About this user
A good yoga teacher isn't going to tell you what's wrong with you: they're going to help you find the truth about yourself.
Pittsburgh-based Richard Gartner cultivates an exciting independent spirit in yoga, inspired by teachers like Tias Little, Max Strom and Paul Grilley. Richard is a 200-hour Prajna Yoga instructor through Tias, which integrates the eight-limbed yoga path, body science and art into a seamless practice.
Richard Gartner is one of Pittsburgh's most resourceful, knowledgeable and uplifting yoga teachers. His instructions are accurate without being finicky. He fosters a non-dogmatic and compassionate attitude about students' faculty and circumstances. The teachings fuse traditional posture and breathwork with contemporary anatomy and bodywork. It draws from all forms of yoga, trigger-point therapy, mindfulness techniques and common sense.
His classes are challenging and intense, with a respect for everyone's abilities. Richard does not teach any style of yoga. Going beyond a single yoga system, Richard builds on svadyaya (self-study) to help students discover their anatomy, energy, and mind.
Richard is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance. His workshops can be taken for continuing education credit.
