Jim Coughlin, E-RYT
Business Manager & Yoga Teacher

Jim Coughlin, E-RYT: Jim was introduced to yoga in 1967 at the age of 10. He began practicing yoga in earnest in 1993. Jim has travelled to India extensively to expand his knowledge of yoga with his teacher H.S. Arun. Jim teaches yoga with a sense of humor and grounded in the fundamentals of the Yoga Sutra's of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar.


Jim was born in Buffalo, New York in 1957, and has lived in California since 1964.  Jim's "other" career has been as an executive recruiter.  He has managed and owned several staffing companies since 1989.  He also has worked as a career counselor and outplacement consultant.

In 1985 Jim met Kate and it changed his life forever. They were married in May of 1987.  In 1990 Jim and Kate had twin girls. 

In 2005 Jim had the privilege of traveling to India several times over the next three years.  It was during this time that he met his beloved teacher and friend Yoga Praveena H.S. Arun from Bangalore, India. 

You will find Jim practicing at the studio at 6:00 a.m. every day except Sundays when he sleeps in and teaches the 8:30 a.m. class.
