He has crafted a keen eye for assessing, understanding and treating human movement, having had extensive careers in both professional dance and yoga instruction prior to becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2017.

He proudly graduated with honors from Cortiva Institute in Seattle, WA and pursued more knowledge at Pacific College of Health and Science right here in NY state. His yoga lineage draws from both Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and T.K.V. Desikachar and is bolstered by many contemporary scholars, professionals and practitioners. Kyle enjoys exploring human movement in the laboratory of his own body and finds many ways to stay in motion; Dance, yoga asana, running, biking, Aikido, hiking, weightlifting, and calisthenic training are some of his favorites.
