Virabhadra Yoga (Warrior Yoga) with Jim Schweitzer Bio

Having enjoyed his yogic journey and the changes that have manifested in his being, Jim Schweitzer, RYT brings to the mat a burning desire to share with others his Iyengar based knowledge, wisdom and asanas that have been handed down to him by his teacher, mentor, and through his constant, continuing inquiry into the philosophical and historical discipline of Yoga. The incorporation of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, emphasizing the Sanskrit language, blended with 25 years of coaching baseball, and using the Iyengar style will provide the basis for his sessions.

Jim has practiced Yoga for 8 years and has completed the requirements for the 200 hour level of Yoga Teacher Certification through the Finding Inner Peace Yoga School. He is also on the faculty of this school as a teacher of "The Business Aspects of Yoga". J

im is also a member of Yoga Alliance and has his RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) designation.

In October of 2008, Jim attended The American Sanskrit Institute immersion class in the Sanskrit alphabet. Since that time, Jim continues to study the language of Sanskrit studying with Sanskrit scholars in Ashland, MA.

Jim lives with his wife Judy in Norfolk, MA. He and his oldest son Jeff operate Northeast Financial Strategies - an accounting and financial services company in Wrentham , MA.

When not practicing Yoga, Jim enjoys spending time with his three granddaughters, bicycling, or spending time on his sailboat.
