He is also the founder of now closed Ahimsa Yoga, which offers a holistic approach for empowering students to experience superior health and happiness while honoring the sacred ancient yogic traditions.
Ahimsa, meaning non-violent or non-harming in Sanskrit, is based upon the principle that yoga is safe and inclusive for all students. This style of yoga was designed to unite the yogic traditions with the modern understanding of yoga.
