I began practicing yoga in ‘98. I was searching for something holistic
that would give me relief from the demands of a stressful lifestyle. In
2000 I discovered Ashtanga, the Vinyasa approach began to have quite a
profound effect on my physical and mental wellbeing. I have trained extensively
in Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois. I have had the good
fortune to study with him, and his grandson Sharath.
I am in the process of completing my 500 hour advanced Yoga Alliance teacher
training under the expert guidance of Paul Dallaghan (one of the worlds
leading Certified Ashtanga teachers). This includes instruction of pranayama
and philosophy by one of the few remaining masters in the world today,
O.P. Tiwari who is head of the Kaivalyadham, a yogic research institute
near Bombay, India.
I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to pass on the teachings of
those I have studied with. My deepest respects go to those teachers who
dedicate their lives to the path of yoga and continue to be my daily inspiration
to get on the mat and practice.
