I attended my first yoga class in 1992.  At the time I was training with the US National Rowing Team and was drawn to yoga to improve my flexibility and learn relaxation techniques.  I remember leaving the class in awe; how energized I felt, how everything seemed clearer and brighter.  I have been a student of yoga ever since.  I have studied with some wonderful teachers; Shiva Rae, Seane Corn, Saul David Raye, Baron Baptiste, Priti Robyn Ross, Jairaj Randal Williams, Yoganand Michael Carroll, Bramanand Don Stapleton, David Deida, Alan Lowen, Dan Markowitz.  I have practiced several yoga styles: Hatha, Raja, Kriya, Bhakti, Vinyasana, Bikram, Jivamukti, Ashtanga, Anusara, Kundalini, and Tantric.  I am also studying Buddhism, Sufism and Christianity.

Through my experience and training I have come to know the inherent goodness in all. Yoga is much more than a wonderful way to become physically, mentally and emotionally healthy, it is a path to our self-realization.  We are divine beings; many of us have forgotten this.  Yoga reminds us of our divinity and gives us a path to realizing it.  It is my purpose to share this path with others.

Besides practicing and teaching yoga, I have coached hundreds of competitive athletes, taught a seminar at MIT called “Achieving Peak Performance”, been the Executive Director and President of a non-profit organization, built canoes and houses, consulted to business, and managed a gubernatorial campaign.  I have climbed Mt. Katahdin and walked Knife’s Edge.  I hold undergraduate and graduate degrees from Boston University.  I am an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church.  I received my yoga teacher training and certification from the Kripalu School of Yoga, one of the nation’s leading yoga institutions.  My certification is registered with the Yoga Alliance.

I truly look forward to sharing yoga with you.  It is an amazing and sacred journey; one which opens us to life’s possibilities, its peacefulness and its ever-present, abundant love.

Namaste,
