namaste. The practice of yoga and of natural horsemanship have shown me my path to greater self awareness and a to a happier and more meaningful life. Through my retreats and teacher training programs I have the honor and pleasure to share this first hand experience with others. I hold an E-500-RYT registry with Yoga Alliance as of December 2016. I have been classically trained in India in Chennai with guruji of Andiappan Yoga and in Rishikesh with Master yogi Mahesh with AYM, Association of yoga and meditation. I also had the privilege to study under Sue Ann and Jim Parsons of Let It Go Yoga in Santa Barbara, California. I recently completed a 10 day course in the study of Himalayan yoga and meditation in India. I understand the challenges modern life presents and the dis-ease that sometimes manifests in our own health. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my mid twenties and my yoga practice has helped me greatly to understand myself better and to manage chronic inflammation.
