Hi all and welcome to Chiang Mai.
Please let me introduce myself, my name is Rod.
I have been interested in the holistic fields since the early 1980's, and this is where my journey began, to improve my life and in turn, to help others in there search for improving and healing themselves. As you can see I have been busy learning many different ways of balancing and healing, body and mind. It has been a lot of fun, hard work and sacrifice, though the rewards for my efforts have paid off tremendously, especially for improving my overall quality of life and allowing me to tune into my natural teaching and healing abilities.

My experience in Yoga, stems back since 1995, when I started
to study and practice the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, the great
spiritual teacher from India, I studied his teachings thoroughly for 6 years
and still continue with my practice even today. Around the year 2000 I
wanted to deepen my Meditational practices, so I started to learn and
practice
Yoga asana.
I studied and practice Yoga asana in India, USA, England, Spain, Scotland and Italy by well known Yoga
teachers, such as John Scott, Sheshadri and Richard Freeman (Ashtanga Yoga),
Godfrey Devereux (Dynamic Yoga), Karen O'Bannon and Bijoo Metha (photo
below) (Iyenger Yoga), Tara Fraser (Vini Yoga), Mataji (Nada Yoga & Yoga
Nidra), and Paramahansa Yogananda (Kriya Yoga).
I
embarked on a career in Yoga in 2002, when I enrolled in, the British wheel
of Yoga teachers foundation course, with Tara Frazer (Vini Yoga).
In 2003, I studied with Godfrey Devereux (Dynamic Yoga) and
completed, his Yoga teacher training
in 2004.
in 2004.
Also in 2004 I studied with Iyenger Yoga teacher Karen O'Bannon (photo

teacher training. Along the way I studied with many excellent, not so well
known Yoga teachers. Petra Mitidieri (Ashtanga Yoga) was my first
asana teacher and her teaching in the Ashtanga full primary series, was great fun, a challenge and very inspirational for me.
I've been studying Chinese arts since 1993 and Wudang Tai Chi Chuan and Chi Kung since
2000, under Sufi Michael Jacques, 3 times world champion of Tai Chi pushing
hands (Tai Chi training technique), were I received level 7 Tai Chi Chuan
and Chi Kung, holistic certification in
2002. Sifu Michael Jacques trained under, master Sifu Dan Docherty, also a
world champion and fore runner in the UK and Europe in the system of
Wudang Tai Chi Chuan.
In 2002 I stated teaching,
covering
for my teacher on several occasions. Having completed my syllabus training
with Michael, I then turned to Sifu Dan Docherty with over 30 years Tai Chi
experience to perfect my practice in the art of
Tai Chi Chuan. Before leaving the UK
in 2004, I had manage to learn the Wudang Tai Chi Chuan, short and long forms, plus
the sword, sabre and spear weapons forms, which are part of the Wudang Tai
Chi Chuan system.
I am currently certified by Dan Docherty, as a level 4 Intermediate Tai Chi Chuan and Chi Kung Instructor and I am licensed by BCCMA.

Tai Chi Chuan like Yoga is a life long practice, in perfecting your
technique and of course yourself.
While I was in India, I was initiated and trained into Usui Reiki
System,
by Rohini khatri. I also studied Usui Reiki with David Swann & Uma Sharma (photo

I am a Reiki Shinpiden practitioner and teacher.
Paramahansa Yogananda was a great inspiration for me, in the realms of working with healing energy, since 1995, I have been practicing a remote healing technique taught by the Great Yogi. I have had the privilege to study Mantra (Nada Yoga) and Yoga Nidra (Yogic sleep) with Mataji (Sadhvi Abha Saraswati) a well known teacher in Rishikesh-India. I studied with Mantak Chia in 2002, while he was in London and completed his cosmic healing course and received, CH1 certification.
