Since my first life-changing yoga class to where I have journeyed now, it is evident the impact practicing yoga has had on my life! For me, yoga is an outlet of creativity, enlightenment, and clarity. It continues to inspire me, and I bring that inspiration into my teaching by providing you the tools for achieving better energy, balance, and release in your body.

Paula Dillon
I used to think, "I can't do yoga. I am not flexible enough or fit enough." I was so wrong! Discovering yoga in my late 40s as an out of shape couch potato has given me the insight to help people of all abilities develop stronger, healthier bodies. Practicing yoga has transformed me. It has made me happier and more fearless both on and off the mat. I love to help people access poses, gain freedom in their bodies, stretch their minds and refresh their spirit. My classes are energetic and playful. Students finish class exhilarated and smiling. I completed my 200 Hour Yoga instructor Certification with Deborah Williamson of Wild Abundant Life. I am also certified in Yoga Body Bootcamp. My full time job for over 25 years is a high school biology teacher. I am a wife and mother of 3 sons.
