Ashley & Lydia Rowan

Meeting in the Soviet Union at the First International Unity in Yoga Conference, Ashley and Lydia began a journey to synthesize spirit-body arts to further bridge East and West in the form of inner-realization. Ashley began yoga study with Sivananda, Kundalini and Vipassana meditation techniques. He became certified in White Lotus Flow Yoga, a series of moving postures, and studied asanas and pranayama with B.K.S. Iyengar in India. He also has a teaching background in Tai Chi and qi gong. He appreciates the metaphorical styles of gaia-based teachings and scientific principles to bring balance to different body personalities. Ashley produced Affinity Yoga: A Feeling For All of Life video.

Lydia was professor of Psychology at Moscow State University in Russia and began core study groups in Theosophy and esoteric knowledge while extensively practicing and studying yoga, qi gong, massage, dolphin behavior, geology and archeology. Lydia synthesizes body-awareness techniques with intuitive-mapping, counseling, spirit-quest coaching, qi gong, tai-chi and yoga. She has practiced qi-gong with masters Mantak Chia in Thailand, Xue Ming Tang in China, as well as Dr. Xue Shi Wang and Ken Cohen.
