RAMA
JYOTI VERNON |

Rama Jyoti Vernon
started Yoga Journal in the early '70s as a newsletter that
she typed out at her kitchen table and sent to other yoga
teachers she knew because she felt there should be
communication among them. Her vision led to the creation of
the California Yoga Teachers Association, and the newsletter
expanded into a major magazine. She is also responsible for
bringing B.K.S. Iyengar to the U.S. for the first time in the
early 1970s. She is a yoga teacher, scholar, mother of five,
grandmother and the founder of many yoga organizations. She
has organized yoga conferences in Russia, Central America and
the Middle East. She is active in peace movements around the
world and has met with heads of state worldwide. Her low-key,
warm and friendly manner, and the way she shares personal
anecdotes about her life, make her students feel they know and
like her as a friend. |
