200 & 300 hour Training for Yoga Instructor
I was introduced to yoga at a young age. My mother practiced yoga in the 70’s, doing headstands in our dining room. Twenty years later, she encouraged me to join her, and I took her up on it.
Over time I found myself intrigued by the practice and was inspired to learn more. Exploring the possibility of completing a teacher training program to deepen my practice and my understanding of yoga, I was drawn to the Himalayan Tradition, with its long history and rich spiritual heritage.
The idea of being able to share with others the peace and serenity I experience in yoga appealed to me. I have gained so much from my training at the Himalayan Center in Palatine; the program, the staff and my fellow students have been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals.
I look forward to sharing with others the joy that yoga has brought me.
Lon is a student and practitioner of Temple Style Tai Chi and Qi Gong for over 25 years. He trained at the Tai Chi Tao Center in Oak Park with Master Waysun Liao and other master and senior teachers in the Midwest.
The benefits from years of regular practice has inspired him to share with those interested in developing chi (prana) flow. The class sessions focus on learning gentle meditative movements that aid in attaining a calm mind, a relaxed, active body and an overall well-being.
To pay the bills, Lon is Development Director for NPN360. He is a graduate of the College of Wooster.
I believe each individual is a gift with strengths to be uncovered and challenges to be explored, and that yoga is the perfect method for discovering them. Practicing yoga feels like I have cracked open my outer shell that was my old way of seeing, feeling and doing things, and that I have stretched beyond my body and found the beautiful treasure inside. I’d like for you/my students to also have a similar ‘Aha’ experience with yoga.
In 2013 I completed teacher training in the Himalayan Tradition at Lotus Yoga Centre. I am a registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 200), and a certified y4c (yoga 4 cancer) teacher since 2015, and am currently enrolled in Himalayan Yoga & Meditation Center’s 300-hour program. Additionally, I apprenticed as a teacher trainer with Anita Maher at Lotus Yoga Centre and now serve as a Trainer at Lotus Yoga Centre. I really love teaching yoga, sharing what I’ve learned, and helping others experience the many benefits of yoga including better balance, focus, flexibility, strength and peace.
