Biography
Paula (Director Yoga22)
Paula is a Bachelor of Sports Science (Hons) and holds a P.G.C.E. Paula taught P.E. for 22 years at Secondary School level and holds various coaching qualifications, including British Gymnastics Trampolining Coach. In 2016, Paula was diagnosed with a Hip Impingement Syndrome and made the difficult decision to leave the teaching profession. Making the transition from being relatively active on a daily basis to now having to preserve the hip joint was life changing and something Paula struggled with initially, until Physiotherapists and Doctors suggested Yoga to maintain mobility and flexibility in the joint. Paula began attending a couple of Yoga classes a week and soon found, not only physical, but also mental health benefits. She turned to online classes during the Covid Lockdowns and decided to build her own practice studio as well as embarking on a Level 3 Diploma in Yoga Teaching course to further her own practice. In 2022, Paula set up ‘Yoga 22’ and now delivers 1-1 yoga sessions in her cosy studio. She actively promotes the mental and physical benefits of Yoga in the local community and holds a number of weekly classes to include Chair Yoga and Hatha Yoga classes, which are also suitable for all levels and abilities, including beginners. Paula’s extensive knowledge of sports allows her to tailor her yoga sessions for individuals who may want to also improve their physical performance in a sport or learn how to use yogic breathing and guided visualisation to enhance their skill level. Furthermore, due to her own physical condition, Paula has a particular interest in the health benefits of Yoga, and how it can be used to improve conditions such as Diabetes, Sleep Disorders, Early Onset Dementia and Back Pain to name just a few. Paula is a Qualified Yoga Teacher, endorsed by HFE and is a member of the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity.
