Your Starting Path

If you’re new to Kula Paradise Academy, we recommend moving through the following pages in order. Each builds the foundation for the next.  

Foundational explanations of the KPA approach, including what we mean by regulation, coherence, and integration and how to engage with practices responsibly.

1. The KPA Approach
   How we work, what we prioritize, and why our methodology is structured the way it is.

2. What Coherence Means
   A grounded explanation of coherence — beyond buzzwords — and why it matters for stability and clarity.

3. The Relaxation Response
   How the nervous system shifts out of threat and into restoration, and why this matters for learning and change.

4. Practice Without Forcing Change
   Why effort alone often backfires, and how sustainable change emerges through attunement rather than pressure.

5. Safety & Scope
   What KPA is — and is not — designed to provide, and how to engage responsibly.

     

Curriculum at Kula Paradise Academy is informed by established research in psychophysiology, emotional regulation, and contemplative practice, including well-known frameworks such as the Relaxation Response and coherence-based models.
