I also completed a training session with Therapeutic Approach to qualify as one of the teachers for the teacher certification program. I have had workshops with Kausthub Desikachar, Krishnamacharya's grandson, and Desikachar's son, as well as Desikachar's wife, Menaka and daughter Mekhala. Krishnamacharya was the teacher of many, many students from India and abroad including B.K.S. Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois.

As well, over the last 10 years I have studied with teachers who studied with B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois (ashtanga), as well as teachers from Kripalu and Sivananda. Most of my formal training has been from teachers who have studied with B.K.S. Iyengar or other certified "Iyengar" teachers so if you had to label my style of teaching it would likely be very similar to the Iyengar style of Yoga although I have attended many workshops and retreats in studies of all of the above. All are aspects of Hatha Yoga which comes from Raja Yoga, and one thing I have learned-whether it is called Iyengar, Ashtanga, Kripalu, Kundalini....whatever...the basic philosophy and principals are the same. All are based on the disciplines of the "Yamas" (ethical disciplines towards self and others).
