Hi, I'm the Swami Salami. Or that's what my disciples like to call me. My hobbies include Origami, making hand-crafted Chinese kites (not the fighting kites, but the lovable ones) and my kundalini...... NO! seriously. My name's Rob Ogle and I'm the only one that refers to myself as the Swami Salami. Why? Because I've met some pretty pompous yoga instructors with ridiculous bios and photos of themselves doing some difficult yoga postures over picturesque scenery in Costa Rica or Big Bear who take themselves far too seriously. Although I joke about being the Swami Salami, I don't joke about yoga. I teach the Atma Vikasa system of traditional Hatha yoga developed by Yogacharya Venkatesh in Mysore, India. www.atmavikasa.com I conduct classes in both Chinese and English concentrating on standing postures, back bending, forward bending, twists, abdominal postures and inversions during which I place emphasis on breathing. I teach my students how to release tension and concentrate on their breath while their bodies are under stress. Hopefully they can then incorporate the lessons I teach in class into their daily lives.

大家好，我的學生都叫我臘腸老師。我沒有什麼特別的興趣，平時喜歡摺紙、做可愛的手工風箏、及Kundalini。 開玩笑-lah！ 我的名字叫 Rob Ogle，也只有我自己叫我為臘腸老師。因為有許多的瑜珈老師都太嚴肅了。把自己的介紹寫得超級利害，然後又拍些高難度動作的照片來唬人！有點可笑！雖然我很愛開玩笑，但我對瑜珈是很認真的。我教的是屬於Atma Vikasa係傳統式的Hatha瑜珈，發自於Mysore, 印度。我通常以中文與英語教課，從基本動作開始、站姿、前後彎姿、等等．．．但最重要是教學生們如何將瑜珈的精神及動作融入日常生活中好好的應用，讓自己更健康。
