Experience, coupled with attention, leads to physical changes in the structure and functioning of the nervous system.

My first Yoga teacher was Ruth Bender, her teacher was Selvarajan Yesudian.

Then came the fabulous Mary Dunn, who was my teacher until she passed, her teacher was B.K.S. Iyengar.

My current teacher is Kofi Busia, his Guru is B.K.S. Iyengar.

We are so blessed to have the beautiful art & science of yoga in our lives.

Namaste'
