About the Instructors


Having practiced yoga for over 23 years, John Heller graduated from the Samadhi Yoga Teacher Training in 2000 and subsequently studied with Ana Forrest in several Teacher Training intensive workshops. John has been inspired and influenced by the  teachings of T.K.V. Desikachar, Swami Vishnudevananda, Swami Sivanda, B.K.S. Iyengar, Asokananda (Harold Brust) and Suzuki Roshi.  He has studied and practiced Zen meditation and several martial arts. As a result, John's yoga practice is Zen in nature and true to the science of Yoga.

In alternate realities, John is a chef, an aspiring screen & stage play writer, and an avid cyclist .
