Trainings and Influences

I did all l my foundational Yoga teacher trainings at Kripalu.

After those initial trainings (200 and 500 Hours), I continued to study with Yoganand Michael Carroll. His Pranakriya Tantric Hatha Yoga style is where I’m most deeply rooted.

But I’ve also enjoyed the Power Yoga styles of Baron Baptiste, Travis Elliot, and Bryan Kest.

I greatly admire the Yin Yoga style of Sarah Powers, Paul Grilley, and Bernie Clark.

But to be honest, my richest source of inspiration now comes from observing and studying the practices of the people in the room--Live or on Zoom. They are endlessly fascinating and richly inspiring, They motivate me to be a better person and a better teacher.
