Well, truthfully, I needed to make a living in a way that would allow me to manage a health crisis I’d experienced as a young man. Not long hours, not stressful, and healthy. Yoga fit the bill and I had been given a gift. There was no “selflessness” involved. That came. But hat’s that’s the truth. Whatever Yoga Muse or Spirit that may exist, well, that continues to “inspire” me, I can take no credit for conjuring it. I am merely a grateful and humbled recipient of its company.

We have fun. Breathing moving, aligning so that the Shakti can come alive and each student can feel good about being alive.
Well- if the climate is temperate and the food is yummy, people relax. Then you can get them to do things they normally wouldn’t. This is where you have to be respectful and helpful so they feel safe to experience themselves in a new way. We get to bring something out that wants to be lived. People leave with a more expanded sense of self.
I truly don’t have one. I like to teach any pose that helps the student connect and understand what it means to be more fully in their body. To feel more “at home.”

Where Nature Abounds. I lived in Hawaii for 8 years. I like that. The less society, cars and buildings, the better.
