Wayne Krassner
Instructor of Yoga Asana, Vinyasa, Pranayama, Meditation and Thai Yoga Massage

Born November 13, 1965

Wayne Has always had a passion for movement and a fascination with stillness. He began playing sports and doing exercise at an early age. Since about the age of 12  he was involved in swimming, 

calisthenics, martial arts, dance.and fitness training.

Wayne has been a vegetarian since he was 23, he began yoga at 25 and Qi Gong / Tai Chi at 32.

As a young boy he practiced Meditation unaware of what exactly he was doing and later in his early thirties he immersed himself in meditation practices. Practicing Kabbalah, Buddhist and Yogic principles and techniques. Upon a realization at the age of 37 he derived his own simple and profound technique to share this powerful and beneficial practice with everyone. Expanding Love Consciousness

He practices yoga daily to live better, to be a better person, to live in peace and harmony within himself, with others and with nature.

As a practitioner and a teacher he see's the goal of yoga is to help people transcend limits and increase physical and mental ability. 

Wayne has been practicing traditional yoga since 1991 and have trained with many 'masters' in many styles and he finds value in all of them. (see the list below)

In 1997 Wayne created the first Ashtanga primary series yoga poster with audio CD. 

In 1998  he opened Shakti Yoga Loft the first official Ashtanga Yoga school in Florida in Miami Beach. Expanding the reach of this awesome practice and attracting celebrity clients including Madonna, Slyvester Stallone, Courtney Love, Lenny Kravitz, Goldie Hawn, William Orbit, Desmond Child and a host of other high profile people including professional athletes, politicians and corporate executives.       

Some quotes from students

"Wayne is an extremely knowledgable and compassionate teacher who brings out the best in his students." 

"Wayne kicks ass, he is the real deal"

Wayne is a noble and experienced teacher who shares his love and passion for yoga to his students, seeding in us the desire to learn.
