Jim Deneff has taught Kundalini Yoga for ten years. He was certified to teach Kundalini by Dr. Siri Gian Singh Khalsa in 1998. He recently was given the spiritual name Manvir Singh Khalsa.

A little over two years ago, a health challenge caused him to re-evaluate his life, to step into a more authentic sense of self, and to discover what he can best offer to others; naturally, he has decided that to expand his yoga teaching fulfills that promise.

His life experiences include a teacher of bodywork technique, a singer, a massage therapist, a numerologist, a practicing Buddhist, a hypnotherapist, an insurance underwriter, a photographer, a small-town postmaster, a graduate of the University of California, an ethnic folk dancer, and the recipient of a PhD. in Esoteric Philosophy and Hermetic Medicine (not necessarily in that order).

Jim has a keen interest in how the disease process enters the body, and how all illness can be traced to an entrenched belief system owned by the individual being affected. He finds that the vehicle of Kundalini yoga is the perfect method for not only healing the body and mind, but a proven method for healing the spirit.

Presenting the material in an easy-to-understand and heart-oriented style, he will guide you in performing Kundalini Yoga exercises in accordance with your individual body’s tolerance and needs in a safe and comfortable environment.
