Natasha "Tasha" Judson M.Ed became an Authorized Teacher of Neelakantha
Meditation in 2016. She is grateful for her deep, easeful meditation practice, for the
refined depth of understanding taught in Blue Throat Yoga, and for the opportunity
to grow through service. She served on the Neelakantha Meditation Initiates Guiding
Group, and has taught in Blue Throat Yoga study courses for many years. She has
traveled and led multiple trips to sacred sites in India. Tasha teaches yoga at her
studio in the rural Berkshires of Massachusetts. She is looking forward to once again
co-teaching the transformative course Entering the Heart of Shiva.

Barbara Fugate first began practicing and studying yoga while traveling in India in
1979. During more than 25 years of practicing law in the United States she pursued
her yoga studies, teaching asana for several years. She met Paul in 2009 and was
immediately drawn to his clear and powerful teachings of the non-dual Kashmir
Shaiva tradition, teachings which explore the essence of life itself. She was initiated
into Neelakantha Meditation in 2009 and became an Authorized Teacher in 2016.
She has served Blue Throat Yoga in a variety of roles and is honored to once again
co-teach Entering the Heart of Shiva.

seminars with a focus on his Śiva Sūtra seminars over the last ten years, and as a
mentor for aspiring Neelakantha Meditation teachers. Jay is also a leading teacher in
the hatha yoga school of Anusara yoga. He lived and taught in Europe from 2005-2020
