Lilian Kluivers: A Life Dedicated to Inner Depth

Lilian Kluivers has spent years immersing herself in Do-In and the arts of Eastern living. Her foundation was formed by influential teachers such as Sensei Kawada, who in turn studied with the renowned Shizuto Masunaga. Building on this rich lineage, Lilian has developed her own path, harmonizing ancient wisdom with modern insights.

In addition to her MA in Classics from Leiden University, Lilian has trained extensively in various healing traditions. This broad background allows her to approach Do-In from multiple perspectives: energetic, physical, and spiritual.

Her expertise includes:

  • Energetic & Bodywork: Shiatsu Therapist (Sensei Kawada), Master Energy Medicine & Shamanic Practitioner (The Four Winds – Alberto Villoldo & Marcela Lobos, and Shamanic Spirit Medicine).
  • Natural Balance: Nutritionist (Daverick Leggett, Whole Foods Harmony), Five Elements Vitality Coach, and Schuessler Cell Salt Consultant.
  • Spiritual Wisdom: Druid (OBOD), Tarot Therapy (Steve Hounsome), and Astrology (David Twicken).
  • Supportive Therapies: Aromatherapy and Bach Flower Remedies.

As the author of several internationally published books on Do-In, she bridges the gap between these specialized fields and the daily practice of Do-In.

"My passion is teaching you how to strengthen your own energy balance. I pass on ancient sequences while linking this knowledge to modern research. Together, we make the wisdom of Eastern traditions accessible and practical for everyday life." – Lilian Kluivers

The Roots of Our Practice: From Daoyin to Do-In

You might notice that we primarily use the term Do-In, even though our curriculum is deeply intertwined with the ancient Chinese tradition of Daoyin.

The reason is personal and rooted in tradition. My journey in this art was guided by my Japanese teacher sensei Kawada. In the Japanese tradition, the ancient characters for Daoyin are pronounced as Do-In. Out of respect for my teacher and the specific lineage I was trained in, I have chosen to keep the name Do-In as the heart of the Academy.

While we honor the Japanese refinement of these exercises, we remain fully connected to the original Taoist principles of Daoyin. At the Do-In Academy, we bridge these two worlds: the precision of Japanese movement and the profound wisdom of Chinese medicine.

The Power of the Academy: Real-World Experiences

Do-In is unique in its simplicity and focus. It is accessible to everyone. By combining movement with dietary wisdom and lifestyle adjustments, you can bring harmony to all areas of your life.

Going a Step Further

The feedback from our international community shows how versatile the impact of Do-In truly is. Its power is experienced in many different ways:

  • Yoga Teachers gain a deeper energetic understanding of their own discipline through the focus on meridians.
  • Students find relief from physical discomfort (such as back or knee issues) and experience improved sleep quality.
  • Women find natural balance during menstruation or significant life stages such as pregnancy and menopause.
  • Athletes enhance their performance and recovery through a combination of movement and targeted nutrition.

At the Do-In Academy, you go beyond simply following advice. You develop the knowledge to formulate your own insights and, if you wish, pass this wisdom on to others.
