For over 25 years I have been practicing and studying yoga and meditation; sharing my practice for the last 20 years with community groups, corporate, government and local government sectors, secondary schools; and in private one-on-one arrangements in Spain, India and Australia.

 

Living in India for seven years and volunteering for five years in the international township of Auroville had a great influence on my relationship with yoga, proving to be a fruitful means to deepening my experience and understanding of the ancient practice.

 

Always a student of yoga, I continue to practice, study, learn and reflect daily.  I am an old student of AG Mohan and Indra Mohan, whom are both direct disciples of Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and have studied extensively Asana, Pranayama, Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda, the Veda, Vedic Chanting and Vedic Practices; the Upanishads, Yogasutra, Yoga Yajnavalkya, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Bhagavad Gita, Samkhya, Ramayana, Sankara and others. They founded Svastha Yoga, in the tradition of  Sri T Krishnamacharya.

 

​​The Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and Mirra Alfassa, affectionately known as the Mother,  has a great influence on my sadhana. Sri Aurobindo's thought is traced to the Veda, Upanishads, the authentic Tantras, and the high traditions of the Epics.  Mirra Alfassa was a adept in western esoteric occultism.

 

*AG Mohan and Indra Mohan are both direct disciples of Sri T Krishnamacharya and founded the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in honor of Sri Krishnamacharya in 1976 along with ​Krishnamacharya's son TKV Desikachar. Krishnamacharya's other disciples include, BKS Iyengar (founder of Iyengar Yoga), Pattabhi Jois (founder of Ashtanga Yoga), and Indira Devi.
