Gordon made his transition from helping patients as a physician to helping students as a yoga instructor. His background as a Radiologist gives him a unique perspective on the human body and the science and health benefits of yoga. He received his 200 hour yoga teacher certification from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Wellness in the Berkshires, aligning himself with their philosophy of inclusiveness, regardless of limitations or abilities, and has begun his journey towards his 500 hour certification. His knowledge of health and wellness helps students to listen to their bodies, practicing yoga with ahimsa, the yogic philosophy of doing no harm. He experienced both a spiritual and physical transformation through yoga and would like to help others gain the clarity to discover their true authentic selves and realize peace and well-being. He is happily married, splitting his time between beautiful Cape Cod and the bustling, excitement of city life in Boston. His three children all live in the Boston area.

 

With the hope of helping a much greater number of people through the practice yoga, Gordon published Journey into Yoga ~ A Guide for Transformation and Discovery, a comprehensive exploration of yoga for those who have considered yoga, but haven't for a multitude of reasons, the complete novice and the advanced practitioner who wishes to deepen their practice. He is in the process of publishing his next book, which considers yoga as a complement to other therapies for those with mental challenges.
