My practice has improved enormously, as I have entered into the sensation of Qi and it is a huge difference from before where I was doing the movements almost mechanistically”.

“After practising qi gong and meditation with the support of your online courses for at least 4 years, it really changed the way I experience the world a lot. Colours are more vivid and space is deeper. I feel more connected to the world and more as a part of it.

— John P, USA

“With many years of working on a computer and my yoga practice not providing enough relief, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Paul Cavel was offering a workshop in Southern California.

The first weekend in the Heaven and Earth workshop series provided a significant degree of relief to my body and was a wealth of learning.

Paul has studied, practiced, and taught Qi Gong for decades and is an embodied teacher. As he explains the many layers of the “simple” practice, you realize how much depth there is in the practice and his knowledge. His ability to teach through demonstration and making gentle corrections as you practice the sequence is remarkable. Studying with Paul is a unique opportunity".

—Matt, Police (ret)

“Thanks so much, Paul, for providing not just the tools, but the understanding of how to apply them. The whole experience has been all good”.

— Michelle, Retreat student

“Paul has been trained by true master of Internal training. Paul is able to articulate what he has learned.

Learning from someone with this ability is exactly what you need to really go somewhere with the exercises. I highly recommend his school.”

—Chris R, Bodyworker, Australia

“[A friend] encouraged me to share the benefits I experienced with Dragon & Tiger helping a rotator cuff injury. While it certainly did help, a much more important benefit concerned blood counts. Mine had fallen significantly from chemo hits. That’s bad enough on its own but it was all the more concerning in the middle of a pandemic. After 3 weeks of a much more regular D&T practice, my labs showed considerable improvement.”

I am very thankful for your excellent online courses as they help to improve my Qigong sets and Tai Chi; e.g. in D&T I managed to discover the belt meridian based on your respective lesson(s).

— Mark S, Streatham

— Tom B, New York

“It's been really great to be able to dive into and learn the form over the past few months, though to be honest just the proper description of the basic stance alone has given me enough to really get in and start correcting years of incorrect posture and breath. Loving it all so far”.

— Paul M, Glasgow

“I’m still keeping with the course, it seems to be very in-depth. I have studied tai chi before, but only the Cheng man-Ch'ing 37 style. Your teaching is so detailed, in your tai chi short form. From your lineage there are some layers that I think might need multiple viewings of the videos to install those teaching more fully”.

— William G, Kent

— Derek F, Boston

“I am getting so much out of the Peng, Liu, Ji, An approach Paul is taking with Yang tai chi. It’s totally changed the way I understand the first section of the form, 6 years in! All makes so much more sense and it’s so good to feed in that extra dose of precision when the movements had got a bit sloppy”.

— Anna Price, Tai Chi & Qigong Teacher, London

“I have been hanging out with you, virtually, a lot lately - following the yang style programme and also the meditations you've sent out. I've been practising T'ai Chi and qigong for a long time, and started traning with you a couple of years ago. I know people often say that they wish they had come across that quality of teaching years before; actually I don't! For me, it has been the right thing at the right time. I'm getting loads out of your teaching, so I just want to say a heartfelt thank you”.

— Alison W., Cambridge

“Great instruction and detail, no gaps to try and figure out. I have been doing Yang style for over 20 years, needed a new and fresh perspective, you did not disappoint, gave me valuable insight and it has deepened my understanding on tai chi. I've also done kung fu and Karate for many years and it has enhanced my understanding and experience in those arts. Thanks again for bringing a new revolution to my experiences”.
— Steve T, Canada
