Our Teacher



Since Kelly and I were beginners, we were lucky enough to basically have our own teacher. Neil was awesome! I am so happy that he was our teacher, because sometimes Ashtanga teachers and practitioners are very achievement-oriented. That is my one big gripe with ashtanga yoga...I feel that yoga is one thing in my life which should most definitely NOT be achievement-oriented.

Neil helped us alot in our postures, but was also very open to answeting any questions we had about yoga. He has lead an interesting life. He has travelled all over India and had a yoga studio in Beijing before moving to Thailand. We were sad to leave him!
