Joshua first ventured into yoga as a way to improve his flexibility while teaching Tae-kwon-do in the military back in 2002. He was intrigued by the effect yoga had on his mind as well as his body. He soon stopped martial arts and began studying various styles of yoga as well as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali on his own and with various teachers. While practicing in Honolulu, Josh was introduced to Ashtanga and Kripalu yoga. Joshua completed his teacher training at Yoga Hawaii in 2007 and has recently separated from the military to pursue studying and teaching yoga full time.

As a student and a teacher, Joshua believes in challenging the body as a means to focus the mind. In his classes, he tries to offer a more holistic approach by integrating what he has learned from various yoga traditions. Joshua approaches his teaching with a sense of humility and feels honored to able to share what he has learned with his fellow students. Joshua is registered with the Yoga Alliance and the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
