Kevin Gardiner, a native New Yorker, began studying yoga in 1970 and has been teaching Iyengar Yoga since 1982.

He is indebted and eternally grateful for the genius and compassion of BKS Iyengar, his daughter Geeta and son Prashant whose tireless dedication to the subject is the heart of Inspiration. He was a co-founder of the Iyengar Institute of Greater New York serving on its Executive Committee and in various leadership roles continuously since it's inception. In the States Mary Dunn has been a guiding light and his primary teacher since the early 80's and he has been inspired by the teachings of Manouso Manos, Ramamand Patel, John Schumacher, Faeq Biria, Jawahar Bangera, Dean Learner, to name a few. He has held a Junior Intermediate III Teaching Certificate since 1988, and will be returning India for further study in fall '09. Until December 2006, Kevin also had his own yoga studio in Manhattan. He then married Erika, also a certified Iyengar teacher, and relocated to Erika's hometown of Budapest where they have set up a new home and are now teaching at their own studio. Over the years, he has traveled extensively, teaching in North and South America, as well as many years and countless workshops in his ancestral home of Ireland. A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Kevin was a professional actor, director and teacher for 15 years, including seven years of touring Shakespearean productions in traditional repertory style. Along the way, he also sustained a ten-year practice of Tai Chi and Shaolin Kung Fu. His teaching is highly detailed and textured, seamlessly incorporating many components of yoga philosophy and the sutras, while continuously challenging students to gain greater sensitivity and awareness in each asana. He has a tremendous practical understanding of the living anatomy of the human body, and a lighthearted and offbeat sense of humor. This workshop will focus on the subtle work for the Intermediate practioner, discovering the organic and pranic layers. Slowing down, taking time and going deeper.
