Study with me

Practicing since 1989, teaching since 2001. I started practicing meditation and yoga in the mid/late 1980s as part of my recovery from a car accident which snapped my femur in half. My practice & teaching focus on cultivating awareness, growing our ability to feel and observe.

Credentials

Bio

William offers a safe, non-judgmental space to do the “brave, fierce and noble work of being with your feelings and your body.” His encouraging teaching style invites you deep into self-exploration and self-agency, embodying the philosophy of “breathe and feel what you can in this moment.”

As a teacher, he aims to help students be curious about their body as a gateway to wholeness, growth and embodiment. William believes that “we are all capable of living a life ‘Fully Alive’ that manifests our highest potentials – getting there will just look different for Every Body.”

His classes include breathwork, asana, and developmental movement patterns to cultivate interoception, better joint movements, and a natural, meditative state of being.

Beginning in 1989, William has explored hatha yoga with pranayama & meditation as body prayer. After completing his first certifications, he started teaching yoga full-time in 2001, and offering Thai massage in 2002. He has since gone on to train in Structural Integration (Rolf Method) and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. He is a licensed massage therapist (LMT) in Georgia, USA and teaches weekly online yoga classes from his home in Decatur, GA.

Highlights of his 24+ year movement career include owning a successful yoga studio for 9 years in Atlanta, GA, training over 200 yoga teachers, and teaching well over 20,000 hours of yoga classes when he stopped counting in 2020.

Since 2020, William has taught yoga classes, mentoring, & privates online. He continues to offer masked, in-person sessions for Thai Massage, Structural Integration, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Yoga & Movement Therapy, and Breathing Practices at his home in Decatur, GA.
