Biography
CYT, RYT in Hatha Yoga
Richard found yoga in 2011 (or did yoga find him?) at the age of 59, after losing 60 pounds and struggling with various exercise routines at a health club. Yoga resonated with him immediately and he has practiced ever since. In the Fall of 2012 he entered yoga immersion and teacher training at Focus Yoga Studio in Brookfield, IL, where he was awarded his 200 hour certification in May of 2013. He is dedicated to introducing yoga and bringing more men to this transformative practice, which drew him to Broga. He received his Broga I & II teacher certification in August of 2013. Being an advocate for military veterans, he attended a teacher training for Connected Warriors in 2013 http://connectedwarriors.org , an organization offering free yoga classes to veterans, their dependents, and care givers. He currently teaches at Focus Yoga Studio http://www.focusyogastudio.com.
Richard’s Hatha classes address the strengthening of the mind, body, and spirit through classical principles of alignment and balance and purification. Connectivity to the breath, the body, each other, and the planet through the opening of the heart, is a recurring theme in his Hatha classes. He welcomes all students to practice in a safe and fun environment, set to an eclectic musical mix.
Richard majored in English at the University of Louisville, is an Air Force veteran, and a grandfather.
