Tai Chi Gung
Longevity and health directly from Lao Tzu.
Many people are unaware that the famous Chinese sage Lao Tzu was born in India. He mastered three ancient forms of Yoga there. In China he served the Emperor and was given the name Lao Tzu. Later he moved to Tibet where he opened the original Tai Chi Gung Lamasery.

Thank you for visiting Denver Tai Chi. Tai means Grand Ultimate, or Life. Chi means Energy and Gung means Temple or Body. With simple moving and breathing exercises, students bring more of the life force energy into their body. It is the same energy that sustains Nature.
Health secrets from a 3000 year unbroken lineage.
Lao Tzu spent 5 decades immersed in Nature learning the language and vocabulary of the Life Energy he called Chi. He discovered that it follows a scientific method… so it can be understood, and harnessed for any good. We share his basic exercises in a group class that meets weekly.

Tai Chi Gung Master David Paul
My name is Master David Paul. I’m currently the only certified Tai Chi Gung Master in Lao Tzu’s 3000 year unbroken lineage living in the United States. My mentor, Master Lama Rasaji has supported, guided and encouraged me every step of the way through more than 36 years of training. I serve as the National Director of Teacher Training for the Circle of Chi Community. For those who embrace a spiritual life, who search for truth beyond spiritual or religious dogma, who want to live an abundant life… Tai Chi Gung may be a perfect fit.
As a Tai Chi Gung instructor for more than 25 years, I’ve watched hundreds of students prosper in their health, their finances and their relationships. They build a direct connection to the Energy and are guided by it directly. I help people build a plan of action so they can live an abundant, prosperous life in every way.
You can take a weekly live class in Denver with me if you want to train face to face. In person classes offer the greatest increase in energy. It is the traditional way people have studied Tai Chi Gung for more than 3000 years. But if you prefer online classes, I lead 4 live classes a week on my teacher’s website. And for serious students, I am available for private sessions.

Do I have to twist in knots like a pretzel?
Lao Tzu’s Tai Chi Gung is very easy on the joints. We do gentle standing exercises that connect us to the life force in Nature and learn to breathe the energy.

Beth is the Medical Director of ICU at a Trauma Center. She has board certifications in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine and Sleep Medicine. She began practicing Tai Chi Gung about three years ago. Everyone at the hospital notices how calm she has become. She leads a Tai Chi Gung class in the cardio pulmonary rehab center where she works. And, without changing her diet at all, she has lost 60 pounds since adding Tai Chi Gung to her daily routine.
In 2013, Kim, a young woman in her early 30s living in Dallas had recently been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. She was in tough shape, living at home, barely able to function. She went to a workshop by my teacher and began to practice the simple regenerative exercises of Lao Tzu. Within 6 months, she was able to return to work. In the fall of 2023, 10 years later, I met her at an event in Nashville. She has been living a full, happy life for the past 10 years, keeping her cancer at bay, even though it remains.
I started practicing Tai Chi Gung when I was 25 playing violin full time in a symphony. It’s a very stressful job to begin with, but even so, musicians usually live a creative, passionate life. While playing, I used to get that inspiring soul chill up and down my spine about 3 to 4 times a year. After starting the exercises, the soul chills came more and more often. They grew stronger as well. I was getting them 2 to 3 times every week. I was ecstatic. Then one day, I came home from a rehearsal, and was guided by intuition to listen to a Mahler Symphony while doing my exercises. Suddenly, a surge of energy lit up the top of my head, descended all the way through my body and in that moment, I could feel the music vibrating in every cell of my body at the same time. Surges of the life force in sync with the music went through me from head to toe for the next 25 minutes. This was an incredible experience, and it was only the beginning.
