Greg Nardi, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500 began his yoga journey in 1996 when a good friend asked him to “try” yoga. From that first class he knew that this was something he was meant to do. Yoga helped him feel healthy after years of childhood illness, anxiety and depression and most importantly yoga gave him a sense of meaning and purpose. He dedicated himself to a yogic lifestyle as part of his healing journey.
Greg took four separate teacher trainings in the United States and Europe between 1997 and 2003. He took a dozen extended trips to Mysore, India between 1999-2016 to learn yoga with a focus in asana, yoga history and philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and chanting. Greg is a graduate of the Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy and was formerly authorized level 2 with the KPJ Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India.
Greg is currently the Program Director for Yoga 4 Change. He has worked in many facets of the yoga industry from being a yoga studio owner/operator, an international workshop presenter, and has dedicated himself to educating yoga practitioners about power dynamics and consent driven, person-centered, and trauma informed approaches to the teaching and practice of Yoga.
Greg has always considered yoga to be both a form of individual healing and social justice. Greg sits on the Board of Directors for Chainless Change, a community of recovery offering second chances to those negatively impacted by the criminal legal system. He believes in the healing power of yoga for all.
