Conrad began studying yoga six years ago and gravitated to the practice of Anusara yoga for its practical yet radical philosophy of self-affirmation. After graduating from Columbia University with a degree in East Asian Studies, Conrad spent two years living and teaching in China, first as an English teacher in Xinjiang and then teaching yoga in southern China. In January of 2011, Conrad came to Singapore, where he teaches exclusively at Verita Advanced Wellness. Conrad has studied Anusara extensively in his hometown of New York, and with Anusara founder John Friend, including on scholarship from Anusara Yoga in Tokyo in April, 2010. He has been an Anusara-Inspired teacher since October, 2010. The vibrancy and dynamism of life in Singapore and Southeast Asia fuels Conrad’s teaching, which he combines with concise alignment instructions to encourage his students to deeper revelations in their bodies and in their hearts. Conrad is grateful for the support of his family, the continued mentorship of his teacher Zhenja LaRosa, and the guidance he has received from the growing yoga community in Asia.
