Beau King
On June 19th, 1994 I moved to Los Angeles. The very next day my roommate at the time took me to my first yoga class. I have been practicing ever since. My first teachers were Maty Ezraty and Chuck Miller, the founders of Yoga Works in Santa Monica. I ended up working there from 1996 to 2000, took their Teacher's Training Program in 1997, and started teaching on a regular basis beginning in 1999. Growing up in the Midwest, I would often attend church with my family on Sundays, but the feeling of real spiritual connection continued to elude me until I found the practice. It felt like the spirit and the body were finally united, and I came away from every practice with a feeling of euphoria tempered with a groundedness that left me with a clearer mind and a stronger awareness of my physical capabilities. In my classes I try to emphasize basic technique, with long holds in postures interspersed with challenging sequences and an emphasis on developing core strength. I draw heavily from the Ashtanga Yoga tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India, where much of the "Power Yoga" approach is derived from. If you're looking for a no-nonsense class where you can challenge yourself and quiet your mind, I try to provide an atmosphere where both can happen.
John Mackow
A pianist, an actor, a collegiate swimmer, and once a US Air Force captain, John’s unique individual resume lends itself to a unique yoga class experience. John grounds his yoga practice and teaching style from his practical experiences in the arts and athletics and from the great philosophies of all cultures, from Zoroaster, to Nietzsche, to Sartre, to the Tao, and to the Vedas. John centers his practice in mindfulness, gently guiding the students into an awareness of the slightest and simplest of physical movement and thought impulses, and then gradually builds the practice peaking in a flow of more demanding postures. John believes the purpose of the yoga practice is to penetrate deep into your mental, physical, and emotional core, and then utilize the flow postures to facilitate the removal of any residual toxins from the inside out, leaving the body and mind clear, open, and more in touch with the truth of our inner being.
