Rob Ryan

     Rob Ryan is a nascent Yogi who has studied Hatha Yoga extensively with an interest in interspersing various disciplines involved in Kundalini, Iyengar and Astanga desiring to elicit an irradiated coloration from the students through the coalescence of these variegated disciplines.

     His intention as a teacher is to bring each individual through the work cultivating a space that allows each of us to uniquely egress. The intimations he has with the "creative aspect of the infinite made manifest in the finite" began to make itself known to him most readily through art making and thus he approaches others and himself, very much the same way he would approach a canvas or an instrument; aware of "all" potential, limited only by the lack of experience.

     With this in mind he invites you to engage yourselves "in yourselves" and he would be honored for you to do so in his presence and with his guidance; coming to the understanding that we are the eternal, tempted into expression through the desire to love, thus we are infinite potentiality coming to know itself through the modality of universal particularities.

     He conducts the class by getting a feeling for the individuals in the space and reacts in accordance with what he think will benefit the aspirant's consciousness most efficaciously.

     Being an individual who has had and has to work through a lot of physical holding patterns and has invested time into overcoming procrustean antics, he utilizes his own unfolding through time for the welfare of those who have entrusted him with their diachrony, keeping this moment open to receiving actively and initiating activities which further our development in this active receiving.

     He graduated from The School of Visual Arts with honors. During this time he engaged in generating occasions which utilized human beings as one of the mediums for art installations; in other words his effort was to make recognizable the existence & perpetuation of our individuated selves the art proposition. His interest was in eliciting the creative potential of all the individuals involved and seeing how he could experiment with enlivening consortium activities feeling that there was much more to each individual than they generally felt the ability to express in diurnal activities.

     Through these endeavors he began to recognize the way that people stunted they're potential of experiencing their own presence. This elucidated his own limitations thus requesting his inquiry towards opening up to the way of life qualities, his conformity aimed towards the universal and not merely culturally conditioned habits.

     He began to study yoga more rigorously recognizing that it was not merely a physical practice but a way to liberate the creative potential, with this he decided that if he was to authentically move forward in these art endeavors he must strengthen his own awareness in perceptual reality & so began his teacher training. His continued education increases in its vicissitudes day by day as his nisus is set on adoring what all else is.
