I am an Ashtanga Yoga teacher living in Japan. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended the University of California at Santa Cruz (Environmental Studies program). I have lived all over the States (Washington State, Idaho, Arizona, Boston and NYC). I was most recently in Manhattan between 1999 and 2004. I moved to Tokyo in 2004 to be with my beloved wife Mae and now reside with her in the southwest of Japan in Fukuoka.
I am passionate about the practice of yoga and most everything associated with the practice. I am a deeply spiritual person and spend most of my life seeking the deeper meanings of all things. That in essence, is why I am passionate about the living foods diet and lifestyle. There is no question in my mind that eating and living in this fashion creates the ground from which one can develop the highest potential of human evolution and consciousness.
I travel extensively and love to do so. There is so much magic and wonder in this world. So much light and truth to share. - Govinda Kai

hi Jon, that is interesting. it explains why Govinda was Kino's first teacher. she was studying in NYC at the time he was there. i love Govinda's photography and it's nice to know his spiritual side. so now you need to invite Kino :)
cheers,
Arturo
Hi Arturo,
Unfortunately, I didn't attend any of Govinda's classes. Financial status is bad and I had to devout the whole week for the activities in UP. We had the fitness week last week and the 10th year concert of the UP Pep Squad, of which I was a part of.
Yes, his photography is amazing. And I'm sure he's a great teacher.
Cheers,
Jon
