Milwaukee Native Ryan Hader (Nataraja) has been immersed in yogic study for 8 years in Denver, Colorado. Ryan has developed Nataraja Yoga, a unique way of bringing practitioners of asana away from the chatter of the mind and into the timeless gift of presence by focusing on the meditative, or subtler aspects of the physical yoga practice. Ryan facilitates yoga classes focusing on healing, postural alignment, personal empowerment, deep inner peace and inspiration. Ryan's guidance is influenced by the teachings of Anusara, Baptiste Power, and Maha-Shakti.

Having deaf parents, Ryan has a long time goal of bringing yoga to the hearing-impaired, and he is currently developing a program specific to the needs of the deaf community.
