Ramanand Patel: my main teacher for almost 30 years

       Teachers who nurtured me in my formative years:

Judith Lasater: I began to teach while apprenticing with her

Dona Holleman: taught me the role of discipline

Victor Van Kooten: a karma buddy from long ago

Angela Farmer: gave me a glimpse of inner freedom in the body

Donald Moyer: so articulate and discerning

   a profound influence on my teaching and practice, including:
