Ben has been teaching for over nine years and has guided well over 3,000 classes. He earned his initial certification locally in Issaquah and completed his 500-hour training in Bali in 2017.
Ben is experienced in teaching:
-

Restorative Yoga
He has led multiple Teacher Trainings under his own brand, Veda Vyasa Yoga, and regularly leads both local and international retreats.
Ben has continued his education through in-person training with respected teachers such as Tias Little and Judith Hanson Lasater, the founder of Restorative Yoga. His ongoing studies focus on Meditation, Arm balances and inversions, Chakra theory, Restorative and deeply restful practices.
Outside of teaching, Ben creates spiritually themed artwork and designs mala bead necklaces to support meditation and intention.
