George Scherer

Teacher in Monrovia, California

BIO: George took his first Yoga class with Kate Garland in 2004 on a dare. He found that a breath-centered approach to Yoga practice had amazing physical and psychological benefits, and has been an enthusiastic practitioner of Yoga ever since. In addition to a consistent personal practice for over ten years, George completed a two-year, 500-hour Yoga teacher training program with Kate's teacher, Robert Birnberg. He continues to be an ongoing student of the Yoga Sutras with Robert Birnberg.

YOGA: George teaches in a Yoga lineage that regards Yoga as a comprehensive self-care system that provides a complete set of tools for physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation. In addition to the familiar physical postures of Yoga, this lineage uses all of the tools of Yoga, such as chanting, meditation, positive visualization and life skills coaching. Contact George for information on group and private instruction.

WHO CAN PRACTICE YOGA? This Yoga lineage adapts the practice to fit the individual, rather than trying to force the individual into a standardized practice. Anyone who can breathe can enjoy the benefits of a Yoga practice!
