About Larry
Speaking from experience.
Larry is a living example of the yoga and meditation he has been teaching since 1971. His teachings are clear, practical and insightful. They contain both a deep spiritual perspective and a healthy sense of humor.
Larry’s gift is his ability to bring classical teachings to modern life. For example, Larry teaches that a yoga pose is only complete with a smile, that meditation can actually enhance your thinking (not your “not-thinking”) and that what you learn on your yoga mat can be applied to all aspects of your life, including relationships, work and health.
Larry is an E-RYT500, the highest certification given by the national Yoga Alliance. He has personally studied with the world’s foremost yoga and meditation masters, including B.K.S. Iyengar, Swami Satchidananda, Pir Vilayet Inayat Khan, Swami Vishnu Devananda and Baba Ram Das. His yoga YouTube videos which include Secrets to Posture, Headstand and Nauli (stomach rolling) have had hundreds of thousands of views. He is one of the most popular yoga and meditation teachers at the prestigious Chautauqua Institution, in upstate New York and he has taught at Active Minds, the national college suicide prevention organization.
