Scott began practicing yoga as a teenager and refined his practice through his years as a college student/athlete. With a background in physics and biomechanics, Scott deeply explores the logic of the body's anatomical structures and its systems. Scott studied with Hatha Yoga masters Dona Holleman and Ramanand Patel, and spent six years studying intensively with Roger Eischens. By working closely with master teachers, Scott came to recognize the human body as a microcosm of the greater natural world, which inspires his creative and grounded teaching presence.
In addition to Scott's extensive yoga training, he is also a certified bodyworker, Pilates instructor and Kinesiologist. Through Zero Balancing (ZB) training, Scott developed greater insight into the workings of the skeleton and how the bones influence the rest of the organism. Through his extensive Pilates training, Scott has deepened his understanding of the body's core and its contribution to wellness and vitality. Scott recently earned a Ph.D. in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison; scientific rigor also informs his practice and teaching.
Scott is also a dedicated student of the meditation master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. He is a Senior Facilitator within the Tergar community, where he guides meditation group sessions, offers meditation interviews and leads non-residential retreats.
