About Me

I have been practicing yoga for 27 years. My favorite teaching has been with adolescents boys in open and closed custody young offender facilities. I have an integrated approach seeing Yama and Niyama as the foundation to life and yoga practice. I believe that the physical practice of yoga; Asana and Pranayama; includes that Yamas, Niyamas, Pratyahara, Dharana, and Dhyana. That we learn an grow within each of these limbs by connecting and integrating each into our practice. I believe that yoga is about acceptance, compassion, and is without judgment.
I am a fairly big man and have a stiff body. I believe that Yoga is accessible to all and that the only requirement is our presence and a willingness to learn.
I am a wood carver and sculptor.
I have a PhD in Psychology, I worked 31 years as a registered doctoral psychologist.
