ALLAN (SKIP) DOWDS

In 2015, at 58 Skip retired from an accounting career to teach and promote Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (Raja Yoga) the classic holistic discipline he’s practiced since 2003.

In 2011, he received a 500hr yoga teaching certification from a student of BKS Iyengar, the 20^th century master of classical yoga postures.

Raja Yoga includes a physical component but is largely a mental training that relieves symptoms of a distracted mind, including:

>  carelessness		>  indecision
>  confusion		>  inefficiency
>  craving		>  laziness
>  distraction		>  negligence
>  doubt		>  procrastination
>  dullness		>  sensuality
>  idleness		>  uncertainty

If you suffer from any of these, Skip can guide you through Patanjali’s mindfulness exercises to holistically relieve your own suffering!

Skip says, “I suffered from an unwarranted lack of self confidence bordering on anxiety until a few years ago. Ironically, it drove me to become a successful accountant – but it came at great personal cost, mentally and emotionally. Physical exercise helps but nothing beats Patanjali’s mindfulness practice for lowering stress and fostering faith in oneself. Nothing. I’d be honored to share what I’ve learned with you.”
