My approach to yoga comes directly from my personal practice. I’ve studied power yoga, ashtanga yoga, and zazen meditation extensively. It is only from this disciplined foundation that I’ve been able to develop many lead classes and a variety of approaches for personal practice. The challenge for yogis today is to unite the evidenced based logical science of medicine with the deep wisdom traditions of yoga. In my own life and practice this comes to full tension within the intersection of clinical and analytical chemistry, analytical psychology, and yoga–specifically neo-ashtanga, ayurveda, tantra, and vedantic yoga.

In addition, my early spiritual mentorship in A Course in Miracles and continued study of Jungian Psychology and Ignatian Spirituality provide an essential grounding in the spontaneously emerging symbols found when probing the fathomless depths of the psyche-soul relationship. For ultimately there is only one Yoga, the union between Self and God.
