CURRENT MISSION

Share the bliss of meditation and help make the world a happier and healthier place

ABOUT ME

I have been a yoga monk all my adult life. I was born in Canada but grew up in USA, Japan and Australia. I teach yoga, meditation and alternative economy and have travelled and taught in Asia, Russia, the middle east, Australia and Europe. My path is called Ananda Marga. We have a beautiful yoga centre in Copenhagen and a retreat centre in the countryside where we run workshops on spiritual lifestyle, permaculture and ecovillage design.
