Armen Menechyan is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher who has also completed over 300 additional hours in therapeutic and somatic movement practices, as well as mindfulness-based meditation practices. Deeply passionate about the therapeutic benefits of Iyengar yoga, the special touch he brings to this practice is felt from his solid knowledge of anatomy, alignment, and the human mind.

Armen has been in the teaching profession since 2005 with a Masters of Arts in Education from Columbia University. It was in search of his own healing of chronic physical pain that he left his teaching career and pursued a contemplative life. A life of ease, joy and reducing suffering is how he chooses to live.
