Ford Peck

Ford was born and raised in the Midwest, then attended school and college on the East Coast for seven years. His interest in meditation was first sparked when, at the age of 16, he attended a lecture by a researcher from Beth Israel Hospital’s Mind Body Group. He practiced their “relaxation response” in both high school and college and began to discover that it could bring about an experience of deeply centered peacefulness and joy.

Ford began practicing yoga in 1986. He moved to San Diego in 1988 where he lived and worked at a meditation and yoga center for three years. He began teaching yoga in 1990.

Ford’s interest in spirituality has led him to study with numerous teachers over the years, including Gangaji, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ammachi, and Adyashanti.
All of these teachers have helped cultivate in Ford a love of direct spiritual discovery beyond any belief system or dogma.

Ford has made three trips to India which were dedicated to deepening his study of yoga, meditation, and spirituality. On his second trip to India, he discovered and fell in love with Tibetan Buddhist meditation which he has studied and practiced intensively.

Ford’s yoga teaching is inspired by his love of meditation, and he strives to bring a meditative awareness to the flow of his classes. He has found that bringing this quality of awareness to yoga practice can allow an exquisite opening to take place in body, mind and emotions. This opening can reveal great well-being and love which can then inspire how we live our lives.

Ford has a private practice in massage therapy, private yoga instruction, and spiritually-based life coaching. For more information, you may contact him directly at fordpeck@hotmail.com or 858-205-0096.
