Gaining a greater understanding of the science behind yoga through practical principles and the philosophy can lead to a deepening in one’s own practice. We may do asanas, vinyasas and even pranayamas for years without truly penetrating the surface. Two key areas will be focused upon during this workshop:
-Practice based upon integrity of posture and respecting natural functioning, encouraging balance.
-Theorerical explanation that causes reflection and insight aiding in one’s own personal journey of yoga.

Practice sessions will cover key principles of asana practice, incorporation of bandha, ujjayi and drishti with vinyasa, ashtanga vinyasa in more detail, pranayama basics and discussion on philosophy and practice. Paul's workshop is insightful and inspiring but most of all it’s loaded with humor and lots of fun. For life is a journey refined by the techniques of yoga and to be laughed at along the way. Allow your intelligence to be stimulated and your pelvis to awaken!

Paul Dallaghan is one of three senior dedicated student of Sri O.P.Tiwari, one of the few remaining classical yogis and master of pranayama. He has practiced pranayama for many years under Tiwariji’s direct guidance which has led to deep insight and understanding of practice. Paul is also certified by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in ashtanga vinyasa, one of only a few in the world. He uses this as a base for intelligence in asana to be applied appropriately for the student. Paul continues with his regular routine of asana, pranayama and meditation on a daily basis and through love of the subject matter keeps up a keen study of the classical texts and scientific interpretations of what goes on in yoga.

Paul grew up in Dublin, Ireland, where humor and quick wits were a must for survival. After completing his degree at Trinity College he was bound for New York where his life in yoga began. Since 2001 he has been in Asia between Thailand and India with a primary focus on practice and study. With his wife, Jutima, they opened Yoga Thailand and continue to enjoy living there. Jessica has known Paul as a teacher and friend since 2002 when they met in Dublin, Ireland. She worked at Yoga Thailand from 2004-2007 and regularly to travels there to teach advanced programs.
