I’m Paul.

Teaching and working in the yoga world is what I try to do most of recently. It brings me the most satisfaction and challenges me in the most positive ways.

I can’t get enough of teaching Awakening Yoga which I discovered first as a student. I still worked as a mental health nurse and figured I needed to look after my body a little more. First the physical practice. Then came the breath work, the calm of Savasana and the focus. I am now working towards my 300hr Advanced Teacher Training with Awakening Yoga Academy.

The ritualistic side of the practice provides a familiar space, paying homage to the traditional nature of a yoga practice and as the practice develops, student and teacher are encouraged to explore potential and freedom of movement.

I am lucky to have had a few adventures in Europe and the USA attending training and recently as part of the event crew. It is exciting to get involved and get to know the wider AYA community as we go!

Movement, breath work and specific training for strength and flexibility are all running in the background and they are topics that pop up in workshops and breakdowns across the board.

I update my teaching schedule regularly @buildrituals on instagram and always have a workshop or two coming up in the background!

See you somewhere soon.
