Jonathan - Somatic Embodiment teacher

Jonathan developed a love for internal Chinese martial arts after joining a Tai Chi class in a park in Berkeley in his early twenties. Deeply impressed by the qualities displayed by the various martial arts, meditation and embodiment teachers he has met since, he has made it his passion to learn and pass on methods to cultivate the mind, spirit and body.

“I strive to be loving and powerful, and to teach others how to achieve the same. Much of our pain and suffering is unnecessary, we just need the tools to realize this for ourselves.”
