Paul Collins is a certified iRest Yoga Nidra meditation teacher, training mentor and supervisor. He has worked within the addiction recovery community for over 26 years, drawing on his own experience of using Yoga, meditation and contemplative practices to work with trauma, deepen his connection with a Higher Power, and develop a more compassionate relationship with himself. He has developed a simple programme based on the trauma-sensitive practice of iRest that supports recovery and rehabilitation, and has particular experience working with people in 12-step recovery who are exploring childhood experiences, unhealthy patterns of behaviour and addiction. As a former Royal Marine, Paul also has a particular interest in supporting veterans affected by trauma and PTSD.
