"Ryan grew up in a small town, Boise ID. He was introduced to the concept of movement and body awareness at a very young age, 7. It was unconventional considering it was wrestling and motor cross. But, make a mistake wrestling and you lose, make a mistake on a motorcycle and you get hurt.

Small town kid meets big beautiful world.

Growing up in a small town has a few benefits. One of those benefits is that wrestling is cool. This was the beginning of my body awareness and cultivating energy. After years of serious competition, championship titles and numerous injuries, I had come to learn the body.

I was a pre-med student in college. I moved away from sports and into adventure. I replaced wrestling with rock climbing and shifted into the now. Each move became so imperative and present that my focus developed to a point.

After college, my zest for adventure led me to ski patrol and furthered my education of the body. After a brief stint in corporate America, I was beckoned to LA by the shimmering light of healing. In 2002 my career in energy and bodywork had begun. This is when the journey truly began.

I have since studied Swedish massage, CranioSacral Therapy, Thai massage, many modalities of Deep Tissue and everything in between.

No wonder I enjoy yoga so much, it is a combination of strength and balance and inward awareness. Through the watchful eyes of many masters I have crafted my teachings to heal and nurture. The path is long and the journey full of lessons. I now share those with my students and community."
