Bob began his study of yoga in 2001 out of an interest in athletics and health. Living an active life-style for over 60 years, he appreciated the positive energy and welcoming community in his yoga classes. While studying regularly with Catharine at Purna Yoga East (formerly East Second Street Yoga and Massage), he also attends Purna Yoga Workshops with Aadil Palkhivala and Savitri and with Bryan Legere, one of the inventors of the Great Yoga Wall.
In June 2009 Bob graduated from the Purna Yoga College 200 hour Yoga Alliance teacher training intensive at Yoga Centers in Bellevue, WA. In September 2010 he completed the 500 hour level of training at the College of Purna Yoga. Bob is now a 500 Hour Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher and has since completed the 2,000 hour Purna Yoga College training with Aadil and Savitri to become a Certified Purna Yoga Instructor.
Bob is eager to share yoga with his students. He has a light energetic teaching style, is extremely sincere and incorporates humor in his classes while maintaining an atmosphere of safety and relaxation.
Bob has four grown children and four grandchildren. He loves the beach, grilling out, playing music and learning how to train his dogs, Eula who are now 10!
