Kundalini Yoga

The Yoga of Awareness

Discover the transformative power of a customized Kundalini Yoga session created just for your unique needs.

If you struggle with mobility issues, muscle tightness, body tension, mental stress and are generally feeling rusty and creaky - this physical practice will help you regain the joy of physical movement. Our focus is to help you 'open the body first' and discover the joy of your own body. When the body is open, the asanas will become more available to you.

These sessions are tailored to meet your unique needs and focuses on the overall general health of the body, mind and spirit. During your practice, we will take care of your joint health, internal organs, lung health, detoxify your body, activate your lymphatic system and at the same time, burn unwanted fat, improve your body’s strength, flexibility and balance. Our bodies are in a constant state of 'use it or lose it' which applies to our mobility and our strength in order to assist with injury prevention. This becomes increasingly important as we age.

Yoga and stress-reducing movements can assist with personal leadership development plans through cultivating mindfulness, resilience, and emotional balance, empowering leaders to enhance self-awareness, decision-making, and their ability to inspire and lead with clarity and compassion.

My expertise extends to supporting individuals who are recovering from childhood trauma, psychological trauma, or PTSD, offering trauma-informed yoga practices that emphasize safety, empowerment, and healing. Trauma-informed yoga supports mental health for veterans and first responder wellness by promoting healing, recovery, and overall well-being through mindful movement, emotional resilience, and stress reduction. For children, I create age-appropriate sessions that weave movement, meditation, and breathwork into fun experiences.

Whether you're looking to rebuild, recharge, or rediscover your sense of balance, these sessions provide a sacred space to nurture your body, mind, and spirit while empowering you to step into your fullest potential.

Students are also welcome to join me in-studio at Vikara Retreats.

What people are saying

Marta

Paula is very knowledgeable and very committed to her own Kundalini Yoga practice, while being able to balance students at different levels. Her classes provide a good balance between showing what’s possible and catering to each individual’s needs and stage of development. Coupled with her intuition, her classes are a great opportunity to take care of both body and spirit!

I am not an athlete or a very physically active person. I was blessed with being able to be a weekend warrior whenever I wanted to be and my body adjusted. Well things have changed, I am a lot older now. I have a long way to go to be proficient at the yoga poses but, that does not matter. Paula accepts me where I am and guides me to improvement. I like things explained and she does that throughout the class. She informs us how each movement benefits the body. She checks on how I feel and what I think. Those inquiries make me be more aware. By being aware, I noticed that small movements created energy surges. I actually am alert, relaxed and have more energy after each session. I am improving and that keeps me motivated. What a great discovery and a blessing to have Paula as a guide through my transformation. Thank you, Paula.

Wow, what a surprise. I was satisfied with my current physical fitness routine when I added Paula's Kundalini Yoga classes. My intention was to add a spiritual element that would fire up my spine allowing my kundalini energy to flow more freely. Well, I got that and much more. My meditations are richer, and stabilizing presence is so much easier, but the surprise is how much stronger and more flexible I am. What a delightful surprise. Thank you Paula!

Paula is very knowledgeable with regards to health and fitness. She is very observant as I am new to this, I need the additional awareness that she has. My body has been aging more rapidly recently and I need to learn how to stretch myself in new ways. I am grateful for her knowledge and support and I recommend her as a teacher. I am sure you will be happy if you choose her too.
