2026 Taoist Energy Arts

Over the two seminars, all students will learn a four-posture set to train along with how to Walk the Circle. Energy postures help to connect key qi flows in the body and allow you to target specific internal organs to balance and increase blood and qi circulation.

New Students and Beginners

The material presented will create the foundation for new students to step into a bagua practice, although Circle Walking with Energy Postures alone offers a powerful practice to keep the body and mind fit and healthy. Bagua has been trained for millennia as a health, healing, meditation and spiritual art. The content taught will form the basis for Paul's multi-year curriculum in Yucaipa on Circle Walking and bagua.

Experienced Bagua Stylists

For those who already have a bagua or Circle Walking practice, this is an excellent opportunity to strip back the complexities, focus on refining foundational techniques, and receive feedback and hands-on corrections from Paul to upgrade your entire bagua practice.

Paul offers a Circle Walking & Energy Postures online course, which serves as an excellent introduction to the material being taught in the seminar(s).
