Richard Freeman—one of the first Western teachers to be certified to teach by his principal teacher, K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India —has been a student of yoga since 1968. He has spent nearly nine years in Asia studying various traditions, which he incorporates into his Ashtanga yoga practice. His background includes Zen and Vipassana Buddhist practice, Bhakti and traditional Hatha Yoga in India, Sufism in Iran and, starting in 1974, an in-depth study of Iyengar Yoga. He is still an avid student of both Western and Eastern philosophy, as well as Sanskrit. His ability to juxtapose various viewpoints, without losing the depth and integrity of each, has helped Richard develop a unique, metaphorical teaching style. He is the director of the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado.
