I hold both a private pilot\u2019s license for airplanes and sailplanes. I have achieved remarkable heights while soaring sailplanes, exceeding 16,000 feet, and have experienced flights lasting over five hours.<\/div>\n<div>2.I\u2019ve actively participated in cross-country races within the aviation community.<\/div>\n<div>3.I have a degree in aeronautical engineering from Embry-Riddle University in Daytona, FL.<\/div>\n<div>4.I enjoy windsurfing, rowing, and backpacking, and I\u2019m a member of the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club.<\/div>\n<div>5.Weight has been a lifelong challenge for me, and I understand the realities of practicing yoga without having a perfect body. Specifically, forward folds and Twisted Chair pose can be physically demanding for me, making it difficult to breathe comfortably.<\/div>\n<div>6.I\u2019ve been a longtime member and volunteer for Southeast Greyhound Adoption (SEGA). My wife and I currently have two greyhounds (and a Belgian Tervuren Sheepdog).<\/div>\n<div>7.I ran a half marathon in 1993 (1:34) and a full marathon in 2009 (4:41).<\/div>\n<div>8.I donated 14 inches of my hair to charity after not cutting it for three years!<\/div>\n<div>9.I grew up in Upstate NY and enjoyed outdoor activities at our camp on the Great Sacandaga Lake Reservoir.<\/div>\n<div>10.I prefer warmer climates and settled in Atlanta after college.<\/div>\n<div>11.I met my wife Shanna (pronounced like\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"an1\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/15.0\/1f34c\/72.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf4c\" data-emoji=\"\ud83c\udf4c\" aria-label=\"\ud83c\udf4c\" \/>) in the Lockheed B-2 parking lot in 1986. We got married three years later.<\/div>\n<div>12.As a child, I enjoyed unconventional sandwiches like peanut butter and jelly with liverwurst, sometimes with chips and pickles.<\/div>\n<div>13.I love cooking and am a fan of Alton Brown, e.g., ginger snap cookies\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"an1\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/15.0\/1f468_200d_1f373\/72.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf73\" data-emoji=\"\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf73\" aria-label=\"\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf73\" \/>.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>14.All my grandparents emigrated from Germany in the 1920s, and I embrace my German heritage.<\/div>\n<div>15.I repaired a Lockheed L-1011 in Japan for three months and have visited nine European countries.<\/div>\n<div>16. I had a mystical experience a few years ago which opened my mind to explore consciousness and spirituality beyond the physical realm.<\/div>\n<div>17. Material possessions hold less meaning for me now, and I focus on new experiences and helping others.<\/div>\n<div>18. I&#8217;m an introverted individual, often quiet but with a constantly active mind. Stepping in front of a yoga class pushes me beyond my comfort zone, yet I can sense personal growth with each experience.<\/div>\n<div>19. Minivans are my favorite &amp; I don\u2019t even have kids \u2026 versatile vehicles, offering space for people, dogs, and cargo at a reasonable cost.<\/div>\n<div>20. My picture appeared in the National Enquirer twice, holding wreckage from JFK Jr.\u2019s accident investigation.<\/div>\n<div>21. Yoga is primarily for my mental and spiritual well-being, with physical benefits as a bonus. \u00a0I am grateful for the support and guidance of fellow yoga teachers and students who contribute to my journey.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 + 1 things about one of our amazing yoga teachers, Bill Herderich.
