Paula Newman

Paula, a native Brit, (born in a military hospital), lived on three continents and experienced international settings at a young age – courtesy of her father’s position on the BA Concorde crew.  Her exposure to various cultures and philosophies ignited a voracious curiosity to seek truth within every happening she participated in or witnessed.

After completing her BFA in Acting at Carnegie Mellon University she relocated to Los Angeles where during a life crisis, was introduced to Vedic Meditation.  Her dramatic healing from this technique and curiosity resulted in her studying in India (under Thom Knoles – a forty year meditation veteran, world renown expert of vedic philosophies and wisdom and 20 year student of Mahareshi Mahesh Yogi) the lineage of the Shankaracharya tradition.

Her meditation knowledge and passionate enthusiasm propel her to teach this technique to anyone who has even the slightest curiosity regardless of race, creed, religion or financial circumstance.

Paula holds a California State teaching credential, (taught kids theatre and tutored one on one) and is dedicated to having a kidz room for children when parents learn meditation.
