My journey has been an ongoing process of self-development, expression and evolution. Born and raised in NYC,  I grew up in Harlem, Greenwich Village and the Lower East side. As culturally diverse as it get's.  As  the great Yogi Mark Whitwell has paraphrased, “ There is nothing but a loving nurturing force”.  That loving force has guided and protected me without fail. Life is not to be figured out, it is to be lived and lived well! For me nothing is more true.

Already as a child I was exposed to the Raja Yoga teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda - a path that pinnacled with my Kriya Yoga Initiation in 1986.  After a long exploration of life and a career as a Chef, Dj and Music Event Producer, I found myself in East Hampton (NY), where I was exposed to the Osho Sanyassins! Inspired by these creative community, I rediscovered my interest in yoga and self-development and traveled to the Osho Center in Pune (India)  1998.  At first for three weeks and later to stay several month to study different healing techniques such as  Diamond Breathwork, Active Meditations, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage,  and Emotional Process Work.

After my studies in India, I felt a calling to go to Thailand, where I ran Practitioner Trainings in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage and practiced  at the healing and detox center 'The Sanctuary' (Koh Phangan). from 2001- 2011  During this time I was invited to share my teachings  and bodywork in Europe. It was in London I met some great Yogis who really introduced me to Hatha Yoga. Mark Whitwell, Howard Napper, Gary Carter and David Sye.  I had the pleasure of working with the last 3 as a therapist in their events and workshops and center’s.   During this time I began to experience great success as a therapist and as a teacher of Ayurvedic Yoga Massage.   I had great luck in London or divine intervention I appeared on The Ruby Wax Show, Terry and Gabby Show and almost a dozen features in local and national magazines and newspapers.  I had the priviledge of working at in Triyoga Primrose Hill and the Life Center Notting Hill Gate as a therapist. 

2007 I cooperated with Lene Hansson, teaching and practicing at her healing center in Copenhagen. A path that was so successful and satisfying that I finally moved to Denmark where I lived for nearly a decade working during the summer in Europe and during the winter in Asia. 

 

 In 2010 while visiting the Sanctuary Resort in Kohphangan,Thailand on a working holiday I met my  teacher and mentor Peter John Clifford of Anahata Yoga who has been one of my primary sources of inspiration and detailed teaching in Hatha Yoga. . During my time in Copenhagen I taught at FitnessDK, WellCome Fitness and began my Yoga School Vibrantly Alive Yoga, leading independent 200-hour trainings in Copenhagen. During my time in Denmark I led 6  200 hour trainings.

​

In  2017 I moved to Vienna. I have taught for several years at YogaKula,  Holmes Place and Currently teach at Retreat Yoga and BodyConcept
