Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra
Edinburgh, Poland and online

Helping you through stress, burnout and tiredness.

Weather you’re here as you find yourself tired, stressed, overwhealmed or you just want to learn how to slow down and breathe deeper - I’m glad you’re here.

With over 8 years of teaching experience I continue deepening my knowledge through various trainings.
I love what I do, but more than anything, I love witnessing the gentle transformations that unfolds in the people I work with. Less tension, better reactions to stress, improved sleep. My aim is to offer you space to slow down, soften, and reconnect with that part of yourself that feels tired. Together, we can explore and tailor your practice to what you need in this season of your life.

I’m Paula,

Originally from Poland, I moved to Edinburgh nearly 18 years ago and I’am grateful to now call it home. Yoga isn’t the magic medicine for life’s chaos. But it can be a part of the toolkit that helps to navigate it. It has been a steady companion for me through my own burnout, depression & grief… helping me stay grounded and navigate an often busy, restless mind.

I offer inclusive, accessible and trauma informed classes focusing on nourishing practices such as Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra.

MORE ABOUT ME

We’re all different and I believe there should be space for that in our yoga, movement and rest practices.

When I teach, I do my best to encourage you to listen to your body first, and my guidance second. What matters most to me is helping you build a practice rooted in awareness of your own needs, abilities, and limits - rather than the appearance of the poses.

I aim to create a space free from pressure
and judgment, where you can move at your own pace and develop a practice that truly supports you in any given phase of your life.

I was initially hesitant to attend rest yoga retreat alone, but I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised. From the start, the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere put me at ease. Paula’s approach was refreshing, offering space for everyone to move at their own pace with plenty of options for all levels. There was no pressure - just encouragement to rest deeply and listen to your body. Balance of quiet reflection and connection with other participants was perfect. The insights from these conversations were as valuable as the rest itself. Retreat not only left me feeling more rested than I have in ages but also reminded me of the true essence of yoga: mindfulness, connection, and self - care. Best thing I did for myself in years.

Permission to Rest retreat with Paula was, without a doubt, one of my top highlights of 2024! It felt like time really slowed down.Thoughtfully curated schedule, every detail was designed to create the perfect cocoon for rest. We were all met and welcomed with such softness, care, and intention which rippled through the group and the retreat…whatever you needed or however you were feeling was truly welcomed. Even though we were only away for a few days, it felt like so much longer, in the best way. I left feeling nurtured, inspired and so grateful to have met so many wonderful people. I can’t wait to join the next one!

Paula’s Rest Retreat provided a wonderful opportunity for me to relax & rejuvenate. Careful attention to every detail ensured that the group had everything we could possibly need, from delicious meals to exceptional accommodation, and everything in between!
Thoughtfully designed schedule and tailored to our need for rest, allowing us plenty of personal time to relax throughout the day. The retreat was peaceful, picturesque, and absolute bliss. I had a truly enriching experience learning the value of rest and will certainly be booking future retreats with Paula.
