FACULTY:
Rameen Peyrow

Rameen began his practice of yoga at a very young age with Meditation. His practice of meditation eventually led to Hatha yoga and then to Ashtanga Yoga. In 2002 he was authorized to teach by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. Rameen has a holistic approach to teaching yoga with a strong focus on meditation & yoga philosophy.

The Sattva practice evolved from years of meditation, studies in India and personal practice. Sattva is a state of being, an inspiration & is the state of balanaced mind, so the individual can experience the authentic self. With his commitment and love for meditation & yoga he is dedicated to teaching people how to connect to the authentic experience of the self and the process of realizing their full potential.
