I'm so fortunate, to be able to do what I love, for people who love what I do.
It doesn't matter that I've studied for thousands of hours, with all the living masters. It doesn't matter that I've taught thousands of yoga classes, or what I can do with my body.
Why I teach is so much more about you than me…
but here are the basics:
john Calabria is an ethical Vegan, Certified Wellness Educator, and leading area Yoga instructor – a long-time practitioner of meditation and Yoga techniques. Now a seasoned teacher, years ago, john left a successful engineering career to teach Yoga and help people meet their wellness goals.
"My professional work was challenging, and at times very-rewarding… I was honored to work on some pivotal projects with lasting benefits to our world…
I helped develop the machines that decoded the human genome, launched Amazon.com, made cars much safer to travel in, ended our dependence on live nuclear weapon testing.
but often times it seemed empty. At the end of the day, what was really accomplished? My best efforts were often times corrupted, and I was a very unhappy man. I decided to retire from meaningless work, and committed to only taking on work that made the world a better place, work that allowed me to share the best parts of myself."
Now, I have the best 'job' in the world, helping others to find peace and meaning in their lives. I help them to find out what really matters. This is what I do, this is all I do… this is who I am." -john"
"Yoga with john mends the gap between who you are, and who you'd like to be."
Known for his innovative – uplifting and inspiring classes, john teaches what he lives, and is humbled to be recognized as a leading Boston Yoga instructor.

"We don't choose our calling. It chooses us. Yoga slows us down to the speed of awareness, we attain clear insight into what matters most to us, what we are called to serve. Putting our best efforts towards this, sets us free." -john

Great Michael,
You’re both on the list.
I’m working with SpiritFire in putting together the schedule for classes, meals, free time, rooming info and costs for the retreat. I’ll be sure to send it right out to you when it’s done.
Thanks so much for your note, and I’ll see you in class.

Hey John,
Great class last night at Mystic…thanks! Loved the chat about Hindu naturalism, really interesting about how yoga practice connects us back to the natural world….so cool. Since I started doing Bikram about 6 years ago, and then adding vinyasa, I’ve avoided the “philosphy” of yoga…for me it has always been such a personal experience, as if talking about it too much might break the spell! Plus, with Bikram, you just “do it,” like the Nike ad. Anyway, I find myself interested in learning new ways of experiencing the practice lately, and it is always stimulating having a new teacher. So thank you again, and I hope to see you soon…
Namaste

Hi John,
I will be returning from Maine on Saturday and I’m not sure if I will make it by noon, can I drop off a bag of food? Also the class at Mystic sounds inviting but I’m not sure where it is and if membership is required.
Sorry to have missed class tonight but hope to see you soon.
Namaste,
Marjie

Greetings from El Salvador.
Thanks John, for a few great classes during my visit home. They were exactly what I needed to get back in tune with myself. It is so true that you need to take care of yourself before you can help others.
Good luck in your endeavors and don’t forget to check out idealist.org. Hopefully it will help you find what you are looking for.
Be well,
Laura -
Have a great trip. Please put me on the wait list for your Spiritfire Yoga Weekend.

we are all looking forward to having you back !! happy new year !! I loved the ongoing classes and sharing of experience through your blog, talking about opposites, you are here without being here…
Remember Debbie ? I introduced her to you at one of your beginners’ Monday class. She got a subscription to the Yoga Journal for me as a Xmas gift. In the January issue I found this definition of friendship. Friends are people who connect you to things you have no words for. I thought it apllied to you so much !
Best wishes and blessings for the rest of your trip !Pascale

Hi John:
I have a two year old SUROKAR harmonium brought from Calcutta. It got a few bruises on its way to Boston in a long flight from Calcutta by British Airways. I am not so much woried about the cosmetics, but a couple of keys are making vibrating notes when pressed. Would you please take a look at it and tell me if it is repairable? I live in Lexington, MA. You may call my cell phone 339-203-1181.
On a different note, I used to know a John who was a Yoga instructor, and a very good friend of Satyajit Ghosh of India and his sister Illa Roy, who used to live in Lexington, MA. Are you the same John? If not, please don't mind my askng this question.
Thanks.
