Jon was finishing college and felt the need to learn a movement discipline that he could practice for life. Already into sports and dance, he was searching for something that would benefit not only body but mind. His search eventually led him to Yoga.

As he became more dedicated to his Practice, Jon traveled to Thailand and India to deepen his knowledge and understanding of Yoga. He completed a 200-hour training at the Centered Yoga Institute in Thailand, and then received further training in Pranayama at the Kaivalyadham Yoga Institute in India.

Jon taught in Yoga Manila for several years until he decided to focus on his academic career. In the academe, he continued to teach Yoga as part of the service physical education program and as a wellness program for the faculty and staff.

Jon is currently based in Australia pursuing a PhD in physical activity and health with an emphasis on Yoga.
