Yoga Journal: How were you introduced to yoga?
Saul David Raye: My father. He was born in Burma and went to school in India. He wasn’t a serious yoga practitioner, but he did some, and he was always interested in the mystical life. When I watched him do hatha yoga, I was intrigued. Then my first real yoga teacher came to me-a Buddhist monk named Yoga Vachara Rahula, who was a friend of my father’s. I was struck by Rahula’s presence; he was so different from anyone else I knew. When he was in town, instead of going off with my friends on a Friday night-I was in high school then-I would hang out with him. I asked Rahula questions about life and what it all meant. These were my first dharma talks. Later I went to live with him in a monastery for almost a year.
