About Us
Sarah Tomlinson:
is a pioneer in the field of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Healing With Yantras.
From extensive time in India with her teacher Harish Johari, Sarah shares the spiritual practice of working with Yantras.
She is one of the first teachers to be trained in the Jivamukti Yoga Method by David Life and Sharon Gannon. Sarah developed the Ancient Ayurveda Yoga Series, producing an internationally acclaimed DVD of the same name.
Sarah's approach to asana is informed by her studies with Diane Long in the tradition of Vanda Scaravelli. See http://www.yantratecture.com. Sarah is the author of Nine Designs For Inner Peace, Inner Traditions Publishing, 2008

Cliff Schuman:a certified Jivamukti instructor, has been teaching for over 15 years in New York City.
He has been trained by the well renowned owners of the Jivamukti Yoga Center, Sharon Gannon and David Life.
The travels in India and studies with Sri K. Pattabis Jois have made his knowledge of vinyasa yoga, Ashtanga Yoga,
more complete. His comprehensive style, along with attention to detail and sense of humor make his
class a unique and healing experience. Visit http://www.cliffschuman.com.

Robert Fitzpatrick: For Robert, self-inquiry has been the way of his life for over 24 years. However about
one year of this time was spent NOT meditating as instructed whilst at the feet of Vedic and Sanskrit scholar, overall
master yogi, Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati. Also known as Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D., Robert met "Guruji" at Ananda
Ashram, Monroe New York in 1988. So karmic irony being what it is, Mr. Fitzpatrick now leads private and group
meditations in New York City and other fantastic locals around the globe, including South Bend Indiana! Silliness
aside, paramount to my approach with students, is a deep respect for others venturing upon the sacred journey of
self-discovery. To quote my favorite teacher, whom I mentioned above, "with these terms I wish good luck and a good
future to every living being". Right on...http://www.yantratecture.com
