Luke Ketterhagen

Back to presenters
Luke graduated magna cum laude with a degree in biomedical sciences from Marquette University. Then, he immersed himself in the study and practice of yoga, meditation and natural health for over seven years while in residence at the Himalayan Institute.  After that intensive, Luke began teaching classes, workshops and teacher training programs specializing in hatha, meditation, and lifestyle. 

​Luke's teacher, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, has always inspired him to share the knowledge of yoga - breathing, relaxation, meditation, health and wellness - in a practical way that will help bring equanimity and balance to people's lives.  Luke lives in New York, leads excursions to India and teaches nationally and internationally.
For almost 18 years I have been blessed to share the gift that yoga and meditation gave to me.  Yoga is based on a simple yet profound message.  To learn about yoga is to learn that you are responsible for yourself. You are responsible for your own happiness. And you can achieve that happiness through the systematic methods of this ancient Tradition and the company of fellow seekers.

Through study and practice you will see who you really are, as you are; outside of any pre-existing circumstances or roles.  Without fail you then begin the journey to not only accepting yourself, but loving yourself in the process.
I believe in the goodness and joy in the human spirit.  I believe in the ability of people to impose their own personal will and discipline on themselves to make change.  I believe that happiness is possible when the faith in one's inner joy is skillfully wed with human effort.  We all have incredible capacity. Through the practice we can realize it.
