Alive and well in Portland, Oregon, I practice and teach yoga and meditation. My main focus is people in recovery from addictions. Read my book, the 12-Step Buddhist (Atria/Beyond Words 2009) - available on Kindle and from most booksellers. See the 12stepbuddhist.com for articles, podcasts and the local calendar of groups and events. Trained as a Certified Yoga Teacher through Core Power Yoga, I teach Power Yoga at CRUNCH and 24 Hour Fitness as well as corporations and private lessons. My style is intense and motivational. Here is my teaching schedule. Come take a class!

My philosophy on life is to live with Presence. I try to learn from everyone. My job in life is to grow as a person and member of the larger community - then share what I learn. My specialty is integrating ancient knowledge in the modern world in ways that work for our busy modern lives. I'm open to all styles and traditions applicable to problems in the here and now. Some tools that I use to help myself and others:

  • Zen and Tibetan Buddhism
  • Tantrism
  • Hatha Yoga and Tibetan Yantra Yoga
  • Shamanism (Peruvian Munay Ki)
  • Reiki
  • Psychics
  • Psychologists
  • 12-Steps
  • Nutrition

The past year for me has brought significant change. I'm using the above mentioned tools to help me move in to a new level of self-awareness. Watch, look and listen to some of my daily experiences with nutrition, yoga, living and loving at the Tumblr blog: It's How I'm Living.
