My practice with the art of awareness, alignment and intent began in the early 1980s with Transcendental Meditation. I came to Los Angeles to study with Zen Master Rama in 1985, whose teachings of Zen Buddhism brought me to a very disciplined sitting practice and serious study. In 1994 my Ashtanga Yoga practice began in earnest with Maty Ezraty of Yoga Works in Santa Monica. My strong desire to expand the limits of consciousness, intent and the flow of energy brought an introduction to author and shaman Carlos Castaneda with whom I studied for a year. The documentary Carlos Castaneda: Enigma of a Sorcerer which I helped to produce was released in 2003.

My teacher training began in 2001 with Yin Yoga teacher Paul Grilley. I continued my studies with Erich Schiffmann at Sacred Movement Yoga (Exhale). Erich's greatest lesson for me was to "pause" throughout my practice, process the experiences and go with the flow of the energy available.

My Hatha Flow is a spirited, musical and fun class that stirs, warms, moves, builds, stores, exerts, aligns and strengthens the ENERGY of the meridians and chakras.

I have been a student of Yoga since 1991, and a teacher since 2002. My original motivation for teaching was to get my friends to do Yoga with me. Since then, the power of Yoga to bring conscious communities together continues to delight me.

My practice is deeply inspired by the Tantric philosophy of embodiment as a divine gift, to be explored with playfulness and reverence. I constantly ask myself what Yoga and spiritual practice are all about, and the answers are always evolving.

My Yoga training background is primarily Kundalini and Anusara, although I draw from many different traditions. I currently study acupuncture and Chinese medicine at Emperor's College in Santa Monica.

Phil founded Naked Yoga Los Angeles in July 2003. After intensive Google and Yahoo searching, he realized that the only way he could attend a Naked Yoga class in Los Angeles was to start one himself. Phil began practicing yoga in 1985. The eclectic style of his classes comes from his original background in the Iyengar method mixed with his more recent studies of Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Anusara and Kundalini Yoga.

I have trained in both Hatha and Kundalini Yoga at Karuna Yoga in Los Angeles. I also have an extensive background in religion and philosophy.

I have studied everything from Catholicism to Wicca in search of the truth—my truth. Sometimes I find my truth in a deep suspended exhale in Savasana, letting go of all I know, waiting to breathe in new information and life. Other times my truth is in a dark chocolate candy bar or truffle. My greatest thrill as a Yoga teacher is facilitating each student's quest for his own truth.

And for those of you curious, (we know you'll ask) my tattoo reflects the three Scorpionic Principles in Life: Strength. Discovery. Transformation.

Nature loving, country dancing, nudist Yorron discovered Yoga through meditation and found it to be a vital component for his journey towards being unconditionally loving and accepting of self, others and "what is." He began practicing Anusara Yoga in 2001 in Rochester, NY. Upon moving to Los Angeles in 2005 he expanded his practice to include Qi and Tantra Yoga. "For me Yoga is a way of life," he says. "Every Asana is a life lesson moving me forward to a harmonious, peaceful, joyous, and balanced existence."

After almost a year of traveling around the globe, Yorron is excited to return to Naked Yoga, where he hopes to share with you the many new things he has learned in his nomad Yoga practice.
