The Pear was founded in 2023 by mother–daughter duo Paula and Rebecca — united by a love of yoga, healing, and guiding others toward their fullest selves. The name plays with the idea of “the pair” — two unique individuals working together — and the pear fruit itself: lush, sweet, and symbolic of abundance, nourishment, and fertility. In many cultures, the pear represents lasting partnership, gentle strength, and the ripening of wisdom over time — qualities we bring into every class, workshop, and retreat.

Paula began her teaching journey in 2013, after a decade of personal practice transformed her focus, courage, and clarity. She is a certified Kundalini and Yin Yoga teacher whose path has led her to explore a variety of styles and healing modalities. For her, teaching is an act of deep connection — helping students find balance, resilience, and self-discovery.

Rebecca first stepped onto the mat at 17 in her mother’s classes, and by 2017, she felt called to share yoga with others. With a background in Kundalini yoga, she has since expanded her practice to include breathwork, sound baths, and other healing practices. Her teaching invites students to feel safe, present, and in tune with both body and spirit.

Together, we bring more than three decades of combined practice and teaching experience to The Pear. Our offerings — from yoga classes to immersive retreats — are spaces where the sweetness of community meets the abundance of self-growth, inviting you to ripen into your own potential.
