I was fortunate to have a mother who started doing yoga shortly after it arrived in this country in the 1960’s. She had read one of the first books on yoga that was available in the United States. I remember her doing ‘stretches’ on the floor in the living room. Fast forward to the 1970’s and I was studying yoga (self-taught) and stayed at that level for many years doing primarily Hatha yoga off and on, until I became a serious student of yoga in 2000. At that time I started attending classes and became devoted to the practice.
For the past 25 years I have been studying and practicing yoga with the intention of integrating yoga into the work I do in psychotherapy. I teach alignment-based yoga in the Iyengar tradition, including the philosophy and meditation as taught by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, as well as my teachers Aadil Palkhivala and Savitri. My belief about yoga is that it is ever evolving in ways that continue to lead me towards a consciousness of my connection with myself, others, and the Universe.
