Reggie is the
founder/chief serving officer of Active Peace Yoga. His yoga and
meditation practice was born of curiosity and forged while seeking to alchemize
and process extreme professional adversity. Through discipline, focus,
dedication to cultivating compassion and serving others, his practice has
become a lesson in
witnessing the miracles that exist in commitment to personal peace of mind and
wellbeing in the present moment.
Reggie
shares his practice in service to helping people navigate this thing called
life with more creativity, authenticity, peace and ease. He has
extensively studied with leading teachers in yogic, meditative and dharmic
disciplines while also remembering that the best teacher is an eternal
student. He is a graduate of the MMTCP (Mindfulness Meditation
Teacher Certification Program) 2023 cohort and is always seeking new ways of
sharing ancient wisdom to modern audiences.
Through Active
Peace Yoga, he offers asana and meditation classes to help others nurture
peace of mind, creativity, equanimity in spirit and physical health - helping
people nurture well-being as foundational, rather than an afterthought. Reggie has taught Members of Congress,
Congressional Staff, major labor unions, leading progressive organizations and
individuals from all walks of life - simple tools for managing stress and
bringing peace to mind, body and spirit. Active Peace also offers
strategic guidance on creating healthier cultures and organizational norms
rooted in wellbeing, compassion and results.
Reggie's life work sits at the intersection of bringing
more peace and balance to activists; guiding the wellness community toward
being more engaged, concerned citizens; and, enhancing the well-being of
all walks of life. Achieving this balance is how we catalyze
transformative change in our society, which we are desperately in need of at
this moment. He also is passionate about justice, equity, diversity and
inclusion (JEDI); normalizing grief and loss; and, sharing healing rituals with
marginalized communities to enhance our collective well-being.
In
addition to his teaching practice, Reggie has held many senior strategic
and logistical roles across a variety of fields, ranging from global marketing,
digital and community organizing, government relations, international education
to Presidential campaigning. He is a featured speaker on
politics, strategy, wellbeing, social justice, and civic engagement for leading
publications, podcasts and platforms including: Be Here Now Network, The Hill,
Mind and Life Institute, Sedona Yoga Festival, SoundsTrue Foundation, Upaya Zen
Center, Wanderlust, the Wellbeing Project, Yoga Alliance, Yoga International
and Yoga Journal.
He received a
B.A. in philosophy from Yale University and an MBA in international strategy
from the Vlerick Business School in Belgium. You
