My teacher and training:
I studied yoga at Yoga and Inner Peace Center in Lakeworth under the wise guidance of Bharata, my
Blessed Teacher and Infinite Inspiration.
This place is the best kept spiritual secret in South Florida and a place where the presence of a
Master is felt at every moment. The teachers, the students and the energy itself are a vibrant witness
of the greatness of Spirit that is cultivated there.
Damodhara (Jean-Charles) and yoga:
I came into learning the paths of yoga after a long reflection on how to serve, heal and teach at the
same time.
After working as a massage therapist for 4 years, I got the opportunity to explore my potential and I
came to realize that a one sided and passive approach to healing did not quite satisfy me anymore.
Of course, massage therapy is a powerful tool and has amazing benefits for the one receiving. Yet
those benefits are short lived and one needs repeated treatments to see long term effects.
Yoga, as it comes from within, is part of a self healing dynamic and therefore is much more powerful.
The combined power of a willing, focused, relaxed mind and strengthening effects of a specific
sequence of steady postures is a deep, complete and immensely healing form of exercise.
By controlling the mind and the breath, one controls thoughts, feelings and begins the creative
process of renewing the deep connexion between body, mind and spirit (God).
My goal is to teach you and help you restore this unity. I aim to serve you the best I can and will
follow and encourage your progress and improvements of your practice.
Yes, yoga is hard....but all forms of exercise is hard. However, what other form of exercise do you
know that strengthens you body, mind and spirit at the same time?
What other form of exercise leaves you with such a deep sense of peace and well being that all you
want to do is do it over and over again?
This is the power of yoga. When you do good to your body, an innate form of intelligence draws you
to do more and do better.
I am here to humbly serve you and help you on this journey to happiness and well being.
Namaste,
Damodhara
