FINDING MY WAY

Josh began his studies of the Yoga tradition in 2006 shortly after arriving in San Diego from Boulder, CO. Initially he saw Yoga as a remedy for his many years of injuries from skateboarding, snowboarding and BMX, but his Yoga practice revealed something far greater. For the first time Josh found a language and set of teachings that mirrored the ways in which he was examining the world. This left him with a desire for knowledge and thirst for experience. Not long after, Josh obtained his first Yoga Teacher Certification and began instructing as a full time career.

In 2012, Josh stumbled upon a lineage that would shape the course of his practice and teachings forever. It inaugurated an ongoing and in depth studies with Chase Bossart, a student of T.K.V. Desikachar. This immersion into the healing and therapeutic aspects of Yoga would eventually lead to his first extended stay in India and studies at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai. His trip to India stoked the fire within that continues to keep the passion alive.
