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, driven by stress from a high-powered restaurant career and an injury sustained while 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 three semesters and is a Level II Iyengar instructor, as well as an IAYT and 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.
