Life begins  with an inhalation, the fundamental breath, a pillar of the yogic practice. Raised in Brooklyn, as a young dancer,  in the early 70s, I  rode the  D train to Ballet- James Waring,  Jazz - Luigi, Modern Dance - Limon Co. Dancers.  Performance: Opera New England, Opera Co. of Boston, Jane Setteducato Dancers, The Yard.  Educator -Dance Ned Williams NYC,  High School of the Arts Nassau County, Dance/Musical Theater Dance -The Ross School, East Hampton, NY,  Fitness/Holistic Health - David Barton Gym.   1980s - my tribe, fellow dancers, & artists, were  dying, from AIDS.  Searching  for an understanding of this tragic time, brought me to yoga, and its ancient philosophy, of  liberating  the light of our beings. I continue to practice, study and teach daily. This is my dharma.
