John Levis is a Certified Anusara® Yoga Instructor.

John completed his initial teacher training with Todd Norian in 2003. He has also assisted Todd's immersion and teacher training and continues to study with Anusara founder, John Friend as well as many senior Anusara instructors having completed over 1,000 hours of training. John also had the privilege of assisting senior teacher Desiree Rumbaugh at the International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh, India in 2007. John also completed the thai yoga certification from Shantaya Healing Arts with Jonas Westring in 2005.

John grew up playing ice-hockey beginning at the age of six and played throughout high school. He spent most of the nineties in the gym, heavily into weight-training. In 1999 he was introduced to yoga and left the gym for good the following year. He found that yoga offered a much better work without all that strain on the body and actually found himself one inch taller after the age of 30! Since finding Anusara® Yoga in 2002, he has remained dedicated to The Universal Principles of Alignment™ and has relieved chronic back pain.

Combining an amazing, therapeutic workout with a life enhancing, heart opening practice inspired by a tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness, John has found his path. This practice helps him to open up to the full spectrum of life and finds that teaching inspires and helps others to align with their greatest potential, thus raising the vibration for all! His classes are fun, inspiring and informative.

John teaches yoga fulltime throughout northern NJ. He offers private one-on-one instruction, therapeutic yoga, thai yoga bodywork, corporate and public classes.

"John's passion and contagious energy helps his students play their edge making a meaningful correlation between deep desire and profound potential. Students learn to thoroughly understand the postures and their benefits. Linking intention to every breath, his classes have a harmonious rythm. Approaching the practice with a good sense of humor and natural playfulness, he encourages his students to play their edge and unveil their potential.

The inspiration of this practice has taken John to India, Egypt, Costa Rica and all over the States as he loves to travel and explore different cultures and perspectives of life.
