Guest Teachers
JAYENDRA HANLEY E-RYT500
Jayendra began practicing hatha yoga and meditation a long time ago, and is amazed at how we continue to learn and grow in our practice, teaching, and in all of life. He is from the U.S., and has lived in Europe the last 12 years, where he has taught approximately twenty Immersions and Teacher Trainings in the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Spain, France, and England. He lives in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, where he teaches at Bindi Yoga Studio. Since ASHY got started he has been assisting European teachers through the certification process, and for the last two years, he has served as co-coordinator of the Anusara Curriculum team. The group created an amazing curriculum for new 300-Hour Advanced Teacher Training. Since Anusara began in 1997, he has been studying the core elements of Anusara methodology, and it’s a pleasure to take that knowledge to the next level through the ATT. Also, as a student of Paul Mueller-Ortega’s Shaiva Tantra and Neelakantha Meditation, he really enjoy sharing the practice of meditation and the whole spectrum of yoga philosophy.
Jayendra will be joining us at Ard Nahoo for the second Module in March, 27th-31st.
