Jim’s journey started in Maine and eventually led him to Los Gatos. His path led him through life in many different states ranging from North Dakota to Texas, Montana to Washington, and throughout most of the other Western states. During one 3-year stretch he spent nine months of each year camping and backpacking. Eventually he found his way to Silicon Valley and a career in tech which ended after a 2-year contract working for the DoD.
Hatha Yoga
Wuji Qigong
Yang-Style Taiji
Along the path, he met a fellow Scuba Instructor by the name of Paul Miller, who introduced him to meditation. Paul’s wife, Kate, introduced Jim to crystals, and his geek was on! Paul and Kate introduced Jim to Gideon and Ana Enz who opened the path to Wuji Qigong and Yang-Style Taijiquan, which led Jim to Breathe Together Yoga. Jennifer Prugh stepped in and led the way to Ladakh, India, and then to the 200-hour JOY of Yoga certification and the 300-hour JOY of Yoga program.
His path has been a long one, with a wealth of both joy and sadness along the way. Now though, it seems and feels as though since he has come to Breathe Together, things are really coming into focus in a very special and unique way.
