Phil Bivens has been teaching yoga for fourteen years after discovering the benefits of yoga as a regular student. After realizing the power of yoga to keep his life balanced and healthy, he was inspired to help others find their paths. Phil likes to say yoga is his full-time job, but it does not pay the bills, so he has this 40-80 hour-per-week part time job that does. Part time you can find him at Alcatel-Lucent wearing many hats as software architect, software design, software coder, tester, software-hardware integration and now customer technical support. 

 
While teaching yoga, his goals as a teacher are two-fold: to make sure that each student leaves feeling better (physically, emotionally, and mentally) than when they came to class as well as to challenge each student to mindfully and safely expand their limits.
