1997 was a big year for me in discovering many things that tremendously changed my outlook on life. In 1997 I plunged into all things “new age” to include yoga. While all the “new age” experiences have touched my life yoga stuck with me. From 1997 until 2000 I practiced various styles of Hatha Yoga and Kundalini Yoga.

In 2001 while taking a Hatha Yoga teacher training course I discovered the Bihar School of Yoga Books. These books were and still are amazing. I still think these books are some of the best published on yoga. After graduating from Hatha Yoga teacher training I continued to practice various styles of Hatha Yoga and Kundalini Yoga. I also started to venture into Kriya Yoga.

From 2001 to 2003 I either did Ashtanga Yoga as taught by P. Jois, Kundalini Yoga as taught by the later Yogi Bhajan, or Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramahamsa Satyananda Sarasvati. I learned a lot from all these practices, but currently do not practice any of these styles. 2003 was an especially powerful year in that I received my mantra and name initiation into the Shivananda-Satyananada Sarasvati Lineage, which still means a lot to me. I also started to study Vedic Astrology, Vedic Numerology, and Ayurveda. In 2003 I also quit my job to dedicate my life to studying all things Vedic.

In 2004 aside from practicing Hatha Yoga as taught by Paramahamsa Satyananda Sarasvati I started to pick up the pace of my study of Vedic Astrology. I still intensely study Vedic Astrology along with immersions in Yoga, Vedic Numerology and Ayurveda.

I have been having a great time so far!!!
