In addition to yoga, Basil has trained for four years in the somatic approaches of Core Energetics and the Shalom Mountain Process.
In his two decades of teaching, Basil has opened three yoga studios and has developed yoga programs for fitness centers, global yoga schools, and the public education systems in the tri-state area. His students are celebrities, artists, and the everyday folk that are looking to greet life with creativity, passion, and authenticity. In addition to assisting his teaching yoga in Ridgefield, Connecticut, look for him leading teacher trainings and retreats in Bali, St Lucia, and the Grand Caymans.
Basil enjoys cooking, global travel with his husband Nico and pup Coop, and reading up on different philosophical views while listening all genres of music (on vinyl) in the background.
