Scott Israel
Yoga Phoenix

Scott started practicing yoga in college in 2001. He experimented with various Hatha yogas and found each one to be excellent in its own right. In 2008 when he first went to Arizona, he stumbled upon a yoga that he'd never heard of before, Kundalini Yoga.

It took the urging of every teacher whose class he attended before he conceded to go through the six months of training to become himself a Kundalini Yoga teacher. When he applied to Yoga Phoenix's teaching program he was informed that he had more recommendations than anyone who had ever attended the school.
