The Teachers
Ben Culver
Ben has been practicing and teaching yoga for over a decade. He maintains a daily Ashtanga practice and studied at the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute with Saraswati Jois for two months during the summer of 2017. He has also studied and practiced with many experienced teachers, including Mati Guerra, Vance Selover, David Garrigues, Kino MacGregor, Christine Hoar, and David Keil. The practice means a lot to him, and he feel fortunate to have the opportunity to share it with others. Ben teaches on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and every other led primary series.
Becky Perlmutter
Becky started practicing Ashtanga in 2009, as a way to support her running habit. It worked- she still runs! She also came to love the practice. Becky did her teacher training in with Kim Manfredi at Charm City Yoga in 2012. She has practiced with Mary Flynn, Jen Rene, and David Keil. Becky teaches on Saturdays and every other led primary series.
At Ashtanga Yoga Baltimore, we believe yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice.
It is a practice that supports its practitioners to respond to the world with more intention and compassion.
