Josh is licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Medicine and certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). He holds a Masters in Oriental Medicine from the New England School of Acupuncture, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia University.
Josh began studying yoga in the early nineties with a gifted Iyengar yoga teacher in New York City named James Murphy. Since then he has spent several years living abroad in India, Taiwan and Burma where he has studied both yoga and meditation. As his interest in vipassana or insight meditation has developed, so too has his interest in more contemplative forms of yoga practice. With a professional background in Oriental Medicine and a personal passion for the dharma, Josh fell in love with Yin Yoga as a beautiful synthesis of these two interests.
Josh’s classes emphasize safe alignment, the cultivation of moment-to-moment awareness and the potential for freedom in the here and now. Josh is the Director of Contemplative Practices at Back Bay Yoga Studio.
