Tom Griffith

Tom Griffith has many interlocking interests and accomplishments that inform his yoga teaching. He graduated from the Yoga on High basic teacher training program in 2005, the same year he received his Ohio State Medical Board license for Massage Therapy. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Art History focused on Buddhist art and philosophy. And he has taken ongoing yoga teacher training with Tim Miller and Richard Freeman, both powerful mimics, storytellers and inspired teachers. His massage practice illuminates his yoga practice by increasing his ability to understand correct physical alignment and biomechanics and the anatomy underlying them. His movement experience includes years of practicing yoga and other movement arts such as Tai Chi, and he has taught Ashtanga and alignment-based classes to students of all levels.

Tom is grateful to Martha, Marcia and Linda for their insight, encouragement and support and is pleased to be part of the community of teachers and practitioners at Yoga on High. In addition to teaching public classes, Tom will be acting as proctor in the 2009-2010 basic teacher training program.
