Baxter Bell, MD, RYT 500

Baxter is Co-Director of the Piedmont Yoga Studio’s Deep Yoga Training Program.  He teaches the anatomy portion of the program, as well as sessions on Yoga Technique and Yoga Methodology.  He also offers a weekly Back Care yoga class here at PYS (see below), as well as a full schedule of public classes though out the East Bay.  Baxter completed his yoga training here at PYS in the AS2000 program, a 680 hour training that ran from Jan. 2000-June 2001. His teaching is influenced by his teachers in that program, as well as Donald Moyer and TKV Desikachar, and by his medical background in Family Medicine and Medical Acupuncture.  These aspects and his great love of the asana and movement create a unique experience in each class. Having begun his own practice with great limitations in flexibility, Baxter can appreciate his beginning student's struggles with sincere compassion.   His students say they appreciate his clarity of instruction and playful sense of humor.
