Paul, co-owner of An Seomra Yoga did his first yoga class in Seattle in 1994. He had previously studied and practiced martial arts and represented Ireland internationally in all style Karate but then shifted his focus to yoga after being introduced to it by Katrina. He continued his practice of yoga in Los Angeles in a variety of styles having fun with teachers Steve Ross and Kathryn Budig, eventually leading to his teacher training with Yogaworks in Santa Monica under the guidance of Malachi Melville, Birgitte Kristen, Anne Van Valkenburg and Colleen Garrity.

Yogaworks is a school of yoga inspired by the classical Ashtanga, Iyengar and Viniyoga schools, all in the lineage of Krishnamacharya complemented by Alan Finger's deep knowledge of meditation and the subtle body. Paul's teaching style is influenced by the Yogaworks system along with the intuitive teachings of Erich Schiffman and Chad Hamrin and the dynamic movement of Jamie Elmer and Robyn Ann Schumacher.

He has expanded his interests to Thai Yoga Massage (commonly called lazy man's yoga),  introduced to him by Saul David Raye and has continued his studies with Krishnataki. He is a certified Thai Yoga Massage therapist.

His classes tend to be strong and energetic with a Qi Gong influence, and always with a light hearted approach.
