| Introduction | NAMASTE! I am an alumnus of the Universities of Florida and Denver. I have been practicing yoga almost 9 years now, primarily in power/vinyasa and Ashtanga. I am a graduate of the Yoga Den's 200-hour certification program in Mind-Body and Sun Power styles of yoga. I am the owner of Little Bird Yoga, where I also teach regularly to group classes and private clients, a laboratory manager, and the yoga therapist at a private hospital. I love to cook, especially French and Asian foods. I firmly believe cheese and mayonaisse are among man's greatest inventions, somewhere in the same ballpark as movable type, indoor plumbing, and rock and roll. |
| Interests | I love to cook, go to concerts, watch the Gators and Jaguars, stand-up comedy, and travel---especially New York, my home away from home. Yoga, ayurveda, meditation, philosophy, anthropology, science, music, all things food, agriculture, restaurants, chefs, etc., horse riding and racing, blissful ignorance of all matters concerning celebrities and politicians. |
| Favorite movies | Wonder Boys, When Harry Met Sally, Munich, Annie Hall, Almost Famous, Best in Show, Reality Bites, Zoolander, Traffic. I love (smart) comedies and horror films. |
| Favorite music | This goes to show my age, but grunge was just the best music revolution in recent history. Pop punk and angry-teenage-boy-metal is wretched. New wave/progressive is a close second, and anti-establishment 60s/70s rock of the Woodstock persuasion is also high up there. Pearl Jam, Gomez, Fiona Apple, Pete Yorn, Radiohead, White Stripes, U2, Foo Fighters, Prince, the Raconteurs, Remy Zero, lounge, bhangra, intelligent hip hop, gangsta rap, ambience & electronica. Favorite song of all time: "PYT" by Michael Jackson ("He made Thriller, man. Thriller."--said who?) It requires one to drop everything and dance. Heavily sampled in Kanye's latest, "Good Life." I am loving and hating that. |
| Favorite books | All F. Scott Fitzgerald, Graham Greene, Kurt Vonnegut, Dave Eggers, Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, & Douglas Coupland. Works by Drs. Jared Diamond, Marion Nestle, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould, and Vandana Shiva. Yoga Body, Buddha Mind by Cindy Lee, Light on Life by B.K.S. Iyengar, Moving Towards Balance by Rodney Yee, Journey Into Power by Baron Baptiste. |
