James Kigar, a teacher with over 20 years of experience, initially started with the Ashtanga practice back in the 80’s. Years later he began teaching a hybrid form of this practice to allow for safe access to its benefits. Over the years, both his practice and teaching has evolved to include mindfulness and meditation practices. His current intention of both his teaching and personal practice is to promote a deeper understanding of the physical in order to support more subtle movements towards inner stillness and peace. James’ hands on approach to teaching allows for the student to align properly and connect to the practice on a deeper level.
