for 12 years. In 1988 he read "Theories of the Chakras" by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama, Paul and his
wife Suzee have been active students of Dr. Motoyama ever since.
Paul started his studies of anatomy with Dr. Garry Parker in 1979. He continued his studies at

UCLA where he took courses in anatomy and kinesiology. He earned an M.A. from St. John's College, Santa Fe in the summer of 2000 and an Honorary Ph.D. in 2005 from the California Institute for

Human Science for his efforts to clarify the latest theories on fascia and its relevance to the practice of hatha yoga.
