About me
I'm Paula, thank you for finding me! I'm a fully qualified yoga teacher and yoga therapist based in Australia's beautiful Gold Coast. I have over 30 years of yoga practice and have taught over one thousand hours over the past 6 years.
Yoga is my passion. I fell in love with this ancient practice when, as a young student in the 90s, I joined a yoga class at university. I instantly embraced it and have been studying yoga ever since. I was encouraged back then to embark on teacher training but it wasn't until later in life that I finally made the decision. In 2013 I initiated my training with Yoga Scotland and more recently attained a certificate in Yoga Therapy from the Yoga Therapy Institute in Australia (Enlightened Events).
I cannot imagine life without yoga. It has helped me tremendously to stay fit, healthy and balanced throughout all stages of life.
Planting the seed of yoga in other people's lives and encouraging them to carry it through life has become my purpose.
