Rodney Yee began his Yoga inquiry in 1980. In the same period he was a ballet dancer for the Oakland ballet and a physical therapy and philosophy major at UC Berkley. His yearning for a life that would utilize mind, body and spirit was satiated by the practicing and teaching of Yoga, which over the years Rodney has been instrumental in introducing to the United States. His appearance on Oprah in 1999 helped catapult Yoga into the mainstream. Rodney's illustrious teaching career has flourished worldwide, but has for years been centered at both his wife Colleen's studio, Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor, and at Yoga Shanti New York City, where he is a founding partner. Since 2001 he has partnered with his wife and with Donna Karan on Urban Zen Integrative Therapy, which encompasses the five main modalities to bring us into the present.

I like that the meditation changes as it goes on, and I was able to do it while walking my dogs

Receive and let go. Finding the seed of receiving the breath. This is powerfully and helpful for me to more fully be present in meditation and I know will be a useful tool throughout my day to reconnect with the present moment. Thank you!

I want to share that during this meditation my dog kept coming up to me and putting her toys in my open hands. I just noticed it each time and it made for a joyful morning that brought smiles to my face. Thank you for this moment.

I love the metaphors as the body being the earth, rivers, flowers. Very beautiful, thank you.

I also grateful to Rodney Yee - I came into yoga with DVDs (yes I am that age!) of him in 2005 and that opened the door for me to learn from his books and practise everyday since… it go me interested in more and more … experiencing life differently broader maybe “suppler” (a favorite word of Rodney ) … thanks for the open door
