“Richard’s style is unique, challenging, and graceful. I walk out of his classes feeling invigorated and refreshed in every inch of my body. He explains movements and positions clearly, making even the most difficult moves accessible to beginners with a wide range of modifications that are suitable for every body type and skill level. He is approachable and friendly, and is one of my favorite yoga teachers.“
"The great thing about Richard's style of teaching yoga is that he makes his class a safe place to challenge yourself. His knowledge of yoga and his willingness to give you advice allows you to improve your skills through a deeper understanding of your body. The benefits of this knowledge extend quickly beyond the yoga lesson to everyday life."
"Richard is a wonderful teacher! He makes things accessible to everyone. He has a clear, concise way of explaining not only how to get into the pose but why it's good for you. Everyone from the newbie yogi to yoga instructors can learn something from Richard, I know I did!"
"Practicing with Richard has added tremendously to my health and well being. I began yoga practice as a means of recovering from a serious health challenge. I thought it would be an easy way to regain strength and flexibility before moving on to more vigorous activities. Richard helped me understand that yoga is not a substitute for something better, but indeed is the foundation of a complete physical regimen that can be as intense or as restorative as anyone might want. I have found a challenging workout that is enhanced by the focus, centering and breath work essential to a successful practice. After more than three years, thanks to Richard, yoga has become an integral part of my life; something I look forward to and wouldn’t want to be without."
"Richard's 'Yoga for Runners and Cyclists' workshop was quite different from his usual classes, but it was just as amazing. I hope everyone there took to heart the time he took to spend on the breath work. Not very long ago I was unable to run 3 miles without being completely winded. Because of his explanation of lung capacity at the workshop, I put it together that my increased endurance has come from my increased yoga practice and better utilization of breath. I don't mean to be anti-yoga and brag, but I was able to complete 8 miles in the time I usually complete 7 this morning and it felt great physically and mentally. AWESOME workshop—I look forward to the next one!"
“After working for the past six months with Richard, I can’t imagine my exercise routine without him. He is very patient while teaching, always introducing new moves and poses with an acute attentiveness to my ability. His knowledge and philosophy have allowed me great comfort during what might have been an intimidating introduction. No two routines are the same. He designs each visit to my weekly stresses and after completing our session I feel relaxed and open.
