Paula stepped into her first yoga class over 15 years ago while living and working as a professional modern dancer in Minneapolis, MN. She enjoyed the calm and present feeling she had after her first class and began to practice on a regular basis. It wasn’t until she moved to the Northern Virginia area in 2005 that she began to feel the spiritual effects of her yoga practice and relied on the grounding effect her practice had on her. This period in her life at that time was in a state of chaos and practicing yoga was what kept her sane! Paula strives to bring that calming, grounding effect to her students through the teachings of yoga – whether on or off the mat!
