Maui, Hawaii

We have been fortunate to receive the Yoga Teachings of Patanjali and the ways in which these teachings have been transmitted through T.Krishnamacharya (1888-1989). Yoga Awareness is an umbrella for teachers who study in the Krishnamacharya lineage. It is now our opportunity to share these gifts with you.

Yoko Nagashima
(Tokyo) ~ certified YA teacher
I would like to thank you Ted for such a wonderful and valuable gift. I really appreciate that you are a dedicated teacher for us. I had never thought that I could complete all 3 sessions at the beginning because of my sickness. I am really thankful for divine guidance. I really enjoyed the Sadhana training. I found some changes in me, the way to look at, feel and understand things around me. The tool (yoga) I was given will be so powerful and necessary for the rest of my life. Body and mind we were given are so interesting but also complex. I am sure that the study will never end.
