With over twenty years of yoga teaching experience, Paul continues to refine his approach, empowering others to achieve their goals of greater vitality, balance and peace of mind. He also incorporates Thai bodywork and Ayurveda, the Indian science of health through body, mind and spirit.
With training in various styles of yoga including Ashtanga, Iyengar and Viniyoga, Paul bases his yoga practice and teaching in the classical hatha yoga style of the Sivananda tradition, which is centered in the five points of yoga; proper exercise, proper breathing, proper relaxation, proper diet, meditation and positive thinking. He holds the Sivananda Yoga certification of Yoga Acharya.
In addition to open classes, Paul specializes in teaching unique populations including seniors, Parkinson’s patients, the developmentally challenged, and those in addiction recovery. He believes that with a little enthusiasm and the will to grow and change, yoga truly can benefit anyone regardless of age or ability.
Paul is an E-RYT 500 yoga educator and YACEP (Continuning Education Provider) with Yoga Alliance, advanced certification in Thai Bodywork, Ayurvedic Yoga certification, and has an M.A. in Psychology from the University of Santa Monica.
