Lucas began his career as a Tae-Kwon Do Instructor. After a major accident, including spinal injury and broken bones, his life changed significantly. In the years following, he suffered from chronic pain and depression.

Lucas managed his pain with medication and alternative therapy until one of his martial arts students invited him to his first Bikram Yoga (now known as Hot 26) class. Exercise had always made Lucas feel better, but there was something different about the Bikram practice that kept him coming back over and over. It proved to be one of the most influential choices of his life. There was a lasting healing effect. He began taking medication less often and eventually stopped taking it completely. As time goes by, his past injuries become more and more unrecognizable. He is increasingly more vital and happy.

In 2012, Lucas went to Bikram Yoga Teacher Training and then returned to Massachusetts to teach. He has dedicated himself to introducing others to the healing benefits of connecting their minds with their bodies to improve the quality of their mental, physical and emotional well-being. Through experience, quality mentoring, and continuing education, Lucas expands his understanding of what’s possible when we play an active intelligent role in our own self care and healing. Even outside out the yoga room, it is his passion. During the pandemic, Lucas and his sister started Restore The Balance Life. They use energy healing and energy therapy to help people connect with their inner being. If you are interested, you can find out more about them at www.restorethebalance.life

If you are new to yoga/energy work, here is my advice:
Come as you are and be satisfied with what you can do. Showing up is the first, most important thing. How deep you go and what you allow will vary each day, so let go of forcing an outcome. Make each moment an opportunity of connecting with yourself. Inside of class, be accepting of how you are. Outside of class, appreciate your life.

And always… BREATHE.

Lucas is looking forward to seeing you on your mat!
