The youngest in a family of four Kripalu-certified yoga teachers and a student of hip-hop since childhood, Forefeather believes the key to a fulfilling life is unrestrained immersion in the present moment, whether through music, yoga, dance, or otherwise. Featured on the Wanderlust Summer Tour of 2017 to offer a series of unique workshops that fused beatboxing with yogic breathing techniques, Forefeather has been working to bridge gaps between ancient and contemporary practices since 2011.
Forefeather has coordinated and taught at numerous yoga teacher trainings, developed transformational workshops and led international retreats. He hosted the Dubuque Yoga Festival in 2016, and was featured at Yoga Journal Live! NYC in 2015 as a musical guest and emcee. Forefeather spent a year in residence at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health for an in-depth personal study of yoga. He has co-taught with internationally renowned yoga teacher Sadie Nardini, and assisted teacher trainings with Coby Kozlowski, Yoganand Michael Caroll, and many more.
