Ian is a Los Angeles-based practitioner who found his way to the mat after a life spent moving across the country, from small-town Wisconsin to the vibrant energy of Miami. Previously a competitive bodybuilder and actor, he spent years in the spotlight to overcome a natural shyness before a sobering medical diagnosis at age 53 led him to the healing power of yoga. Now focused on recovery and resilience, he uses his practice to lower his mental shields and find comfort in vulnerability. When he’s not on the mat, you can find him researching Stoic philosophy, eating Thai food, or planning his future travels to Thailand.
