INSTRUCTORS' BIOGRAPHIES

Shan Ambika, M.A., specializes in adapting yoga to students' specific needs. Certified at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in San Francisco in 1975, she has studied in India and the U.S. with many senior yoga and meditation instructors of different traditions, including B.K.S. lyengar.

She has been influenced not only by the Iyengar system, but notably by John Friend's Anusara Yoga, Desikachar yoga, and her spiritual teachers Ammachi, Joel Morwood and Advaita teachers, primarily Adyashanti. Shan facilitates body-mind-spiritual health in a unique way with gentleness, personalized care, and humor.

 

Seth Pfeiffer provides an in-depth and playful experience of Anusara yoga. He offers you his personal energetic style and unique life experience, creating a dynamic class where you gain a fresh perspective and personalized attention--all while having fun.

The philosophy, attitude and alignment of Anusara have rapidly gained worldwide attention due to students' profound and often immediate awakenings and deep openings. Seth has traveled extensively to study directly with John Friend, the founder, and his senior teachers. He has 1,500 hours of training in the Anusara tradition.

What attracts Seth to the Anusara style of yoga is the clear, precise and balanced nature of the alignment principles and the unique philosophical foundation that believes life, at it's essence, is simply sweet.
