After graduating from Teacher Training at the Stress Management Center of Marin, and further certification at Loyola Marymount University in Yoga Therapy, (YTRx), John's been helping clients with sports-related injuries, asthma, stroke, anxiety, post-surgery complications and technology-induced stress.

He is a Certified Yoga Therapist C-IAYT, Yoga Teacher and Qi Gong teacher with many years experience as a competitive athlete, martial artist and surfer. John currently teaches at the Stress Management Center of Marin, The Bay Club (Corte Madera) Kaiser and at Bon Air Cottage Foundation — a long-term residential care for the chronically mentally ill.

John also brings a unique perspective on how to maintain balance in the fast-paced corporate world; having owned a digital media company. In this age of constant connectivity his "Digital Detox" protocol helps clients "take the foot off the accelerator" and create a more mindful, balanced life.

John draws on his knowledge from personal experiences with stress management and navigating the age of constant connectivity, carpal tunnel, asthma, cancer and respiratory conditions, lower back problems, and knee and shoulder injuries.

Combining ancient yogic principles, western medical knowledge, and healing martial arts practices, John helps clients with:

• Spinal injuries
• Focus and awareness
• Musculoskeletal imbalances
• Increasing range-of-motion
• Flexibility and strength
• Shallow or strained breathing
• Stress management and longevity
• Creating a mindful and balanced life

It takes time for the mind and body to understand and to feel the psychological and moral dimensions of a situation. The more distracted we become, the less able we are to experience the subtlest, most distinctively human forms of empathy, compassion, and other emotions. We need to allow for adequate time and reflection.

So whether it's help recovering from an injury, maintaining an optimum lifestyle as we age, or learning how to "hit the pause button", John can help you get back to doing what you love.
