John
Growing up rock climbing, John was shaped by spending time challenging himself on the rocks and spending time in nature. Frustrated by the inconsistencies in life and a modern world consumed by materialism, he knew there had to be something more to life. Thus, his spiritual search began with a simple inner inquiry into his own nature. Slowly, he became introduced to meditation through the tradition of Zen, and shortly after found yoga. Yoga offered a way to simultaneously work with the mind and body to connect to the spirit, proving an efficacious path to develop deeper states of peace and equilibrium. In particular, he was attracted by Asthanga yoga’s challenging and meditative flow of asanas. However, despite his appreciation for Ashtanga, John was still seeking something deeper. In December 2007, just after finishing college, John found himself on a plane to mystical India. Here his life transformed more than ever as the magic and spirituality of India taught him lesson after lesson. After spending time studying in different areas of India and meeting several gurus and other yoga systems, the Agama school offered something more comprehensive. With its inclusive style of teaching, from philosophy to purification to energy work, he’d found a school that stood out from the rest.
For John, yoga is a holistic path of self-inquiry, giving personal insight into the energy of the body, deeper and more peaceful states of mind, and a greater understanding of human evolution. Not only is his yoga for gaining strength and deepening relaxation, but for understanding his being and its integral position in the universe. He has a deep passion to share this knowledge with others on our collective path towards spiritual awakening.
Passionate about this path, having experienced firsthand the transformational powers of yoga practice, John is devoted to spreading knowledge of yoga to all those who are walking the same path towards evolution.
