Hello 👋🏼 I’m Paula Roberts

Founder and teacher at Happy Yoga.

I’m a qualified teacher with over 20 years’ experience in education, now working as a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Level 3 Personal Trainer, Laughter Yoga Leader, and practitioner with a post-graduate diploma in Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD).

I’ve worked with a wide range of people, including those with additional learning needs, and I’m passionate about making movement and wellbeing accessible for real life.

I also happen to be a recovering perfectionist with a busy mind and ADHD tendencies. I know what it’s like to overthink, overdo, and still feel like it’s not quite enough.

Movement has always been part of my life — from climbing, surfing, and kickboxing to the more questionable phases like hula hooping and fitness crazes I absolutely did not need to take seriously.

Yoga started for me as something physical — a way to focus a restless mind and “get things right.” Over time, it became something much more useful than that.

It taught me how to soften, slow down, and notice what’s actually happening in my body and mind — without trying to fix everything.

⸻

These days, my practice is often simple. Sometimes slow. Sometimes just a few minutes on a mat.

And that’s intentional.

Yoga isn’t about how it looks. It’s about how it feels afterwards.

⸻

That’s what I teach now through Happy Yoga — simple, accessible movement and breathwork that fits into real life, not ideal life.
