Hello & welcome

Hello Paula, Your welcome card made its way all the way to Canada! Thanks so much for sending a written message. It seems letter writing is becoming a lost art and your note was much appreciated. I discovered you some years ago on YouTube when my wife suggested Yoga was a great of exercise. Also, having lived in Melbourne many years ago, I was thrilled to have an Aussie accent back in my ears. Winter is upon us now, and it is an even greater time for Yoga practice. Many thanks for all your hours of hard work on the new platform. Murray

Dear Paula, You are a true gem appearing in my life! ❤️ I have a condition that cognitive wise reminds of severe late onset cuncussion - I have cronic fatique, Histamine Intolerence, MACS just to name a few. All that primarily due to an overactive and overloaded nervous system through all my life. I have been almost complete socialy isolated for 4years struggeling with this. 💙 I am 54 years old and was diagnosed with ADHD 3 years ago. Before this I have worked as a Primary School teacher for more than 20 years - I love kids! Fortunately I have two lovely kids living across my street who very often swings by ☺️ I LOVE your yoga! And I LOVE that you now have this app! Its perfect for a tired brain and an overloaded nervous system. I LOVE your energy,I love your simplicity, I love your sencerity. I love that most of your videoes are with no music! You have made a huge positive difference in my life - when I do yoga with it allmost feels like hanging out with a dear friend. 🧡 Thank you Paula! - as I always say out loud when the session is over. 😆💕 And a little funny bonus info; my sons girlfriend Anika, lives in Melbourne. He has been studying in Amsterdam for the last two years and now finishing his master from remote living here in Denmark. They take turns visiting each other either in europe or in Australia and have been doing that for the last almost 2.5 years 🥰 A very big hug from me here in Denmark 🥰 Naya

Hello from the UK! I found you on YouTube during covid and I've been following you ever since. I'm looking forward to using the app and hoping it will encourage me to practice more regularly

Thank you 💖🙏

Thank you for such a warm welcome. I was so excited to discover you were starting Ahimsa, having been regularly doing your meditations and yoga on You Tube. Your teaching struck a chord deep inside from the off, and it is much appreciated. In fact, part of the reason I started teaching myself was the connection I felt with your practices and the confidence and belief that produced , so a big thank you.

Did my first practice using the app today and found an amazing improvement over the YouTube platform. I cast the class to my tv using my Apple TV, and when the class ended, the smooth jazz streaming music video that I was listening to prior to the class started automatically! I have had a practice of having my Apple TV remote in my hand during shavasana so that the video didn’t roll into the next on on the monthly playlist. Not having to put energy into this is a big relief! This allows me to extend the shavasana or go straight into a meditation after the practice. Wonderful!

Hi Paula, I discovered your YouTube channel back in 2029 when my Yoga studio closed. I never thought that I would practice with an online Yoga guide, yet your warm and humble approach as well as modest attire made me feel comfortable and I have been practicing with you ever since. Glad to join your new platform, and hope to see more vlogs of yiur thoughts! I travel the earth full time, so having your familiar voice wherever I am is wonderful.

Hi Paula I am Mala from Melbourne! Thanks for all the free videos on the YouTube channel. I enjoyed doing yoga with you. Love to you and the family.

I’m really excited to have a more direct contact with my yoga teacher and spiritual guide :) I hope to gradually get back to attending classes more regularly. After the birth of my twins, it’s been a bit difficult to find the time. Last night I did the 1-hour meditation. Greetings from Germany.

Thank you for such a warm and mindful welcome! I have been really enjoying the space and I have certainly found the content much more accessible. It is great to be able to contribute to the community through membership. I thought I'd share a pic of my little one 'helping' me follow your shine bright class!

Thank you for this warm and kind message, Paula, and for your gift of teaching and healing. I've been a follower of your YouTube channel for about six years now, but I didn't know about your newsletter. How may I sign up to receive it?

I would love a card but I live in the U.S.A. so it would be really expensive to send it. I hope one day to visit Australia and attend one of your in-person classes and receive the card then. Thank you for creating the Ahimsa platform. I am totally enjoying this non-YouTube platform. I admire your calm energy through your writing and these classes. I will turn 64 in October and plan to stay flexible and soft through my practice. I am on left.

Hello there. It is lovely to meet you in this way after years of daily engagement with your great YouTube videos. Your vlog is like your yoga; calm, considered , positive. Really hope this endeavour is successful and goes for a very long time. All the best! Lynne S

How lovely Paula, thank you so much! I have so loved the youtube library but ahimsa is really very much more enjoyable as a 'yogic space'. As you say, the ad free factor is quite a big deal I think, so while you have had to put in the effort of changing platforms, please know it is hugely appreciated. Blessings upon you.

Thanks Paula. It is great to be here and have this platform to connect with you and your yoga teaching. So grateful the you tube algorithms popped your channel into my feed back in 2020.
