Russ’ method of teaching yoga is grounded in sound anatomical understanding of the body from his 15 years experience as a bodyworker and Rolfer. His yoga studies, mostly through the Iyengar system, have been comprehensive and diverse within a variety of styles. He has studied with numerous teachers including Richard Freeman, Dona Holleman, Shandor Remete, Rodney Yee, Manouso Manos and Lisa Walford. He informs his understanding of the human system through other movement modalities such as Tai Chi, Feldenkrais Method, Continuum Movement and Alexander Technique.
