Hello and welcome to the site!
I have been teaching for 21 years,
primarily in South Carolina, at the shala I co-founded & formerly co-directed for 19 years called Satsang Yoga Charleston.
I am currently teaching private sessions &
3 public classes/week on Coleman Blvd, alongside birth doula & postpartum support.
My teaching is inclusive of: asanas, stillness, intentional breathing, mantra, rhythm,
sound, philosophy, and assists; stretching, strengthening, singing, and connecting, which all generates a physical and psychological tuning for the body/mind/spirit.
I have had the great honor to have many incredible teachers in my life.
LOKAH SAMASTAH SUKHINO BHAVANTU
JIVAMUKTI YOGA is the lineage/style I teach and has been an integral part of my sadhana.
My teachers Sharon Gannon and David Life co-founded Jivamukti in 1984, which emphasizes sound/music, going to the root, honoring our cosmic nature, truthfulness, and teaching and practicing yoga through compassion for all beings. There are Jivamukti teachers & students all over the who are working to protect and save animals and the environment through diet and activism. Sharon and David- both artists, poets, musicians-contributed greatly to the popularity of yoga in the West, and kept the mystical, physical, and spiritual components in tact.
DR. M.A. JAYASHREE is my Sanskrit teacher who served as a Professor and Head of the Department of Sanskrit at D.Banumaiah’s college in Mysore, Karnataka. She holds a doctorate in Sanskrit from Bangalore University, and has authored many books, monographs and papers in the fields of Sanskrit, Ancient Sciences, Indian History, Indian Culture and Music. She is a Sanskrit scholar, but it is her compassion, spirit, melodious voice and transference of knowledge that is most remarkable.
SHYAMDAS (1953-2013) was my beloved teacher, a devotional practitioner, translator, author, speaker and musician, who brought India's ancient Vedic literature and medieval devotional renaissance to life in the West. An accomplished practitioner-scholar and guide to the 16th century philosopher Vallabhacharya’s Pushtimarga tradition, Shyamdasji published more than 15 books on Bhakti Yoga and the Path of Grace. His overflowing good mood and ability to relate to every individual and situation with bhava (divine, good mood) made him an instant best friend to so many. He lives on in the hearts of many.
