Vitaly Filbert

Vitaly Filbert began studying Daoist arts with Grandmaster Lü Shiyang in 1998. He spent extensive time in China exploring Daoist teachings—making pilgrimages to sacred sites in China and Nepal, living in mountain monasteries, and immersing himself in spiritual practice.

Over the years, Vitaly trained in various arts including Qigong, Neigong, Taichi (Yang style), Xing Yi, Dao Yin, and Daoist Inner Alchemy (Neidan).

In 2011, he founded the first Daoist Centre in Ukraine, aiming to spread knowledge of the Daoist tradition and revive the millennia-old art of “nurturing life” (養生, yangsheng)—to enhance physical and psychological well-being for those seeking balance and harmony.

Since 2013, Vitaly has shared the teachings of the Zhen Dao school in London. A few years later, he moved to Los Angeles, where he continues to pass on his knowledge and guidance to others.

He is currently writing a series of books on Daoist cultivation, illuminating the deeper aspects of Daoist philosophy and traditional methods of self-development.
