FOUNDATIONS
PRANAYAMA IS MORE THAN A BREATHING TECHNIQUE
​
WHEN IT COMES TO THE BREATH AND FEELING, INTIMACY BRINGS CLARITY
WHEN IT COMES TO DISPELLING DOUBT AND CONFUSION AROUND THE DEEPER DIMENSION OF YOGA INTIMACY BRINGS CLARITY.
THE RICH AND SUBTLE PROCESS OF PRANAYAMA IS AS MUCH ABOUT INTIMACY AS IT IS ABOUT THE BREATH.
PRANAYAMA EXPANDS AND REFINES OUR CAPACITY FOR FEELING AND OPENS US TO THE INTELLIGENT RESPONSIVENESS NECCESARY TO NAVIGATE OUR INNER LIFES.

What students say.
Paul Wooden is a yoga teachers’ teacher. He offers a wonderful, eclectic blend of yoga traditions.
It’s hard to convey the deep richness of his teaching, nor the exceptional skills and mastery that he uses in his work. Paul has a massive depth of theoretical and practical knowledge in all areas of yogic study.
He teaches with an open heart and humility, honouring each student with deep respect, and delicately nurtures each student’s development.
Personally, I consider being Paul’s student to be essential to my ongoing training and development as a yoga student, yoga teacher and student of life!

Meet Paul
Paul Wooden has been practicing and studying yoga and meditation for 35 years and teaching for 30 years.
He draws from his experience in many different styles and traditions and, through a practical understanding of their underlying unifying principles, weaves together a cohesive and integrated approach to yoga.
​
Paul is a unique voice in the world of yoga. He has a way of bringing the sometimes abstract teaching of yoga into ordinary language making them accessible and workable in our lives.
​
For Paul, yoga is first and foremost a relational process, with technique being a way to serve a deepening and more intimate relationship with ongoing moment to moment reality of our lives.
​
Working with Paul is an invitation to the deeper dimensions of practice. His particular way of working opens us to the sensitivity and receptivity necessary for the subtler inner practices.
