OUR STYLE
Teaching Methodology
Ulu Yoga places strong emphasis on helping students become confident and capable teachers, not just knowledgeable practitioners.
Students develop teaching skills through:
Alignment-based asana labs exploring the structure of key postures in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga
Functional anatomy to understand the deeper mechanics of movement
Hands-on adjustments and assists to support students safely
Use of props and pose modifications to adapt yoga for different bodies and abilities
Sequencing workshops that teach how to design creative and intelligent Vinyasa classes
Daily teaching practice, gradually building toward teaching full 75-minute classes each week
Through progressive teaching exercises, trainees gain practical experience by leading complete classes and receiving feedback to develop and improve week by week. This approach ensures graduates leave the training with the confidence and skills needed to teach professionally.

OUR NAME
What 'Ulu' means
We originally picked the name Ulu quite randomly, simply because we liked the sound of it. Ulu has no meaning in English, only a pleasing melodic intonation. Ulu is like Aum, an all encompassing universal vibration, an energetic wave, rising and falling. Only later did we learn that Ulu, in fact, means essentially to mix things up and fly around in pursuit of divinity, the magical and mysterious source of life. In Sanskrit, Ulu means owl. Like a wise yogi sitting in still contemplation, the owl is able to see through the darkness of ignorance, and swoop down with perfect accuracy to attain its goals.
We define Ulu as Universal Love and Understanding. Together, by embracing diversity and creativity, we all may experience divine union through yoga.

OUR FOUNDER
Teaching philosophy
In 2007, school founder Eddie Pawlak was a university teacher pursuing graduate studies in international education, and just staring his yoga journey. After 10 years of research and development, he applied his skills and knowledge to create ULU Yoga. Disappointed by the lack of quality in other YTT programs, (“People spend thousands of dollars on a YTT and can’t even teach at the end!”)
Edward designed a more professional, academically grounded system focused on achieving measurable results and fostering genuine growth in wellness and spirituality. Over the following decade of running his own YTT courses, ULU Yoga has earned a near-perfect rating and an outstanding reputation for producing high-quality instructors who are fully prepared to pursue real teaching opportunities after graduation.
