It has only been in the past few years that I was bitten by the yoga bug. It happened here at Yoga Pearl with my first Power Vinyasa class. I'd dabbled here and there in yoga, but hadn’t quite found the right practice. Since then, I quit my social service job of 10 years and decided to become a teacher. My primary training has been with Baron Baptiste completing Level 1 last October and most recently finishing Level 2. In addition, I have attended numerous weekend intensive trainings with teachers such as Baron, Paul Grilley, Lisa Black and Bryan Kest.

Yoga inspires me to be a better person, father and partner. It spills out into all areas of my life including a strengthening of my athletic ability. Power Vinyasa has a great physical component that challenges your body as well as restorative component that brings a sense of even-mindedness to ones being. Through teaching I am excited to bring this to my students. It is also my hope to contribute to a greater sense of community here at Yoga Pearl that reaches beyond our immediate neighborhood.
