Even though it was years ago I can still remember meeting Paulette because she immediately felt like family to me. A few years later I invited her to teach a meditation workshop at YogaOasis. The moment she started class I could feel the presence of the practice was alive within her. I thought to myself, 'this is going to be good' and indeed, it was! Paulette's teaching style is both down to earth and utterly astral.

I live and practice yoga in New York. Several times a year I travel to Arizona to be with family. Each and every time I visit, I make sure that I take as many of Paulette's yoga classes as I can. They are always among the highlights of my vacation. Paulette is a unique and gifted teacher. She possesses a rare and exquisite blend of technical expertise, teaching skills, spirit and heart. She brings an insight and perspective to class that is both nuanced and powerful, and she does it with humor, humility and an openness that is quite beautiful. In her hands I have seen and felt my practice and understanding of yoga evolve and grow. Simply put, Paulette is a gem.

Just wanted to thank you again for the special tailored class, and the gentle attention to my unfamiliar friend. I can't think of a kinder, or more insightful teacher to introduce Anusara. Once again carrying your words with me in my practice until we meet again.

Paulette Bodeman is an exceptional yoga and meditation teacher! She has the unique ability to teach the ancient practices of yoga and meditation in a manner that is both true to these age old mystic disciplines and practically relevant to every day modern life. Open your heart, challenge your mind and body, and let Paulette guide you on a beautiful journey within the ocean of your own soul!

Paulette is a gifted, compassionate & vibrant yoga educator. I use the word "educator" because she enlightens her students on the physical, emotional & mental planes of their Being. She is my mentor for Anusara Inspired and Certification. For the Inspired designation, she patiently listened to my fears and answered each question with wisdom, love & truth. Her support held me in Grace during my Class and I am eternally grateful!

With deep insight and understanding of Anusara Yoga, along with her intrinsic gifts of sincerity, kindness and playfulness, I have seen her serve every level student from first time beginner to advanced practitioner. As my mentor, her clear vision and unwavering support guided me to see what was essential on my path; recognizing my strengths and inspiring me to rise to my potential. I always felt supported and challenged without ever feeling inadequate. Her teaching is infused with love, dedication, truth, joy and kindness.

I was very fortunate to have Paulette as one of my instructors during my teacher training. If you take one of Paulette's classes you will immediately recognize Paulette's in depth teaching experience and her skillful ability to instruct her students through the asanas (poses). Her teaching style and practice is inspiring, her knowledge runs deep and her heart even deeper.
