Wayne Paul
FOUNDER OF ZEN GORILLAS
Wayne Paul is a movement educator, holistic coach, and creative, dedicated to exploring the balance between structure and freedom, primal and mindful living.
From a childhood filled with play, exploration, and sport, his journey evolved into a lifelong study of movement, self-mastery, and creative expression. His work integrates calisthenics and strength training, kettlebell flow, a fusion of combat and yoga mobility , breath-work, and movement culture, with a focus on longevity, adaptability, and personal sovereignty.
Certified in Holistic Lifestyle Coaching (CHEK Institute), Budokon Mobility (Mixed Movement Arts), Primal Moves, and Personal Training, Wayne has trained with renowned movement pioneers and methods including Ido Portal, Paul Chek, Cameron Shayne, and Nick Brewer, blending ancestral wisdom with modern movement intelligence.
As the founder of Zen Gorillas, Wayne has played a key role in bringing world-class movement educators to Iceland, including Fighting Monkey and Feldenkrais Method teachers, expanding access to diverse training methodologies. His vision is to create a holistic physical, digital, and collective space where people explore movement, nourishment, recovery, and creative expression as essential tools for personal growth and human wholeness.
Zen Gorillas is more than a training method—it is a lifestyle and a growing movement. A space for misfits, seekers, and those who refuse to conform—who instead choose to move, live, and express freely.
