Paul Cavel
Paul Cavel is an Energy Arts Senior Instructor who began his studies in the internal arts in 1987, with tai chi chuan. Two years later he started to focus deeply on the Taoist neigong taught by Master Bruce Frantzis after realising this was the core material from which the internal arts were powered.
In 1994, Paul Cavel stepped up the intensity of his training by moving to California, where he lived and studied with his teacher for more than a year. It was during this time that Paul received a good grounding in bagua zhang. He fused his previously learnt neigong into the bagua palm changes using the original Pre-birth Circle Walking method. After leaving California, Paul started teaching neigong, tai chi, bagua and Taoist meditation with the encouragement of his teacher. Paul continues to train with Master Bruce Frantzis, moving into the deeper aspects of these arts – meditation and healing.
He is the author of The Tai Chi Space: How to Move in Tai Chi & Qi Gong.
