Trauma sensitive yoga is an approach to teaching. Holding and providing space for our students is of paramount importance. We considers it a welcome responsibility and an honour. We provide a safe, welcoming & friendly all inclusive space. We are fully present, compassionate, non-judgemental & supportive of your yoga journey. We are ready to welcome you just as you are. We believe in the fundamentals of yoga for every body, every mind and every one. Our functional approach to teaching values the individual and their unique body & biography.

Paula employs trauma-sensitive skills in her teaching. Paula teaches with a functional, therapeutic, invitational, explorative and accessible approach. There are no hands-on physical adjustments given. She encourages breath awareness, somatic exploration and self enquiry to facilitate self awareness. Paula’s approach helps to cultivate a positive relationship with your own body and further develop the ability to feel your own inner experience.

Paula’s teachings assist in the regulation of the nervous system, working with breathing practices and somatic movements to soothe and balance the mind-body and create more ease and well-being. Paula teaches weekly yoga and wellbeing classes and specifically recommends Yoga Therapeutics on Tuesdays and Fridays – both from 10am – 11:15am. These classes are practised lying on the floor which supports a sense of grounding whilst exploring techniques to remain in the present moment through somatic movements.

Gentle flow yoga on Wednesdays from 10am – 11am offers standing somatic and therapeutic yoga movements which cultivate a sense of stability and foundation.
