Bio
My yoga studies started in 1995 as a way of dealing with crippling back pain. I started studying Iyengar yoga from a book and then directly in 1997 with my first Iyengar teacher, Karin O'Bannon. With her encouragement, I began teaching shortly afterward. Although yoga has helped me deal with manifold physical problems, from advanced degenerative joint and disc diseases, including replacing both hips, yoga has transformed my life beyond the physical. In 2004, I quit my job as a newspaper editor working with reporters and aligned my life with the teaching of yoga. I continue my yoga studies primarily with Manouso Manos.
