I love studying with Paul Menard and since he has gone "online" I am able to study with him more regularly because I am in Connecticut and Karuna is in Massachusetts. Paul has personalized the online class experience: He has students really hone in on details using the camera to focus on particular angles or body parts; he insists that students approach the screen when necessary, so we can really see what he is demonstrating. Then, when students are active, Paul watches carefully and gives individual adjustments as well as overall direction. I'm amazed at how much the yoga space is maintained even in the middle of my busy household!Kirsten L.

I’ve always felt at home at Karuna and have been impressed with the quality and variety of teaching. Things are a bit different now that most classes are online, but teacher quality is great - I’m amazed Paul can still give good individual guidance on form this way, but he does. Membership value is great with included Zoom workshops and an excellent variety of video’s available at ant time.Melissa W.

Paul does a wonderful job in being attentive to the individual needs/limitations of those in the classes so that each can get the best out of each pose. He is knowledgeable about the likelihood of "failure" and the ways to overcome it. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is extensive and helpful to understand what is needed to achieve poses. The mediations and readings that he contributes are thoughtful and inspiring.Lisa S.

Paul is a phenomenal teacher and has done a really masterful job adapting to the remote format. He is a daily ray of sunshine and the classes are keeping me accountable to my practice while in quarantine!Cecelia F.

I find the teaching technique and philosophy at Karuna unparalleled. The attention to subtle detail, the ability to demonstrate subtle adjustments, and the many modifications suggested to make poses accessible are excellent. In addition, Karuna’s online classes are the only online classes I’ve participated in where the instructor actually attends to the student’s postures and gives active and immediate feedback via Zoom. It feels like so much more of a true learning experience rather than just following a teacher through a series of poses. Paul has created a wonderful community that continues to thrive despite the limitations imposed by the pandemic.Katherine H.
