Paola

Yoga Teacher

My yoga journey began right here at ASMY. I was searching for mindfulness practices to help navigate the challenges of mental health, and what I found was so much more than I expected.

Through ASMY, I was first introduced to meditation and kirtan, which opened the door to a deeper connection with myself. From there, I fell in love with yoga as a way of moving, exploring, and connecting with my body.

In 2018, I completed my first yoga teacher training with a focus on neuroscience and neuroplasticity. This experience taught me that flexibility is not just about the body—it’s also about cultivating a flexible, resilient mind. Since then, my passion for learning has led me to further studies in Yoga for Trauma, Yoga and the Vagus Nerve, Zen Thai Shiatsu, Advanced Sequencing, and many other areas. For me, the learning never ceases.

I have also trained in Kids Yoga, with a foundation in play-based learning and attachment theory, helping children develop confidence, connection, and emotional wellbeing through movement.

My teaching style blends the timeless foundations of yoga with creative expression and mindful movement. I love empowering students to explore the many possibilities within their bodies while cultivating focus, calm, and self-awareness. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or have an established practice, my goal is to help you move with confidence, curiosity, and joy.

As I always say: the aim of the class is happiness!

Come and join me on the mat every Monday and Tuesday at 6:00am for an energetic and uplifting start to your week.
