Paula Strupeck Gardner

In my 20 years of teaching, my focus has always been on tapping into my students' interests and strengths, leading them to greater confidence in themselves in their movement and to deeper understanding and appreciation of the gift of their yoga practice to the rest of their life. I've taught all ages and bodies--wheelchair athletes, 96-year-olds in chair, kids in classrooms, teachers wanting to bring yoga to kids in classrooms, aging boomers (like myself) getting used to changes, people with MS, people with cancer and their caregivers, high school and college athletes. I teach people, and not poses, so I'm able to integrate all kinds of yoga into our work together.  

I'm also an Ayurvedic consultant and meditation leader; a healing sound practitioner and retreat leader and coordinator.  Before and after all, I'm a Mom of 2 sons who have been and continue to be my gurus, the lights of my life.
