Luke Simon

Born and raised in New Mexico, Luke’s love for Yoga has taken him to many beautiful places and teachers. In 2006 he traveled to India and completed Sivananda Ashram's 200-hour Hatha training in Kerala. While there, he hugged Amma for the first time, and has been inspired by her heartful path of “Embracing the World” ever since. After graduating from Sarah Lawrence, he discovered the bold and joyful Laughing Lotus Center in New York, completing another 200 hour training in Vinyasa that brought his creativity to the yoga mat. Luke blends the rhythm and strength of Vinyasa with clear alignment, smart sequencing and lots of breath. The ecstatic healing tools of Sanskrit chanting, breathwork, music and laughter make their way in, too. Most recently Luke's been inspired by Rodney Yee and how good it feels to be in the body, entering the wild peace of the heart again and again. He writes about yoga on his blog, www.future-saints.com.
