Unique Yoga Teacher Training with Andrew Kahn of The Peaceful Presence Yoga School
Andrew began practicing yoga at age eight after receiving guidance from his mother, and has been practicing ever since.
Andrew entered a Clinical PhD program at Fordham University to become a psychologist, but discovering that he needed a more spiritual component, he moved to the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, Massachusetts. There he lived and trained intensively from 1991 to 1995. During that time, after becoming certified as a yoga instructor, he taught guests and large groups of yoga teacher trainees.
Afterward, Andrew became the holistic health and spiritual director of the DeSisto School, a school for kids struggling with serious behavior difficulties. He then journeyed to Florida, where he studied at the Florida School of Massage and obtained his license as a massage therapist. Andrew was one of the founding members of the Gainesville Yoga Teachers Association.
Andrew studied Social Work at Yeshiva University and became a Licensed Master Social Worker with a specialization in addiction. Andrew has been deeply involved in food addiction recovery and brings all that he has learned to his work.
Andrew has found faith and his own traditional Jewish practices to be extremely beneficial in giving him structure and discipline.
He now offers an extraordinary yoga teacher training with an emphasis on creating peace within through self-mastery, with the hope of extending that peace into the larger world where possible.
