PAUL CAVEL

is the principal of The Tai Chi Space, a London-based school he established to teach Taoist energy arts. Since 1987 he’s studied Taoism, the I Ching, Five Element neigong, medical qigong, Yang and Wu style tai chi, bagua, qigong tui na energy healing and Taoist meditation. Paul has been a dedicated teacher of the Water Method since 1995 and he is the author of two books, The Tai Chi Space: How to Move in Tai Chi and Qi Gong and Heaven and Earth Qigong: Heal Your Body and Awaken Your Qi, the latter of which he co-authored with his teacher.


Paul is a gifted teacher who is able to embody the arts and break them down into easy-to-follow steps. I have seen him help others build extraordinary energetic foundations in their bodies.
