Paulina Zamudio

Authorized Level 1 – Sharath Jois Yoga Centre (Mysore) E-RYT 500 Paulina Zamudio was born and raised in Mexico City and moved to Texas in 1998. She discovered yoga in 2004, initially practicing Vinyasa, Hatha, and Bikram yoga, with her early formal studies rooted in Hatha yoga. In 2013, she began practicing Ashtanga yoga and found a deep connection to the discipline and tradition of the method, which soon became her primary practice. She completed her Ashtanga training under the guidance of her teacher, partner, and friend Ana Hollis at Yoga Shala. Paulina has continued her studies through intensives and workshops with respected teachers including Tim Miller, Kino McGregor, Tim Feldman, Eddie Stern, David Swenson, and Taylor Hunt, among others. In 2018, she traveled to India for the first time to study with Sharath Jois, Eddie Stern, and Robert Moses during the Ashtanga Yoga Yatra in Rishikesh. She later returned to India in 2022 to study in Mysore under Sharath Jois, immersing herself in daily Mysore practice, philosophy, chanting, and Sanskrit with Lakshmisha. She returned again in 2023 and 2025, when she received the blessing and authorization to teach. Paulina is deeply grateful for the support of her family—especially her husband, Alex, and her children—who remind her daily that yoga extends far beyond the mat. She feels honored to teach and share this practice with humility, care, and devotion.
