In 2004, Todd Boman left a career in the fashion industry and traveled to India for six months. It was in Mysore that he met his teacher, R. Sharath Jois. Todd has made 18 trips to Mysore, accumulating close to four years studying closely with Sharathji until his passing in November 2024.

Todd was fortunate to be with his teacher from the humble beginnings in his mother’s Saraswathi’s living room to KPJAYI and SYC shalas. He has completed two special teacher courses and earned the highest distinction of certification. Todd is honored to teach the Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced A series of Ashtanga yoga.

Today, Todd feels a deep calling to keep his teacher’s memory alive through his own practice and teaching. For him, Ashtanga yoga has been a powerful tool for transformation, supporting his journey through addiction recovery, self-acceptance, and the discovery of genuine joy in everyday life.

Todd has maintained daily Ashtanga practice for 24 years. His 17 years of teaching are rooted in compassion, consistency, and humor, creating a supportive space for students to learn, grow and discover their own highest potential.
