Through a keen interest in Yoga, Ryan began exploring the sub continent of India at a very young age. During his travels, Sri Sathya Baba inspired and awakened him to a lifelong commitment of spirituality. At the age of 21, Ryan began sharing his yoga practice as a certified instructor in Santa Barbara, California. With close to 3 years of intensive study in India, Ryan has grounded the roots of his teachings deep into Indian Philosophy, while integrating western principles of Anatomy and Physiology. Ryan continues to lead retreats and teach workshops internationally in both Yoga and Ayurveda.

Alongside his passion for teaching Yoga, Ryan is a practicing professional herbalist incorporating Western, Chinese, and Ayurvedic principles for healing. Currently, Ryan is working toward a certification from the American Herbalist Guild, which is the most prestigious organization in the United States representing herbalists. Ryan is continuing to further his education with world-renowned herbalist and Yoga teacher, Karta Purkh Khalsa under a private mentorship.

Ryan's travels will once again take him on a sabbital from Zenergy through mid-Spring 2008.
