Kiam is a Registered Yoga Teacher (Yoga Alliance RYT-200) who received his training at the Mount Madonna Center in Watsonville, CA, under the guidance of Baba Hari Dass (“Babaji”), a silent monk from India. Kiam’s yogic philosophy centers around honoring each person’s varying capacities, limits, abilities, and finding balance and peace in any present situation.
Kiam served in the US Navy for seven years as a nursing assistant and a respiratory therapist, which ignited his personal calling for helping others through breath work. He is also a practicing visual and performance artist. He has lived in the Philippines, Japan, and Spain and has traveled extensively throughout Europe and Central America. He teaches yoga in English and Spanish and enjoys art, travel, and cooking.
