Namaste and Aloha,

My name is John Warner Laster.  I started Yoga about 2 years ago with a program called YogaX from P90X..

Now I'm hooked!!

I have lived and worked in Japan, Australia, Puerto Rico and Maui, Hawaii. Currently in Oklahoma.

My passion has always been in the Martial Arts which i still practice...but teaching violence has slowly given way to practicing peace...trying to blend the two.

thats it for now..look forward to meeting all of you in this wonderful community
