Sankalpah Yoga
Born and raised in Manhattan, Isaac began practicing martial arts at the age of seven and was introduced to zen meditation at the age of nine. Zen Meditation was his first experience with something deeper than the physical body. Isaac continued his studies in martial arts and at The Fire Lotus Zendo until he discovered Jivamukti Yoga. He began his yoga practice in the mid-nineties taking daily classes at Jivamukti and working privately with David Life and Sharon Gannon. Studying so closely with the founders of Jivamukti provided him with a sound, strong foundation for his sadhana practice. Isaac took his first teacher training with Alan Finger at Yoga Zone and began to work privately with students in New York City.
After a few years Isaac began to deeply explore Iyengar and Ashtanga Yoga, studying with many inspiring teachers such as Dharma Mitra, Glenn Black, Richard Freeman, Rodney Yee, David Swenson, Nancy Gilgoff, Manuso Manos, Chuck Miller & Maty Ezraty. Through his experience of learning the intelligence of the body in the Iyengar tradition and apprenticing with several advanced Ashtanga teachers his interest in Thai Massage was sparked. Isaac wanted to learn a complimentary method to open the channels of the body to allow the practitioner more freedom in the flow. In his desire to continue his education in Thai Body work Isaac has made several trips to Thailand since 2000 and he received certification to practice Thai Body work and also to instruct others in the art under the guidance of Chung Kal & Chaiyuth Priyasith.
Isaac was busy running all over NYC taking yoga classes when he took Jude English’s class, it felt familiar, like his own class. Isaac & Jude started spending more time together and Sankalpah Yoga was born. From Isaac & Jude's persistent inquiry into the practice of yoga and their desire to share more with their students they developed the Sankalpah Yoga Intensive, which they are most proud of and feel lucky to share with their growing “family” of yoga students . Isaac believes you are the company you keep and feels blessed to be surrounded by so many who want to live with purpose.
