He leads voice coaching for yoga teachers at:
Paul has taught Bikram Yoga for fifteen years, and has worked as an actor and presenter for twenty-five years. Over the past decade, he has trained yoga teachers (and private clients) to access their vocal power, improving their performance and connection with students/audience/camera. His voice work has developed from experiencing the benefits of bringing his acting training to yoga teaching through an integrated approach. Blending movement with vocal exercises, Paul’s workshops help clients to free their voices, developing power, pitch, clarity and confidence.
The voice is a yoga teacher’s primary point of connection. How we connect is often more important than what we say because the vocal tone provokes a response in each of our student’s nervous systems. Consequently, are we teaching yoga or stress? When we teach do we breathe, pause, and inflect in ways that help our students to gain therapy from their yoga?
Nearly all of us, when we were born, had clear, strong voices. We cried and laughed freely as babies. And then life started! Judgements were made about us (they still are) and, sometimes, we lose our power along the way. Our strength becomes buried. And the buried includes our voice because our voice is an extension of our life. It’s not an entity outside us, it’s within us. Paul’s job is to help you to access your power and clarity when you speak so that you can connect with your students (or audience), giving them your true self and the strength of your love.
”Paul Gerrard is a rare talent and has continuously demonstrated a profound ability to help his students realize lasting transformation. He is kind, brilliant, compassionate, learned, and wise. His work to help teachers discover their authentic voice is unparalleled, and I offer my highest recommendation of him as a yoga teacher, voice coach and human being.
Craig Villani, Director, Raja Yoga Academy. Previously Director of Teaching, Bikram Yoga
