Justin is from New York City and has moved around within the US and Japan over 16 times, so not really having a place to call his home, he has found the one home that will never leave him… his body! And his body is his TEMPLE! A teacher who “walks his talk.” Studied in NYC and Connecticut at Ashantaga Yoga Shala in Manhattan and studied under Kathy Campbell at W.H.Y in Connecticut.

Also had the wonderful the opportunity to study Mysore yoga in Tokyo under Tarik Thami. His fitness background comes from all his years of training as a baseball player and studying fitness at Columbia University. He has tried out for the Hiroshima Carps and the Yomiuri Giants. He actually made Kin Chan’s semi pro baseball team, the Golden Goals.

Justin uses his body in any way he can through acting, dance, and modeling. He would never consider his yoga classes normal, in fact he doesn’t even like to call them yoga classes. To label something means to set boundaries on it and there are no boundaries in his classes.

A word of wisdom from Justin for his future students:
ANYONE can take ANY ONE of my classes. I have a 10 year boy who does my “Yoga Terminator” class, a women who arrives in a wheelchair and uses crutches to enter the studio for my “Opening” class, and people who have never done a sport enjoying my “Sweat Till You Drop” class. Don’t let your own fears hold you back — use that fear as motivation!!!
