Background:
Evan Kopelson began practicing and studying yoga in 1985 at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Los Angeles. In 2004 he completed his teaching certification at Sacred Movement Center for Yoga and Healing in Venice, CA from Saul David Raye, Max Strom, Shiva Rea, and Sherry Brourman, P.T. Evan believes that the most inspiring teachers are perpetual students, and he honors his relationships with teachers and students equally. Evan apprentices with Saul David Raye and has apprenticed with Max Strom. He has also worked intensively with Rod Stryker, Matthew Cohen and Erich Schiffmann, who provide great inspiration with their teachings and light. Evan’s classes promote healing and transformation by allowing one to access their whole self. The effects include increased awareness, strength, flexibility of body and mind, and most of all, the achievement of inner peace. Evan’s workshops and classes feature Thai-based and other therapeutic adjustments, devotional chanting with harmonium, and guided healing sequences, including Yoga Nidra, an ancient rejuvenative practice he calls “Yoga’s Hidden Treasure”.
