Yoga
Understanding the foundation of movement for a safe, supportive practice.
Paula’s work focuses on the alignment of mind and body: understanding that we move not only from our muscles and joints, but also from the support of our inner body. While movement or asana can start from the inner or outer body, movement initiated from the inner body increases awareness and vitality.
Her teaching and insights are a fusion of anatomical and kinesiology studies with master teachers including Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Leslie Kaminoff and Richard Freeman. Paula’s classes are great for beginners as well as seasoned students looking to practice in a way that promotes health and connection, not merely physical exercise.
