John was raised learning about yoga at home where he was taught the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system by his step-father, Dave Oliver. Having an athletic background as a wrestler and weight-lifter, John knows it takes discipline and determination to realize one's Self and potential. Having traveled to study Ashtanga Yoga in India, he has a refreshing outlook between old-world tradition and new-world inspiration. John has been teaching Vinyasa Yoga since 2000, in which he has helped open multiple yoga studios and participated in several teacher-training programs around the Valley, and currently teaches workshops around the country. He has also co-taught at the Yoga Journal Conference in Estes Park and Miami's Art of Vinyasa Conference. His current teaching residence is at the At One Yoga studios in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Some of John's teachers include Tim Miller, Dave Oliver, Rod Stryker, and Italy's own Lino Miele. Also, Dharma Mittra, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Ragaswamy, and Anthony Carlisi. John also has a B.A. in Theatre from ASU.

Jenn Chiarelli's journey began through the art of dance. She pursued her dream of becoming a professional ballerina when she joined the Cleveland San Jose Ballet as one of its youngest members. During her 11 year career with the company, Jenn danced various soloist and principal roles in works by notable choreographers including George Balanchine, Martha Graham, Donald McKayle, and Dennis Nahat. She received critical acclaim for her role as the Pioneer Woman in Martha Graham's Appalachian Spring.
Jenn discovered Yoga, when one of her colleagues took her to her first Ashtanga class in California. At first it was a wonderful new challenge and helped her detoxify her body and mind. She soon realized that her path through yoga was just beginning. At the same time she was blessed to have met her teacher Swami Khecaranatha, and began her study and practice of Kundalini Mahayoga. As she became more aware of her own spiritual journey, she traveled to Costa Rica to the Nosara Yoga Institute. There she received her yoga teacher certification in Interdisciplinary yoga. Jenn has met many yogis along the way, who have influenced her practice and teaching style, including Don and Amba Stapelton, Shannon Gannon and David Life, Seane Corn, and Dominic Corigliano. Jenn teaches a Vinyasa flow class that integrates her background as a dancer and her love of yoga. She urges her students to explore their own internal rhythms, their own personal flow through the postures, breath, music, and an open heart.

Julie has been a daily practitioner of yoga since 2003. For a year in solitude, then making her way into the studio. Six months later, she was teaching. Following in the footsteps of her first teacher, Bryan Kest, sharing her journey with others, sharing this way of life, this ride... is what drives her teaching. Trained in Astanga Yoga and inspired by many, her classes are filled with powerful flows, music, and a place to truly release, to surrender, to breathe and to be... knowing that a quiet mind, an open heart and deep breath can be all you need. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix Visit: www.iloveomshantiyoga.com

A monumental offering of transcendent melodies and earthy grooves, Girish joins his lush, soulful vocals with a global cast of award winning musicians. "Diamonds in the Sun" is a fresh, eclectic blend that is by turns intimate, peaceful, and inspiring, and then vibrant, passionate, and playful. A welcome reminder that just below the surface of who we think we are, we all are "Diamonds in The Sun".
"With "Diamonds in the Sun" Girish has found the perfect blend of musical styles, pure inspiration, tender ballads, and that awesome combining of chant form and English lyrics. This is infectious, encompassing music to lift your spirits and soothe your soul." Lloyd Barde, Common Ground
"Girish pours forth the sweetness on his third release Diamonds in the Sun, a delicious blend of flavors that will quench your spiritual thirst and fill your hungry heart. Girish delivers with his soothing voice, collection of world instruments and cameo cast of dream team players, effectively mixing English prayers with Sanskrit call-and-response style chanting. This unique merging invites listeners of all backgrounds to join in and touch the heart of the divine." Michael Reidinger, LA Yoga Magazine

Girish Recommends David Romanelli's new book "Livin' the Moment"
Do you remember what you did a week ago Tuesday? What about 3 weeks ago Wednesday? Life is becoming a big blur. What good is a day where you answer all your voicemails, and respond to all your emails, and check off all your to-do's... if you fail to have one moment of pleasure? David's book shares fun, funny, irreverent stories from my ten years as a yoga teacher on the "spiritual path." No this is not a yoga book, but rather a guide to inspiration, faith, and love... mixed with drugs, sex, and rock n' roll. Think Deepak Chopra meets Cheech and Chong. Think livin' the good life is livin' the moment.

Mantra Music: Girish
By Erika Burkhalter
LA Yoga Magazine
Like a diamond in the sun, Girish shines brightly in the world of kirtan. His music, rich with rhythm and full of heart makes you want to sing...and play. Three times now, Girish has graced my class at Yoga Works, Costa Mesa, with his music, invoking what one of my students described as a "spiritual experience" to be able to practice asana and feel the beat of the tablas while Girish weaves mantras such as the Gayatri and my personal favorite, the Maha Mritryunjaya Mantra, as well as his more rockin' version of the Hanuman Chaleesa into the very air, enveloping you with song .
Inspired by my experience with Girish, I attended his chanting workshop this past February and purchased a harmonium from the Self-Realization Fellowship in Encinitas. During his three-hour workshop, he brought such a natural ease to the chants, allowing them to be accessible to everybody by playing them in different keys for different voices. Although the traditional Sanskrit wording of the chants is said to carry its own essence, most people find more meaning in the chants when they understand the translation, which Girish thoroughly explains, often accompanying the translation with a story or two illustrating the historical or mythological significance of the mantra. After class, Girish patiently instructed me on a few simple chords for the harmonium and, although I am only proficient at three or four chants, the Maha Mritryunjaya Mantra and the Gayatri among them, I have been playing the harmonium in all of my classes ever since and my students report that they love the musical addition to the class.
Erika Burkhalter is a Yoga teacher and an increasingly more skillful harmonium player when she teaches at Yoga Works in Costa Mesa and on the Yoga Trek Adventure retreats and workshops she leads both locally and internationally: erikaburkhalter.com. Both Erika and Girish will be at Bhakti Fest 2010: bhaktifest.com.
