Driven by the desire to create a community centered around healing through the modalities of Yoga and Breathwork, Paul Ferrall is inspired to create a teaching model in the west where practitioners like himself can share the practices they’ve cultivated free of charge for those looking for something that can help them deal with the anxieties of everyday life. 

Paul’s belief that healing modalities like Breathwork and Yoga should be taught in community without a monetary exchange stems from a recent trip he took to Bali, where breathing and movement are part of the cultures everyday spiritual practices. Studies have shown that a sense of community is imperative for an individuals ability to heal. A community focused on healing through Breathworkcultivates compassion, non-judgment and empathy, which are all things that are necessary to facilitate an environment that promotes well being. 

The practice of Breathwork found Paul while he was working as a sales director for a private equity firm doing software sales for Fortune 500 Companies. Dealing with the pressures of a corporate setting created a necessity for Paul to find something that could help him create moments of peace throughout his day. 

He currently resides in Maui, Hawaii and offers private and group Breathwork or Yoga sessions. Paul believes that if he can help one person change their life for the better through breathing, then he’s done his job here on earth.
