A break from GOALS.
Sometimes the best way to support your goals is to step back and upgrade the operating system.

Paul’s approach is so unique. You can tell he truly walks the path. He is highly intuitive and is going to allow you to go as far as you possibly can with his assistance. He is a great demonstration of what the daily work will get you! I always leave feeling so grounded and strong. Paul showed me movements and strength I had no idea my body could endure. Highly highly recommend Paul to take your mind body and soul to new heights!

I could write endlessly about how happy I am about my experience, and how professional and warm Paul is in his work, but I’ll leave it as this: My expectations were exceeded by an unfathomable amount and I am endlessly grateful to have found Paul randomly on Instagram, where I was simply inspired to build my core and learn to do a handstand. Releasing the pain of old injuries is literally life-changing.

Paul has an incredible understanding of the body and its connection to the mind. He maintains a wonderful sense of play and encourages creativity and fun within the discipline of practice. He is highly educated in traditional ways and also thinks and practices outside of the box. He really helped me loosen up and access more confidence, poise, strength, agility, flexibility and mindfulness.
Meet the teacher
Paul Williamson, MS, RYT, CPT
Aside from his academic background — Masters in Exercise Science, multiple training and yoga certifications, etc — Paul is truly a lover of all things movement and has been teaching an integrated approach to practice for 15 years.
His vision is to help people of all ages reconnect to their childlike love of play. It’s possible to deeply pursue physical development without sucking the joy out of it. Besides, he’s seen time and time again that people tend to play harder than they work anyway.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Q: Will this class be awkward for me if I’m introverted?
Not at all! Part of the vision for this class is sharing deep human interaction through MOVEMENT… i.e. no small talk! This is NOT a free-for-all or mixer, it is a structured class that happens to be intuitive and playful.
Q: Should I bring my own partner for the games?
That’s up to you, but you certainly don’t need to. I love when we end up with an odd # of students in class because that means I get to participate in the partner work myself! You can either come connect to new humans or bring one or more of your own favorite humans to deepen your connection with. It’s beautiful to see people connecting with their partner, having a blast with friends, or even bonding with their children.
Q: Do I need to be fit to join?
Nope! This class is fun, accessible, and challenging to ALL levels of physical ability. It’s one of the few environments where a sedentary person can practice along side an elite athlete and not feel self conscious.
“I really regret moving my body and having so much fun in that class.”
