Paul Smith enjoying the magic of Sedona
Paul believes that because “we are truly what we eat, and when we consume raw, pure, clean food that we become clean internally and externally. Our relationships with other people, our relationships with the earth and nature become more pure as well and from that purity we can become content, we can become peaceful and we can become healthy.”
Paul is an honest representation of a conscious, simple and grounded man. He lives within his means and appreciates a quality life. He lives by common sense, never to complicate but rather simplify life with a “less is more” attitude. He embraces mother nature and what she has to give. He is a light traveler but seems to still have everything you could ever need.
Paul can be seen commuting by bike or barefoot to his spaces of social community, parks and yoga classes full of inspiring people. He has been practicing Yoga and meditation for many years, journeying to India and Nepal to live and study these even more deeply. While there, he also learned much about the ancient holistic science of longevity called Ayurveda, the healing power of herbs, deep reverence for Nature, and the essential similarity and unity of all beings.
Paul returned to the States with eastern wisdom inspiring him to quest for more understanding. He enrolled in university where he received his BA in philosophy, psychology and sociology. He completed a Yoga teacher training program with Ayurveda training and began sharing his experiences with others. He was the co-founder and co-president of The Yoga Club, and thrived on empowering his community. He became an administrator, teacher and coach for Spirit of Yoga. Paul continued his studies at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts where he became certified as a Yoga Therapist RYT500, Hypnotherapist, Holistic Nutritionist, Vegan Chef and Permaculture Organic Farmer. Additionally, he is currently training to become a certified Life Coach, Aromatherapist and Reiki Therapist.
