Paula Smith

Yoga Instructor

Yoga for Paula began as part of a fitness routine 19 years ago. Then, when living overseas in Korea, she realized yoga was to become a forever part of her life. Studying, living and traveling India helped her integrate yoga into her life on and off the mat, a lifestyle not just a practice. A diploma in yoga education has given her a foundation in the traditional roots of yoga. Her personal online studies for the past 3 years with teachers in the Viniyoga tradition has allowed Paula to create an intergrated, breath-centered practice for nervous system balancing and over all well being.

Yin & Yang Morning Yoga

Cultivate a sense of balance in body and energy through this transformative practice. Yin & yang combines two contrasting but equally important styles of yoga, offering the revitalizing power of vinyasa with the calming benefits of restorative yin. Accompanied by a carefully curated playlist, the first half of the class will focus on dynamic movement and breathwork to energize the body and build muscular strength, and the remainder of the class will focus on gentle, nourishing postures that invoke deep, intentional rest. Yin & Yang has been Cindy’s most popular class at Luna Yoga PEI for good reason: this practice honors and celebrates balance on and off the mat, offering a well-rounded and balanced yoga experience that can improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Expect to leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and better connected to yourself. This class is suitable for ages 13 and up, with no previous yoga or meditation experience necessary.

Mindful Nature Journey – Yoga in Motion

Discover the power of nature to support, heal, and inspire by slowing down and immersing your senses in the outside world. This unique nature-based experience combines mindfulness, movement and the science of biophilia to create a deep, meaningful connection with ourselves and the natural world. Biophilia, meaning “love of life” or “love of living systems,” is the idea that humans have an inherent bond with nature that is crucial for our physical, mental, and emotional health. Research shows that nurturing this connection can significantly enhance our well-being, and bring peace, calm, and a sense of balance into our daily lives. This all-senses experience incorporates activities like yoga, walking, and other exercises, as well as guided mindfulness meditation and breathwork. We’ll move across various outdoor landscapes, such as parks and forests, and complete our journey by watching the sunset over the ocean. This event is suitable for ages 13 and up, with no previous yoga or meditation experience necessary. Please note that the route we will take is not wheelchair accessible.

Please bring: Please wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and footwear, and be prepared for any elements as necessary (bug spray, rain gear, etc). Yoga mats are not required for this activity, but a water bottle is a good idea!

This event will proceed rain or shine!
