  Jim Bennitt


Jim Bennitt began practicing yoga in 1997 with a variety of styles and teachers. At that time he was working as a clerk on the trading floors of Chicago and needed to find piece of mind as well as a way to relieve the physical effects of stress. In the summer of 2000, Jim began a career in massage therapy and began practicing astanga vinyasa. The following year he met Andre Lappa, a master teacher from Kiev, and began studying with him as well as apprenticing with Gabriel Halpern in therapeutic Yoga. With this experience, as well as a teachers training course at Moksha Yoga Center, Jim began his teaching career. Jim is now a student of Rod Stryker and has completed two teacher training courses with this master teacher. His style of teaching draws mostly from Rod, tantric hatha yoga, focusing on physical and energetic principles as well as meditation. Check the schedule for Jim's classes.
