Inner Peace Hatha

I started practising hatha yoga in 1988 while a student at New York University. New York City was a wonderful place to begin my yoga journey as I had access to a wide range of classes and excellent teachers. Throughout my student years I attended classes and courses at various yoga studios: Sivananda, Iyengar and more. During this period I happened to attend a lecture on Ayurveda by Dr. Pratima Raichur and subsequently became insterested in how yoga, Ayurveda and meditation all complement each other. I went on intensive retreats with Dharma Mittra and at the Himalayan Institute. This period of exploration allowed me to see which styles of teaching suited me best. I have always found that you learn something different from every teacher. I returned, time and again, to classes at two places: Dharma Mittra's yoga studio and the Himalayan Institute teachers who then taught out of East West Bookstore (still there - on lower 5th Ave).
