• anatomy

  I have taught Yoga Exercise for over 19 years. Yoga teaches one to use one's Anatomy very carefully so one is flexible, strong, supple, agile, co-ordinated, has excellent balance,stamina and mainly Peace-Of-Mind through relaxed breathing, in what Dr. Herbert Benson MD called "The Relaxation Response" I have practiced Hatha Yoga for over 30 years and have owned and run yoga centers in San Francisco Bay Area, mid-peninsula for over 19 years. In fact my website home page still shows my Burlingame, CA. Address though now I reside and stay in Fresno and teach at Perfect Balance Yoga, close-by at Fresno and Shaw Streets. One has to be familiar with the Human Anatomy/Kinesiology in order to teach yoga. I also have been into Body-building and encourage thorough Warm-Up procedures before any kind of Sports or Exercise activity. I invite WyZant personnel to come take a yoga class for free from me at Perfect Balance Yoga and meet and talk with me.Thank you and Namaste

• bodybuilding

  Besides my yoga, I am a health enthusiast. Jack LaLanne is my inspiration. I have been a gym rat most of my life and know a lot about Exercise Physiology, much like Denise Austen on TV. Doing Thai Yoga Bodywork Therapy for many(having yoga done to you, or "The Lazyman's yoga) has helped foment a relaxed attitude to Weight Training, body building and using Cross Training principles, because weight training alone (or doing Yoga alone) and not watching what you put into your body via plant based healthy nutrition is useless. So it is not only Exercise, but Proper Exercise plus proper healthy eating.I recently gave a lecture at Perfect Balance on Raw Living foods.

• ear training

  When I was a young boy, I won the Mathews Medal for Violin playing and ear intonation and performed Bachs Gavotte in G minor, and guess what I can still play this with with perfect Ear Intonation. This should speak volumes. I am searching for my Report card which I have saved somewhere my Trinity College of London report on Ear Training. I use simple rounds singing and chanting styles both from Yoga and Western Music literature.

• flute

  I play the western flute but I still will have to re-practice so I can be equipped to teach it. It is not hard to learn but takes dedicated practice in order to excel. I know with my extensive Musical training and yogic breathing techniques I could easily teach Flute and flute methods. I have all the literature and know where to go to procure the sheet music. Across Manchester Mall, (Shields and Blackstone) there is an excellent fully equipped music store, and thats where I would send my music students. I have lived in Fresno,barely 5 months.

• general music

  I use a very creative style of imparting music skills to students, using ear training through participant/Observer skills of students interacting with creative skills of my expertise teaching (Rounds, ear training exercises, Yogic breathing techniques, laughter therapy, the Relaxation response and then some)

• physiology

  Physiology ties in with my strong Yoga teaching background and it would be impossible to teach yoga, or for that matter any sport/exercise system without a knowledge of exercise physiology. Please refer to my other descriptions. Thank you

• voice (music)

  I have loved singing ever since I was in Calcutta India and came to the US to be an opera singer, I mistakenly took my voice coaches suggestion to switch majors to Music Ed and 2 out of the 5 years at the American Conservatory of Music, I was a voice major, I went on to get my Bachelors of Music Ed from this school,the Oldest Music School in America, established in 1896 and now relocated from Chicago to Hammond, Indiana. I teach using Round singing, to encourage participation, and train the ear, use Pavarotti like vocalizes (vocal exercises) to make vocal cords loose and relax and teach Yoga breathing methods to bring a freshness to the voice and keep it open, vibrant, velvety and smooth. Much like the vocal techniques of two of the greatest Tenor Opera singers. Jussi Bjoerling and Tita Schipa I use laughter and music therapy to relax my students who are usually very tense due to breathing up in the chest. My years of yoga teaching proper breathing techniques(Pranayama)is invaluable in teaching vocal methods, singing and voice.

• weightlifting

  My Daily Exercise suggestions and encouragements are simple, logical and anatomically practical. Here they are: 1) Do stretching (Yoga) daily. Tight muscles starve the body of blood 2)Do aerobics daily. Your metabolism drops lower and lower, as you get older. This also drops the blood flow in your body. Which starves the body. 3)Do light weightlifting daily. You lose muscle strength and mas you age. weightlifting slow this. 4)Do heavy weightlifting once a week. To your muscle mass up, as you get older. 5)Eat a single-portion of food every 3 hours.an apple, banana, grapes, dates. 6)Be healthy for once and for all.
