I am a devoted yoga practitioner and scholar with advanced degrees in Sanskrit and Indian Religions from Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley.
I lecture internationally on the history and practices of Indian Yoga and Tantric Shaivism. Over the last 13 years I have shared empowering teachings with over 10,000 people across the globe. After 9 years of intense research into hundreds of un-published Tantric texts (ca. 800-1908 AD), I have discovered overwhelming evidence that Sūrya Namaskāra and the Āsana-based Vinyāsa practiced by millions today were both fundamental to a pan-Tantric Yoga ritual engaged daily for over 1000 years.
