Paula Cunha

Paula discovered yoga when she moved to the United States from her native Brazil in 2010. She immediately fell in love with the practice and took on a 200-hour teacher training course at Yoga People to deepen her practice. Since completing her studies, she has been steadily working towards a full-time career as a yoga instructor.Paula has always been involved in body awareness, even before her discovery of yoga. She practiced capoeira, muay thai, soccer, ballet and many other activities growing up in Brazil. She is also a graphic designer and an illustrator, through which she developed a keen and observant eye of the human body.Paula's classes have been described as both invigorating and relaxing. Through a gentle Vinyasa sequence and breath work, she creates the necessary space for students to explore their own bodies, feelings and sensations, allowing them to tap into the deeper layers of themselves.
