Scott Moore
Scott Moore’s teaching comes from his heart. He has a gift of connecting with students, as he is authentic, open, loving, and generous. He loves to invest his classes with music, poetry, stories, and a sense of humor. He has a command of the subtle art of yoga, and can teach to all skill levels and needs. His classes are diverse: they range from challenging, flowing, and energizing to relaxing, nurturing, and restorative.

“I spent 6 months in India trying to find the “real yoga.” It was interesting, but no single person has affected my yoga practice as much as you. Your realness and your genuine love for people, music, and yoga inspire me…. You have shown me that yoga comes from inside, and going to India proved it to me.” –D. Rodier, student
