Joe Lopez
Joe Lopez Biography: Joe turned to yoga during a period of financial, emotional and spiritual turmoil while living in Los Angeles in 2006. He began his practice with Los Angeles Naked Yoga in West Hollywood, CA and quickly became enamored of the practice of yoga and the freedom of the practice of nude yoga. He continued his practice as he moved out of L.A. and back to Seattle, WA where he found Seattle Naked Yoga under the guidance of instructor Matt Meko. Matt's blend of Tantric, Hatha, Vinyasa and partner yoga challenged and deepened Joe's practice so much so that it inspired him to teach yoga to others. In 2008, when he relocated back to Colorado (where he grew up), he took up his practice with Corepower Yoga and in November of 2009 completed 200 hours of teacher training. In February of 2010, Joe took over the instruction for Denver Nude Yoga from former instructor Keith Loop and is challenged and invigorated by the amazing opportunity that Keith offered. Joe describes his teaching style as a little squishy and amorphous still. While most of the classes are a Vinyasa flow in the style of Corepower Yoga's classes, he's also been experimenting with and introducing partner yoga to the group, and is open to any and all suggestions regarding what works with students and what doesn't work, or what students might also want to give a try. ´My ultimate goal as we proceed forward is to follow some advice Matt Meko gave me as I started my teacher training: Go in with ´no mind¡, no expectations. Witness your process, don't judge. Be as revealing as you can to everyone, yourself, all the time. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. Please email Joe with any questions or comments at josephtlopez@hotmail.com. In love and light, Namaste |
