Meet Gyata

I’m an author, tennis coach, yoga teacher and life coach, living in upstate New York. I strongly believe that both tennis and yoga changes peoples lives for the better. This is certainly true for me. And for tennis players who want to continue to play into their 80s and beyond, yoga is a key practice.

As a tennis coach, I specialize in introducing adults to the game and developing doubles players. My coaching style blends tactics (how to play the game), technique (the tennis strokes), movement, and mind/body awareness. My book, On the Ball: Doubles: Tennis Tactics for Recreational Players, is the culmination of more than a decade of study and experience gained through practice, competition and coaching.

As a yoga teacher, I emphasize breath, core work, strength and correct alignment. Each class is different, and focuses on body areas that need attention: hips, shoulders, back and neck. I teach at the Manlius YMCA in Manlius NY
