Eight years ago, I walked into my first Bikram Yoga class carrying more than just 70 extra pounds—I was also living with severe psoriasis, chronic sciatic nerve pain, and the constant weight of stress, anxiety, and depression. My body felt broken, and my spirit wasn’t far behind.

 

Within that first year of practicing, everything changed. I lost 70 pounds, my skin healed, and the pain that once ruled my life disappeared. Most importantly, I felt renewed—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Bikram Yoga gave me a new life.

 

I went on to complete my Bikram Yoga teacher training, graduating as valedictorian of my class. Since then, I have dedicated my life to this practice, not only as a teacher but as a lifelong student of growth and transformation.

 

My Beautiful Wife of 25 years and I recently welcomed twin baby girls to join our 3-year-old son, and we are also proud parents of two amazing adult daughters. Together, we’ve moved from California to make this beautiful community our full-time home. When I’m not in the hot room, you can usually find me out on the waves—surfing is my second passion and another way I stay connected to nature, balance, and presence.

 

With the support of my family, my passion for Bikram Yoga has only deepened, and I am honored to share this practice here full-time.

 

When you step into the hot room with me, know that you are capable of change. I am here to support you on your journey to a healthier, happier, and more awakened version of yourself.
