When I first met Paula in her yoga studio a couple of years ago, I knew immediately that I wanted to participate in her in her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Program, Align With the Divine.   In my initial session with her, I sensed in Paula a passion for the practice of Yoga, an integrity and enthusiasm in her presentation, and a very heartfelt presence that brought a depth and grace to the practice.

From the very beginning, the teacher training program surpassed any and all expectations I might have had, as Paula consistently provided a comprehensive curriculum, expert guidance, and warm, genuine enthusiasm for each participant’s growth in his/her Yoga practice.  Her teaching style is personal and professional, combining the qualities of intelligence, humor, and grace.  In her compassion for her students, Paula compels each to find his/her own unique blend of gifts to bring to the mat, to the practice, and to daily life.  Her keen perception, deep empathy, and clear guidance to each individual provide the sense of safety necessary for her students to engage in a maturing practice with courage and confidence.

As my Align With the Divine teacher training program comes to a close, I will continue to consider Paula my teacher.  She has been an incredible influence not only on my Yoga practice and my understanding for the depth of its teachings, but she has also has inspired me greatly in how to live my life with deeper grace, courage, and integrity.  This process provided so much more than I could have dreamed of, and this is absolutely related to the love, kindness, and expertise that Paula brings to her wise teachings.

For me the most amazing thing about practicing w/Paula is her teaching touch. She has an intuitive & practiced sense allowing her to make an adjustment to my asana w/the most subtle touch of one finger that teaches my body exactly what it needs to be moved to create alignment. It's quite a magical experience.
