings from the Taoist 

tradition to help bring vitality and harmony into your 

intimate relationships. We will also be presenting practices 

to help restore and replenish your sexual energy from the 

White Tigress Green Dragon teachings. 

 

Any man or woman may enroll and will benefit from learning 

a more spiritual and approach to your sexuality. We will 

demonstrate and share experiential exercises to bring 

greater intimacy, healing and beauty into your sexual life. 

 

The retreat will include an introduction to: 

 

The Origins of the White Tigress Taoist Teachings 

 

Sexual Health, Restoration and Longevity 

The focus of these ancient Taoist practices is on living a 

good, healthy life, which, according to Taoists, includes a 

healthy approach towards sex. It means leaning how to use 

our sexual energy to heal and restore our physical, sexual 

and spiritual vitality rather than depleting, or wasting it.  

 

Teachings will include: 

 

• What are the Health Benefits of Sex for Men and 

Women 

• The Tao of Yin Yang Sexual harmony 

• Gathering the Three Treasures of Life (ching, qi and 

shen)  

• An introduction to the Spiritual Sexual Restoration 

philosophy and practices for women and men. 

• Eliminating the Three Poisons 

• Tranquility practices, spiritual sexual meditation 

• Cultivating your Sexual Chi for greater health and 

vitality 

• Tigress & Dragon Qigong  

• An introduction to the Tigress Willow Waist & 

Swimming Dragon 

• Tigress Healing & Sexual Restoration Practices for 

Women 

• Dragon Healing & Sexual Restoration for Practices Men 

• An introduction to the Healing Tigress Exercises 

 

An Introduction to Transformational Sexual practices 

 

• Bringing bliss and contentment to your sexual unions 

• Using your sexual energy for healing 

• Keys to giving and receiving 

• Sustaining and increasing sexual pleasure 

• Eight Types of Orgasms 

• Tips in the Tigress & Dragon Arts of Seduction 

 

The Tigress & Dragon exercises are offered at an 

introductory level, and are all gentle and easy to do. 

 

The exercises will range from conversations with each other 

to enhance intimacy and communication to times where you 

will choose a partner and share a sensuous experience 

together. None of the exercises will include explicit sexual 

contact. There will be an opportunity for exploring sensuous 

touch and various sexual meditations to bring a quality of 

tranquility and peace into your sexual unions. 

 

You will have the opportunity to explore simple and gentle 

ways to enhance your sexual confidence, vitality and 

passion. The retreat will include time to soak in the beauty 

of Sedona as well as time to relax and soak in all this 

beautiful information. 

 

Our lineage does not emphasize the performance of rigid 

sexual techniques, but rather presents guidance on how to 

discover and feel the natural sexual energy that resides in 

you. In accordance with Taoist views, and adhering to the 

principle of non-interference, there will be nothing within 

this retreat that you must do. You will be free to observe or 

explore these teachings in your own way and we will ensure 

the atmosphere and environment is one of thoughtful 

respect, safety and great care. 

 

We hope that you will consider joining us for what promises 

to be a lovely gathering, full of intimacy, laughter, and 

beautiful people!

Training Courses 

 

General Description  

These courses are designed for students curious to learn more about the 

Sexuality and Tantric aspects within the Taoist White Tigress Green Dragon 

tradition. Please keep in mind that while courses cover various aspects for sexual 

restoration, these methods have been used for thousands of years to increase 

overall mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual vitality.  

 

Originally, White Tigress and many Taoist practices were taught in private, 

highly personal ways meant to foster a close connection between teacher and 

student. Following in this tradition, we have decided to offer these courses 

mainly through private live-in style one-on-one or small group lessons. Because 

the true course is really about allowing these ideas to infuse your daily lives with 

greater contentment and tranquility, we have seen that private training courses 

bring the best results. True cultivation is about refining and restoring you. 

Techniques are easy to acquire. What’s difficult is making major changes in how 

you treat your self and others.  

 

You do not need to have a partner in order to benefit, and it is never too early, or 

too late to begin. 

 

Interested students should request an application.

