Title: In the Fire of Transformation

Gender: Male

Age: 34

Sun Sign: Aries

Chinese Sign: Wood Rabbit

Location: Santa Monica, CA

About Me:

Mind Unraveling Heart Expansion. My introduction to Yoga came from myfather through the ritual practices of Bhakti Yoga, Vedic chanting andPuja.  I grew up sitting on his lap in the mornings doing the practice.  It wasn't until my teens when the spark for acquiring a deeper understanding into life's metaphysical and spiritual realms led me to Fine Arts in search of creative expression.  I pursued the arts and received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  I carried out a career as a visual artist which led me back to Paris, France for another three years.  Feeling creatively drained and spiritually hungry the practices of Yoga began to manifest in my life once again, in pursuit of something more.  At that point I made the decision to return to Chicago changing career paths and rediscovering my spiritual practice, my sadhana.  
My passion for learning has taken me to India many times studying with several Master Teachers. I have completed my teacher trainings in theHimalayas with Swami Govindananda at the Sivananda Yoga & Vedanta Ashram, Advanced Vinyasa Studies Program with Shiva Rea at Sacred Movement, and several months of study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India as well as Lino Miele in Kovalum, India. 
I am now living, breathing, and learning in Santa Monica, CA  finishing a graduate degree in Ayurvedic Holistic Medicine.  I teach Vinyasa FlowYoga at Exhale Center for Sacred Movement in Venice, CA. I also teach as a faculty lecturer at UCLA in the Dept. of World Arts & Cultures teaching philosophy, culture, and practice of Yoga.

My Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes focus on the cultivation of Prana Shaktithrough breath work and Vinyasa Krama, or sequencing of asanas. They are a dynamic synthesis of solar & lunar energetics providing for a challenging and empowering practice. My intention to seamlessly integrate the sister sciences of Ayurveda and Hatha Yoga provides for a unique class with a holistic approach to the mind, body, and spirit.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga Classes:

•Monday - 7:35~9:00 pm level 2/3
•Wednesday - 7:35~9:00 pm level 2/3
•Saturday - 9:15~10:45 am level 1/2

For more classes check the Exhale online schedule weekly as I sub regularly at the Venice location. www.exhalespa.com

I am the possibility of Transformation. My life has changed in dramatic ways since the days of old, transformation, and the ever changing seems to be the current running through my veins. It is something that I love to share and that's why I do the things I do these days. Practicing yoga, holistic health, are the root of my soul. Would you like to journey with me?  It seems like every time I seem to have gotten comfortable, a chrysalis forms, and the metamorphosis takes place, changes, changing, the ever constant, more like evolution of myself, and integration taking place. Flying forward into the present. This is 100% about creation, being in the moment, and shifting with the flow, being in the flow. Make sense? Chaos theory, the butterfly effect, synergy, synchronicity, sensitivity, ecology, and adaptivity. A chameleon of sorts.  Aries, Sagittarius Moon, Virgo Rising in the Western charts; Pisces, Scorpio Moon, and Leo Rising in the Vedic charts. I love sunsets & rises, the smell of surfboard wax & neoprene, a long savasana, Kerala dreams, sesame oil, and One Love, Blaze Fiyah!!!
