Phil has always carried a love and joy of the yoga tradition with him in his life as well as in his teaching. He feels that all students can experience the spiritual and energetic awakenings that are brought forth through the yoga practice. Phil likes to color his classes with the knowledge that he has received both from his infinitely wise teachers and from his personal practice. His classes are fun and loving with a kick of spiritually awakening sarcasm. He wants all students to feel welcome whatever their background or ability and drives his classes to the place of universal acceptance. His classes are known for bringing students to places they didn't think were possible. He has a specialty in working with therapeutic issues.

Phil has studied yoga intensely since 2000 receiving his first Hatha yoga teaching certification in 2002 and his 500 hr certification in 2003. He has since become a dedicated student of Anusara Yoga and achieved Anusara-Inspired status in 2009. He has received teacher training from his teachers John Friend and Zhenja Larosa.
