Love is the best of the four letter words I know and two practices which have helped take me into the center of love are Yoga and Ayurveda. Please look into the natural happy state of love and cultivate it with your attention, awareness, and possibly through the study of Yoga and Ayurveda.
Yoga and Ayurveda are two practices to help us maintain a union of body, mind, and spirit. This union erases stress and fatigue and gives an experience of freedom and rejuvenation.
I have been formally practicing Yoga since 1984 when I was 20 years of age in NYC. I met David Life and Sharon Gannon in a small bohemian style yoga class on Avenue A in the east village. Our teacher Tara Rose would sing to us in corpse pose and it was heaven on Avenue A. My early principal teachers were Sharon, David, Ruth Lauer, Kevin Gardner, Eddie Stern, and Richard Freeman. They have urged me to deepen my experiences with the practices of Yoga and I have found my heart in the Ashtanga Yoga lineage.
In 1998 I met Dr. Vasant Lad in a medical university in NYC lecturing on Ayurveda. He was so powerful and mixed with great kindness that the winds inside of me, blew me to Albuquerque, New Mexico where I studied with him for two years in his Institute and traveled to India with him.
I have traveled to India 10 times to study with the masters: Robert Moses, Sri K Pattabhi Jois, Master B K S Iyengar, Sharath Ranganswami, Saraswati Jois, Dr. M A JayaShree, Sir Narasimha, Dr. Vasant Lad, and Dr. Anil Kumar. It is by their love, kindness, and wisdom that I am enjoying these practices and passing them onto others.
