Jeff studied nutrition in college before attending the Cordon Bleu, and then worked in France for 2 years, and went on to work as a professional chef for 15 years.  He began his exploration and studies of yoga in 1998 as a result of stress from a high-powered restaurant career, and an injury running the New York City marathon.

 

Wanting to shift his focus inward, Jeff enrolled in the BKS Iyengar 3-year teacher training program and has taught yoga since 2007.  He has studied yoga therapeutics with the Iyengar family in Pune, India, for 3 semesters and is currently a Certified Junior level Iyengar instructor, IAYT & AyurYoga therapist.

 

From his yogic studies and culinary background, he developed an interest in Ayurveda and graduated from the California College of Ayurveda as a Clinical Ayurvedic and Panchakarma Specialist.  In addition, he has studied Panchakarma, Marma therapy, and Ayurvedic cooking with Dr. Ladd in New Mexico and India. He is Certified as a Professional Member of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association.  

 

Additionally, Jeff studied herbology with K.P. Khalsa at the International Integrative Educational Institute in the Pacific Northwest and is a registered AHG Herbalist.
