I have been a longtime member of the Sivananda Ashram family and graduated from their Yoga Teacher Training in 2010. That was the fourth of six Yoga Teacher trainings I have completed.

In 2012 I received my Master’s Degree in Yoga. Since then I have been writing books, teaching, researching, and continuing to study with my professor at Yoga-Samskrutham University. Recently I took a couple of classes at Oxford University, all in pursuit of a PhD.

The challenge question I wrote for this higher title is,

“…to teach people to meditate so that they know that they are.”

This double entendre holds the idea of understanding what the state of meditation feels like through the five bodily senses and also the deepest meaning of the Vedas regarding what we really are as stardust and Divine matter.

A few years back I earned the moniker of, “Mind-Tamer.”

To me it exemplifies the way I teach through joyful experiences and profound tangible understanding of what a quiet, empty mind feels and looks like. This can be daunting to a beginner.

My techniques are easy and quick to give you sensations of peace, love, and understanding!
