Paul Solhaven, MS, RYT, PES, CPT

Paul has been a full-time movement coach for over 20 years while obsessively pursuing mastery in the application, integration, and teaching of a multi-disciplinary physical practice built on first principles.

He began his career as an academic / intellectual who lived far more in his mind than his body, but was never satisfied with the answers he was taught… So for many years, he went down the rabbit hole in search of more profound and effective ways to develop himself and his students. This included the intense study and practice of strength training, mobility, pain and injury rehab, yoga, meditation, primal and somatic movement, nutrition, and much more.

In 2011, he opened his own training facility in Dallas, but 6 years later he let go of his then-thriving business due to bizarre and transformative experiences in his meditation and movement practice. He knew that these experiences had the potential to change his practice, his teaching methods, and his life — but to explore them required total immersion.

He spent the next 2 years living as a nomad while he alternated between practicing his craft in the solitude of nature (including 7 straight months of living in forests) with spending time teaching serious students and other teachers / trainers in Los Angeles, CA and Boulder, CO.

Ready to return to living in one place, he spent seven years teaching from a studio he built in Phoenix before settling in Boise. With students increasingly spread across the country, he has spent the last few years dialing in the most efficient possible way to provide world-class training in a format that fits into people's lives.
