My study of yoga and acting are inextricably bound together.  In 1971, I began to study yoga at the Integral Yoga Institute in New York City.  At the same time, I began my study as an actor with Stella Adler, a legendary force in theater.  Stella's work was rooted in the coaching she received from Constantine Stanislavski during her time in Paris.  Stanislavski drew heavily upon sensory and emotional memory voicing the text.  Stanislavski's own study of yoga and meditation inspired his use of "the art of experiencing" and the concept of "I am being."  In my studies of yoga and acting, I experienced mental and behavioral transformation in the process of delving into memory, imagination and being-ness.
