Nearly 27 Years
of Practice & Teaching

My practice is rooted in the Himalayan tradition, and my approach is straightforward: you are responsible for your own happiness — and that happiness is completely within reach. Through dedicated study and practice, you begin to recognize your authentic nature, independent of external circumstances.

I believe in the goodness and joy in the human spirit. I have seen what becomes possible when inner faith meets sustained effort — and I have spent nearly two decades helping students find exactly that.

Retreat Testimonials

“Thanks again for a great weekend. It was exactly what I was looking for and what I needed. I took so much away from you.”
Matt H.September 2025 Retreat
“Luke's Yoga and Meditation Retreat was truly life-changing. His ability to create deep group connections made us feel like lifelong friends, comfortable enough to open up and let go. As someone who struggles with anxiety, his relaxation techniques have been a game-changer.”
A.N.Labor Day Weekend 2025
“The whole retreat was everything I expected, and I got to meet great people with whom I am still in touch as of today. You have given me inspiration that will help me go through my grief and healing process.”
Elisabeth G.Labor Day Weekend 2025

Heidi A.December 2022 Retreat
“Your yoga and meditation workshop at Himalayan Institute was fun, easy, and relaxing; and at the same time full of valuable and essential information that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I don't know how you do it!”
