Introduction: I tailor each session to the person's needs and focus on alignment to get the most out of the poses and to avoid injury.

I hired John to teach a class of seniors a specific set of poses so they could perform the routine on their own afterwards and theoretically improve their bone density (Lu, Yi-Hsueh, et al. “Twelve-Minute Daily Yoga Regimen Reverses Osteoporotic Bone Loss.” Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation 00 (2015): 1-7. DOI: 10.1097/TGR.0000000000000085). What a pathetic group we turned out to be! Two people are doing the entire class from a chair, a couple are morbidly obese, and a couple are still recovering from knee surgery. One man hasn't exercised in 20 years. John is unperturbed; he quietly adjusts to everyone's needs and limitations but structures the class so that those new to yoga begin to learn to listen to their body. He pays a lot of attention to breathing and will quietly and unobtrusively correct a person's pose if need be. Everyone loves the class, feels good afterwards, and looks forward to the next week. And we are learning the 10 poses!

I had my first session with John last week, and I absolutely loved it. Have already scheduled a bunch more sessions for myself, my husband, and for my parents. I never thought I would sweat while doing yoga!

John is an amazing teacher! Incredibly patient and nonjudgmental, yet also enabling me to challenge myself and work at my edge. Not only does he lead me through an intense and rewarding physical practice, he also addresses the mind and the breath (reducing stress/anxiety). He is always on time, and always gives above and beyond!

My wife and I started with private lessons and even though we had very different needs, John managed to help both of us perfectly. He is very knowledgable and above all extremely kind and funny. If I could, I would have a lesson with him every day!!
