Yuxianpai Daoist Alchemy

Wang Chongyang – Quanzhen – School of Ma Danyang (遇仙派 Yuxianpai) Neidan “School of Encountering Immortality”

Ma Danyang, the founder of Yuxianpai was the first (senior) Disciple of Wang Chongyang. So The School is older than the famous Longmenpai (Dragon Gate).

Dao De Center is the official (and only) representative of the Yuxiapai Traditional School in the West.

Yuxianpai School – The Ancient Northern Open School of Daoist Alchemy. Open school means that it is possible to obtain methods without the traditional passage of the rite and without taking on the obligations of a disciple.

Within the framework of this School, we are teaching preliminary Yuxianpai methods to prepare the body and channels for the main organ cleansing – belonging to the main stage of “laying the foundation” in Daoist alchemy.

You can get acquainted with the methods of the Yuxianpai School in our weekly classes.

In the program, students learn the following:
  • Preliminary preparation system of Yuxainpai school
  • Given the allowance – methods for deeply restoring and strengthening the functions of major internal organs according to Wuxing (5 elements).
  • Special auxiliary practices of Yuxainpai school to improve progress in alchemy and life itself.

A Daoist is a person who has chosen as one of his life priorities the study of Daoism as a practical science about changing and improving oneself and one’s life, the lives of one’s loved ones, as well as bringing harmony to society as a whole. If this desire is in your heart we welcome you to study with us.


Our classes are structured in such a way that those who begin to practice are gradually drawn into daily practice – after class, the body gains lightness, peace, and tranquility come in the soul – the body itself asks for training!

Preliminary Preparation Methods

Preliminary preparation methods of Yuxainpai school is a unique exercise system specifically given to the modern human by the Yuxianpai School, given as a tool to self-regulate, harmonise, and maintain a healthy body and mind.

The Yuxianpai introductory methods correspond to traditional Daoism, and take into account Chinese medicine and emphasise the balance and alchemical integration of yin and yang energies within the body.

The aim of the Yuxianpai introductory methods is to open the body’s inner channels and provide a free and harmonious flow of Qi energy throughout the body to improve physical fitness, overall well-being, and longevity.

Once having passed examinations and achieving certain results in the introductory course. Though it is called “introductory” this could take 6-12 months subject to regular class attendance and stable home practice, it should not be taken lightly.
