Bo Srey is a Certified Anusara™ yoga teacher (www.spandananda.com). Born in New York City to Cambodian parents, he moved to Singapore in 2005. Having practiced yoga and meditation since 1996, Bo brings a joyful and caring spirit to the yoga practice.

As an undergraduate at the University of Rochester, Bo studied with renowned Indian philosophy scholar, Douglas Brooks. Bo began the practice of hatha yoga because of a life-long study of martial arts and a deep interest in the mystical tradition of the East. His first hatha yoga teacher was Rudrani Farbman. Her wisdom permeated every word she spoke. Bo is truly indebted to her for helping him experience hatha yoga from the inside out.

While teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area, Bo also studied with Tony Briggs, a senior Iyengar Yoga teacher with whom he completed a 1-year Teacher Training apprenticeship. During that time, he deepened his studies with his main teacher, Anusara Founder, John Friend. Bo has studied hundreds of hours with John Friend throughout the United States, Europe, China, Japan and Taiwan. These studies include two, level-1 Teacher Trainings, a level-2 Teacher Training, Master Immersion, therapy trainings and countless weekend workshops on yoga and philosophy. In 2008, Bo followed John Friend on his Light The Sky tour.

Anusara yoga is a style of hatha yoga that reminds students of their true essence, heals the body with powerful and sound biomechanical principles and unifies outer strength with inner joy. Bo's classes reflect the eternal dance of opposite forces: shiva-shakti, yin-yang, concealment-revelation. His classes are challenging, yet fun and light. While teaching precise principles of alignment, Bo constantly encourages students to access their wisdom center, letting the practice reveal each student's joyful nature.

He has taught in major studios in San Francisco, Singapore and Thailand. In addition to public classes, Bo has taught Immersions and Teacher Trainings in Asia and the United States.

Bo and his wife Shirley, an Anusara-Inspired™ yoga teacher, currently live in Singapore. They teach workshops, retreats and teacher trainings throughout the world.

Shirley completed a comprehensive 200 Hour Teacher Training with Tias Little (Prajna Yoga) in 2006 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 2008, Shirley had the great honor of assisting Tias as his apprentice at his Yoga Anatomy Teacher Training and Prajna Immersion in Singapore, as well as at his sessions at the Evolution Asia Yoga Conference in Hong Kong. She has also studied with internationally acclaimed teachers such as, Edward Clark, Ana Forrest, David Swenson, Shiva Rea, Sharon Gannon, David Life and Matthew Sweeney. Shirley has over 2,500 yoga training hours (including over 2,000 Anusara Yoga training hours) since coming to yoga in July 2005.

Shirley travels extensively with Bo and serves as a yoga teacher and events manager at Spandananda. A lover of creative movement and expression of the Heart, Shirley explores the elements of precise alignment, lightness, fluidity and playfulness in her classes. Her main influences are John Friend, Tias Little, and Bo Srey, all of which have inspired her with their search for the Truth and who have lovingly showed her the true essence of teaching yoga.

In her practice, Shirley is an artist, a dancer, a mystic, an inquisitive child, and a courageous warrior. It has been an amazing journey thus far, and she is eternally grateful to all who have walked with her as she travels her path and to those who have shared pieces of their lives with her, each one of them her teacher, each one of them holding up a mirror to show her who she truly is.

To experience life to the fullest, to love, laugh and cry with an open heart, to be able to find the blessing in all of life’s twists and turns - these are the elements of the greatest sadhana. She feels grateful, humbled, and honored to be able to share her love of life and yoga with you.
