What I teach

I usually teach what has been named Ashtanga Yoga by Pattabhi Jois (and is also known as "Power Yoga"), a demanding posture practice that emphasizes strength, balance, and flexibility.

To those few who are interested, I also teach yoga philosophy, breath control, cleansing techniques, and other aspects of what used to be called Ashtanga Yoga and Hatha Yoga before the recent renaming trends.

Here is an article on advanced yoga practice I wrote a while ago: Systematic Yoga and here is the Spanish translation: Yoga Sistemático.
