So the white tiger is the  yang qi, and the green dragon is yin qi. You start out with the moving of yin and yang position.

 

Quote

Bring your right hand up to about the level of your mouth, palm facing towards the body.  Bring you left hand up to about the level of your belly button, with your left palm facing towards the body.  Your feet will remain flat on the ground during the entire exercise.  Pause in this Wuji position.
