Greg Nardi

Greg Nardi, E-RYT 500 is the lead teacher of Ashtanga Yoga Worldwide classes, workshops, and trainings. Greg began his yoga journey in 1996 when a good friend asked him to “try” yoga. From that first class he knew that this was something he was meant to do.  Yoga helped him feel healthy after years of childhood illness, anxiety and depression and most importantly yoga gave him a sense of meaning and purpose.  He dedicated himself to a yogic lifestyle as part of his healing journey.  

Greg took four separate teacher trainings in the United States and Europe between 1997 and 2003. He took a dozen extended trips to Mysore, India between 1999-2016 to learn yoga with a focus in asana, yoga history and philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and chanting.  Greg also attends Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy.   Greg was formerly authorized level 2 with the KPJAYI in Mysore, India. Since resigning his authorization in 2018 Greg has dedicated himself to educating yoga practitioners about power dynamics and consent driven, person-centered approaches to the teaching and practice of Yoga. Greg has always considered yoga to be both a form of individual healing and social healing justice.  He believes in the healing power of yoga for all.
