Peter Leopold

Peter has been studying and practicing physical arts most of his life. He began Aikido and Taekwondo at 13 and continued throughout his teens. At 15 he taught himself Yoga from an old book he found in a magic shop. After high school he moved to the San Francisco bay area and began practicing yoga in studios, as well as Kung Fu and Tai Chi. In 2008, after completing a degree in religious studies from UC Berkeley, he went through teacher training at Yoga Mandala in Berkeley and also began studies in Asian bodywork. Peter is non-dogmatic and playful as a teacher, and his classes emphasize exploration of inner space and the awakening and development of the energetic body.
