austin yoga
1999-present
ongoing apprenticeship under bekir algan, Ph.D., co-founder austin yoga
teachings are influenced by studies in structural engineering,
iyengar yoga, macrobiotics, ayurveda, continuum, vedanta, aikido,
and the sufi teachings of creating sparks in the hearts of kindred spirits
classical innovative design and use of props to affectively body-sculpt students
in my studies with bekir i continue the journey of opening a well protected heart
internally mapping the routes of my nervous system
honing in on subtle body sensations and maintaing a state of active meditation
my main studies have been supported by the phenomenal works of great yogis
such as patanjali, svatmarama, krisnamacharya, iyengar, jois, scaravelli, desikachar, ghandi
as well as workshops with senior iyengar yoga teachers
gabriella giubilaro, manuso manos, ramanand patel, and patricia walden.
i give thanks to all of my teachers along the way
thank you for inspiring me and helping me get to where i am today.

our lady of guadalupe
the bridge between yesterday and today
has been crossed.
the journey continues
into new places and new surroundings,
yet with familiar faces.
the journey to who we are
is mapped out with experience and adventure,
positive
and not so.
each showing us just a bit more
of who we are,
who we want to be,
and
who we don’t.
i thank you for joining me here,
in this space,
as i begin to exhibit pieces of the world
i have seen,
both within
and
without.
may your journey be filled
with sparks of inspiration
that lead you to follow your own inner light,
so that together we may
illumine the world.
