John is a certified Anusara Yoga instructor teaching group classes in the Hamptons and seasonally in New York City. He also offers individual instruction and the healing art of Yoga Therapeutics. A student of ha-tha yoga since 1973 with an always growing and an ever more seriously playful devotion to the practices, he has been teaching since 1992. In college John had discovered that the inquiry and the fullest realization of human potential, in all of its facets, was the most powerfully inspiring current in his life. Gradually he came to realize that with yoga he was flowing in that ever deepening and more beautifully loving current. Having first been casually exposed to yoga in 1973, by 1982 a more consistent yoga practice began to develop. He studied with various teachers and styles and eventually began teaching in 1992. Then in 1996 he found his gifted teacher John Friend (who created Anusara Yoga) and then the fun really started. "The more full my exposure and immersion in the many practices of yoga including Ha-tha yoga, meditation, seva and chanting, the richer and more vibrant life is." John is the founder and director of One Ocean Yoga Center in Bridgehampton.
