BIOGRAPHY OF JOHN SALISBURY

John was raised learning about yoga at home where he was taught the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system by his step-father, Dave Oliver. Having an athletic background as a wrestler and weight-lifter, John knows it takes discipline and determination to realize one's Self and potential. Having traveled to study Ashtanga Yoga in India, he has a refreshing outlook between old-world tradition and new-world inspiration. John has been teaching Vinyasa Yoga since 2000, in which he has helped open multiple yoga studios and participated in several teacher-training programs around the Valley, and currently teaches workshops around the country. He has also co-taught at the Yoga Journal Conference in Estes Park and Miami's Art of Vinyasa Conference. His current teaching residence is at the At One Yoga studios in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Some of John's teachers include Tim Miller, Dave Oliver, Rod Stryker, and Italy's own Lino Miele. Also, Dharma Mittra, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Ragaswamy, and Anthony Carlisi. John also has a B.A. in Theatre from ASU.

"my classes are created for the long spiritual journey, offering modifications for all levels of practitioners, yet challenging even the most advanced. I teach with passion in order to uplift the mind, encourage the heart, and awaken the soul. We are all on this journey together, though our paths may vary."
