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 classes in Ballet, Jazz, Modern Dance.   Performed with The Opera New England, Opera Co. of Boston, Jane Setteducato Dancers, The Yard. Have taught for 4 decades - Ned Williams Dance, NYC,  H.S.  of the Arts Nassau County, The Ross School, East Hampton, NY,  Wellness at David Barton Gym, and  Yoga at many shalas and venues.  In the mid 80's  fellow dancers, & loved ones, 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.
