After years of weightlifting — and enduring the tight shoulders, back pain and machismo that resulted — I was cornered, flogged and dragged by a friend to my first yoga class with the incomparable Maureen McGuire of Yale University. It was the most challenging thing I had ever done; yet, for the first time in my life, I experienced a sense of presence and ease. I floated out of that class a new man and never looked back. Ten years, three mats and thousands of downward-facing dogs later, I felt it was time to share my love of yoga with you (yes, YOU) and became a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) through Black Dog Yoga in Los Angeles, California where I taught for four years. I am absolutely thrilled to have landed in the Great City of Austin, amongst some of the kindest, most genuine and creative people I have ever encountered and am honored to be able to share this practice with you. Can’t wait to see you on the mat where I’ll take you on a meditative journey, synchronizing your breath with the movement of your body and giving you a vacation away from your thinking mind. Atha yoga anushasanam!
