Doug was, as they say, a mature student when he took his first yoga class at age 58. He is now a yoga teacher, a meditation coach certified through the Radiance Sutra School of Instinctive Meditation, and a photographer. He worked for 33 years in marketing research and strategy consulting, and has spent the last ten or so years since retirement, paddling, taking photographs, and seeking a deeper connection with himself and a greater awareness of his place within the larger web of life. Doug completed his RYT 200 with Risa Gotlib at Tiny Buddha Yoga. He also has a 50 hour certification to teach yin yoga (taught by Bernie Clark), and has completed a 200 hour training to coach meditation (taught by the founders of Instinctive Meditation, Lorin Roche and Camille Maureen). His photographs can be seen on Instagram (@doug493pix).
