| - I have been practicing Yoga under Jim Keegan (studio owner) for 6 years now. I have seen him move around a bit, but I have stayed with him because he still has the best Asana class I have ever experienced.
About 7 or 8 years ago, I decided Yoga was something I wanted to pursue because of the health benefits. Although I felt the benefits of Yoga early, I kept looking for better yoga. I went everywhere, such as: Gold Gym, LIfetime Fitness, LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, At One Yoga, Inner Vision, Dahn Yoga, South West Institute of Healing Arts, MCC, ASU.....etc
I met Jim when he taught yoga at ASU. Jim has brought me to see Yoga for more than just a series of postures for the body.
Over six years of attending Jim's classes, I am still attend........? Over the years I have wondered why I consider him the best. Of course it isn't conclusive, but here are a few contributing factors:
1. Jim has degree in Kinesiology (scientific study of human movement). His sometimes elaborate description while in a posture helps bring my awareness, to those parts of my body.
2. Jim is also a very good massage therapist, which probably also helps him to remain intimate with the physiology of the body.
3. When I have run into Jim outside of the studio, he seems to always have some sort of Veda in his hand or in his bag. So this leads me to believe he immerses himself in his craft. As a doctor should read medical journals, your yoga instructor should strive to augment his understanding of Yoga.
In spite these 3 elements, they do NOT define Jim's excellence as a Yoga Instructor. In the end I have to still say, Jim offers a certain, "Je ne sais pas," which I cannot define...........nevertheless I plan on continuing to practice Yoga under Jim Keegan.
