B.K.S. Iyengar was my root teacher and spiritually my father. Swami Sivananda Radha, my spiritual mother. My philosophy or understanding of life is a combination of these two outstanding teachers. I believe working with the body is very important because it does not lie. With the body you have to face reality. Swami Radha taught me the importance of inquiry into my actions, dreams and early experiences. I feel I understand the connections between thought and resulting consequences, so depending on the desires of the student the work can be mainly physical or include deeper psychological aspects.
