Background:
Jim grew up in Boston, MA. He began skating and playing hockey at 2 years old. His love of running and then cycling continued to build and helped to create health. His yoga practice developed when he moved to a small island off the coast of Massachusetts. It was there that he began asana and pranayama (never having heard of yoga) and completely understood the relationship of inhale to lengthen and exhale to deepen stretches. This mastery led him to seek a teacher after hearing he was doing yoga from a friend. In 1999 Jim moved across the country to attend Arizona State University. His studies of Biomechanics were in line with his understanding of yoga practice and honede through movement diet and mindfulness we eliminate the effects of our minds and bodies breaking down.
