Paula Gardner

Paula is incredibly honored to return to Harmony — the place where her teaching journey first took root. Natalie gave her the opportunity to step into a professional teaching role for the very first time, and the support she received here shaped her growth as both a teacher and a person. Coming back feels like coming home, and she’s excited to reconnect with familiar faces while welcoming new students into the practice.

With over 23 years of personal practice and 18+ years of teaching, Paula is an E-RYT 500, RPYT, and a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She is also a Level 1 iRest Practitioner, Usui Reiki Master, and Karuna Reiki Master. Her work teaching Veterans at the VA and volunteering with The Hospice of the Western Reserve deeply influences her compassionate, grounding approach. Paula’s classes are rooted in breath, awareness, and gentle self-exploration, offering students space to reconnect with themselves and experience the healing presence of yoga.
