Le Guru is You! Hatha Yoga in the Vinyasa tradition on Kauai

 

Please allow your stories to be left at the door with your shoes.
You may pick them up if you really want them on your way back out.
They are not required to enter here.

Kiss your ego and allow it to be still.
As you achieve your comfortable seated posture
and consciously take in your next breath, also take in this assurance.

There is no need to achieve anything here...
There is no need to defend anything here...
This is a safe place.
All is one, in breath and life. All is here now.

If there is any request of you it is to allow yourself to remain p resent
and as open as you can ... to you!
It may be that you open wide to you today.
It may be that you peek through a crack and find a glimpse of you today.
The door opens as you are ready. No sooner. No later.

And thus we create the connection- the YOGA -
between the anxiousness to see and patience needed to wait for the understanding.
It’s that space between the in-breath and the out-breath.
It may be uncomfortable at times.
Opening to ‘us’ can be so damned uncomfortable,
but it is in this space that we remember and receive.

Listen for it with your heart.
Feel it in your body.
Relish it with your spirit.

Namaste,

Paul's Yoga Philosophy

Some 15 years ago on the Big Island of Hawaii Hatha Yoga found Paul Reynolds (or was it the other way around?). Either way the "connection" was made, He had found 'home.'

Paul Reynolds' Yoga practice and teaching philosophy have been rooted in the knowing that we are all Unlimited Ideas and that the truly effective teachers are our gurus within. Paul shares "Le Guru is You! - Hatha Yoga in the Vinya sa Tradition". Recently the practice has relocated from the Northern California coastal town of Half Moon Bay to the Island of Kauai.

His grounding in form and philosophy have come from the White Lotus' teacher training, advanced teacher training, and Thai Yoga Therapy programs. He received his certification from master teachers Ganga White and Tracey Rich and co-taught the 16 day teacher training sessions with fellow teacher Kent Bond and the White Lotus teaching team.

Paul's eclectic, innovative, intuitive style is committed to creating a safe place to launch ones' personal discoveries; inspiring students to find their own distinctive voice as they deepen their practice and find their own answer to the age-old questiojn "What is Yoga?"

"I approach each class as an opportunity to invent ways to access the body uniquely."

Paul Reynolds, Half Moon Yoga pose"Life is a we aving of similarities and the unexpected. We ride a wave of … possibilities. The body has an opportunity to "speak" to us through effective opening when the mind/body dynamic doesn't get too comfortable with patterns."

"Using 'traditional' asana and sequencing opens us in certain ways and focusing the mind on certain patterns lend it a certain texture. However the patterns can become familiar "crutches" if we are not careful. As we develop and begin to make the practice our own, feeling the bodies' rhythms, new openings present themselves when we (our thinking mind) least expect them. This allows oneself to be totally "in-the-moment". It is in this way that a deeper form of learning can avail itself."

Recognizing that some of his best and most immediate teachers are his students, Paul observes his role as…

A quote from Paul Reynolds

Paul extends his deepest thanks, res pect and love to those who have guided him along this path. Experiencing the teachings of Eric Schiffman, Saul David Raye, Sarah Powers, Tim Miller, Cheri Clampett, Robert Brook, Klaus Lehrach, Duncan Wong, Kent Bond, Michael Lechonzak, Max Thomas, Paul Gilley, John Friend, Patricia Howard and Richard Freeman, to name a few - have all made their mark on Paul's eclectic, intuitive approach.

A quote from Erin Tormey, fellow yoga instructor

Paul Reynolds, forward foldHis 25 years of experience in the corporate structure, primarily as a customer relations representative have become invaluable in his teaching to business groups.

"This allows me a valuable insight into bringing Yoga into the corporate setting", comments Paul. "I have experienced the types of pressures one encounters with a full day in a cubicle, at the computer listening to other s tressed-out individuals on the phone. Yoga practice is a way to help recognize how we can open to and embrace those situations more completely and effectively."

Paul is available for Private yoga classes on Kauai and Corporate instruction. For Paul's Kauai Yoga schedule click here. Additional details, questions and concerns please call (650) 773-3422 or contact Paul by E-mail.
