Scottander Son

I began studying meditation in 1982 and teaching yoga in 1989. Initially my motives were driven by athletics - I desired a calmer mind to better focus on my high jumping. The guided meditations I listened to on cassette-tape helped enormously, and I went on to have a successful athletic career at The University of Minnesota.

I was drawn to asana similarly. The relentless athletic training took a toll on my body, and I desired something to regain wholeness. Hatha Yoga seemed the logical solution; and for awhile, it was. I delved earnestly into the Iyengar method. It suited my engineering mind beautifully, as the body was dissected into clear-cut angles and lines. For my young-man mind, this was perfect!
