Who is Paula?
“Someone to watch over me…”
This is what Paula brings to her students—a soothing, calming, soft presence.
No matter what type of yoga, and especially in restorative practices, she brings an expert eye and nuanced attentiveness to assure that you have the best experience for you.
Each of Paula’s classes and retreats is a tapestry woven of yoga, ayurveda, poetry, philosophy, science, sound, love of yoga and love for you and radical respect and enthusiasm for rest in all its forms.
Paula has taught for over 40 years-first, French and ESL and then graduate language development and linguistic courses and for the last 25 years, yoga, ayurveda, and meditation.
With multiple degrees and certifications, what Paula most wants you to know about her is that she is here to support you.
Paula trains teachers, other professionals and yoga practitioners in the science and art of resting without adding to your to-do list (and other yoga-related things) in classes and workshops in person and online.
In addition, Paula is a certified Life Coach, retreat guide and author of 3 books (so far!).
She looks so forward to bringing her warmth and her sensitive nature to your retreat and yoga experiences as well as supporting you as Life Coach—in person and online.
