Paula Roberts, your teacher & recovering perfectionist!
Hello! On paper, I am a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, certified Laughter Yoga Leader, Secondary School Teacher, and Personal Trainer with over 20 years’ teaching experience.
Beyond the CV, I’m a recovering perfectionist and over-achiever with a busy brain & ADHD tendencies! After decades of self-study & learning, I’ve come to the conclusion that my mission in life is to use my innate curiosity to grow and have a lot of fun along the way!
Yoga has helped me slow down and given me the tools to find ease and balance in my every-day life. Of course, I still get stressed and – like all of us – I’m a work in progress!
But, I love and accept myself just as I am whilst learning, growing and reminding myself of my motto – Less Stress & More Yoga!
