Sri Hari Moss Yoga

 Sri Hari began his yoga journey in 1989 under the guidance of Swamini Turiyasangitananda, founder and director of The Vedantic Center and Sai Anantam Ashram. Her instruction in sacred music, vedantic studies, meditation, and Bhakti Yoga for nearly two decades profoundly influenced his life's path. 

Since beginning his teaching practice in 2004, Sri Hari has earned both 200-hour and 500-hour certifications. With a focus on cultivating an awareness of the body, mind and breath working together harmoniously, Sri Hari’s classes offer students an inspired understanding of yoga through diverse techniques and styles. Through carefully planned sessions, Sri Hari guides practitioners of all levels on a personal—and often playful—journey toward newfound awakening of energy and physical opening.

To deepen his understanding of yoga's role in optimal health and wellness, Sri Hari enrolled in the Yoga Therapy program at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. His extensive background in Shiatsu Amma (a Japanese finger pressure therapy similar to acupuncture) and advanced yoga practice earned him direct admission into the third year of their four-year program.

Sri Hari enriches his classes with vibrant stories from Hindu culture, personal anecdotes, and sacred texts. He encourages students to smile, laugh, and find the "Rasa" (Sanskrit for "juice" or "essence") in their practice. As he often says, “Yoga practice is transformative; what we learn in practice becomes part of our lives. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish if you are willing to feel sensation, face challenges, live in the moment, and breathe life into everything you do.”

Sri Hari is co-founder of Yoga Upstairs in Agoura Hills, California.
