About Gary

Since completing his initial teacher training over a decade ago at Chicago’s highly respected Yogaview studio, Gary has become one of Chicago’s most popular yoga instructors.  His classes, whether in a health club, corporate setting, one-on-one, or virtually on Zoom, combine the best of vinyasa yoga with an emphasis on breath, flowing physical movement, careful attention to alignment, and centering of the mind.

In addition to his initial teacher training, Gary has participated in several week-long intensive yoga retreats and workshops on various areas of yoga and teaching:  meditation; pranayama; and therapeutic physical adjustments. Gary has experience teaching all levels of students from beginners and those with physical limitations to more advanced yogis ready for a more challenging practice.

Off the mat, Gary is a professional actor and singer and has developed special yoga sequences aimed at helping performing artists to become more centered, physically aware, and better prepared for the particular demands of their profession. 

Doga

Gary is also Chicago’s leading expert on “doga,” yoga for you and your dog.  These special classes are offered at various locations throughout Chicago. 

Gary was recently interviewed for Steve Dale’s Pet Blog. You can hear the interview here.
