Paul is a contemporary spiritual teacher whose passion is guiding people to empower themselves to get in touch with their inner peace and fulfillment. Based on his own experiences he created his techniques to be accessible, pragmatic and verifiable. After half a lifetime in the field of electronics-as university lecturer and design engineer-in 2004 Paul had the opportunity to take a four-month sabbatical from work, during which he was led down a path of personal growth, an experience that utterly changed his life. The study and practice of hatha yoga and meditation led to trainings and certifications in the area of self-development and many years' exploration of meditation, yoga, energy work and therapy techniques. In 2005 he established The Sanctuary of Asclepios in San Jose, California. Drawing from his work with survivors of domestic violence, Paul is passionate about helping people to empower themselves and connect with the beautiful soul inside. Paul has been practicing yoga and teaching meditation for over ten years and is part of the RYT-200 teaching faculty at Mind Body Zone in Fremont, California. He runs Meditation and Self-Awareness workshops and private therapy sessions.