Courses For Women 

Tigress Qigong 

Tigress Willow Waist  

Tigress Restoration Exercises 

Tigress Sexual Practices 

White Tigress Massage Sessions  

 

Tigress Qigong   

Various aspects of Tigress Qigong will be included in many of the courses to 

help bring greater flexibility and warm the body. 

 

The purpose of Tigress Qigong is to increase blood circulation, regulate the 

breath and calm the spirit. Exercises consist of simple, gentle movements, 

stretches and breathing methods. We will include a variety of Qigong practices 

for both women and men.  

 

 

Tigress Willow Waist   

Training Course 

One of the primary courses, considered as a starting point for the restoration of 

ching, is the Tigress Willow Waist. Ching, in part, is your body energy, including 

your sexual vitality. A traditional Qigong exercise (called Swimming Dragon for 

men) Tigresses used supplemental visualizations and breathing methods to 

strengthen sexual vitality. This practice  helps break up fatty tissues, regulates 

the intestines, digestive system and increases blood circulation through various 

Qi cavities and energy pathways through the body.  

 

The Tigress Willow Waist, along with the Tigress Restoration Exercises, are 

specifically designed for women in order to strengthen the waist, abdomen, 

breasts, lymphatic system and spine; areas where women typically gain weight 

and lose flexibility.  

  

Other benefits in performing the Tigress Willow Waist include: 

 

Restoring grace, fluidity and flexibility to the entire body 

Strengthening the spine, kidney and liver 

Firming the breasts 

Tightening the vaginal muscles and aligning the cervix 

Making the back muscles strong and pliable and thus easier to perform other 

Tigress Qigong Exercises. 

  

Private Training can be arranged on an ongoing basis for local students on an 

hourly basis, or can be arranged in a live-in training session. Please allow two 

days, 6 hours per day for instruction.  

 

Cost: $750

Tigress Restoration Exercises 

Training Course 

The Tigress Restoration exercises provide many of the same benefits of the 

Willow Waist, and much more. Each exercise is meant to invigorate various 

muscles, joints and internal organs. The entire regime is used primarily to 

increase blood circulation and make the spine more pliable. By practicing these 

gentle, nourishing exercises you will understand the reason why so many 

women have depleted their Ching and Qi. (You will not only learn what these 

are, you will feel your ching and qi become stronger with practice.) As women 

move into their thirties and beyond, rapid aging sets in—unless they learn to 

turn around and restore what they have lost. The attributes of flexibility and 

circulation women enjoyed when young can be restored, and the potency of their 

sexual organs and secretions can become even more robust with age. The Tigress 

Restoration exercises allow women to feel brighter, shinier and full of vitality no 

matter what their age. Accompanied by specific breathing methods and 

visualizations, these Tigress Qigong practices help calm the spirit and thus 

greatly increase a female’s sexual energy.   

 

Perimenopausal, and Post Menopausal Women 

In addition to these benefits, in conjunction with the Tigress Sexual Practices, the  

Restoration Exercises help ease menstrual tensions and reduce the menopausal 

symptoms of bloating and stagnant energy.  They are par excellent for naturally 

regulating hormones and reducing the loss of energy associated with 

menopause. Many women experience remarkable changes in their monthly 

cycles.* 

 

This course  \also includes teachings on Hygiene, care of the Gentiles, and 

Regulating Menstruation. 

 

 

Tigress Restoration Exercises Includes: 

Restoring the Breasts 

Nourishing and Care of the Breasts 

Increasing Sexual Energy 

Tightening the Vagina 

Regulating Menstruation*  

Restoring the Ovaries 

Tigress Yoga 

Cultivating the Three Peaks Medicine (mouth, breasts and vaginal secretions) 

 

*Post Menopausal Women also benefit greatly by restoring connection to their 

cycles, and easing shifts associated with hormonal changes. 

 

Note: Once you have completed the course you will be encouraged to begin a 100 

day practice on your own. During your 100-day practice you may ask questions, 

and have further coaching at no additional cost. 

 

Private Training can be arranged on an ongoing basis for local students on an 

hourly basis, or can be arranged in a live-in training session. Please allow two 

days, 6 hours per day for instruction.  

 

Cost: $750.

Massage is not only deeply relaxing, it simultaneously stimulates the sexual

of the Jade Gate (vagina). While it is not directly sexual, it is highly restorative
