Paolo Girelli nasce nel 1980.
Si interessa alle discipline orientali fin dal 1996 approfondendo gli aspetti teorici e pratici delle arti marziali, in particolare dell’Aikido e del Tai Chi.
Si avvicina all’Hatha Yoga nel 2002 e la ricerca di uno stile di Yoga più intenso e dinamico, lo portano pochi anni dopo, alla scoperta dell'Ashtanga Vinyasa.
Conseguita nel 2008 la laurea in Scienze Geologiche, abbandona la carriera scientifica per dedicarsi esclusivamente all’insegnamento e pratica dell’Ashtanga, seguendo il teacher training della Prima e Seconda Serie con Manju Pattabhi Jois, figlio di Shri K. Pattabhi Jois.

Nel 2015, durante un ritiro in India con Elena De Martin, ha l'occasione di studiare Meditazione Trascendentale, Chanting e Filosofia dello Yoga con i famosi Maestri Jayashree e Narasimhan da Mysore.
Ha partecipato inoltre a diversi workshops di Bryan Kest, Mark Blanchard (ideatore del True Power Yoga), Christopher Harrison (ideatore dell’Antigravity Yoga) e Jonathan Urla (ideatore dello Yogilates).
Nel 2009 frequenta la famosa scuola canadese "Stott Pilates" a Milano, seguendo i corsi di formazione Matwork, Reformer e Cadillac.
Nel 2012 partecipa al primo corso di formazione di Zen Ring (Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi) a Roma con il suo ideatore: il giapponese Naohiro Maki, diventando uno dei primi istruttori certificati (I e II livello) in Italia.
