About Scotty

Scotty Holding earned a Master of Architecture degree and worked as an apprentice architect before his interests gradually led him in a different direction. His background in architecture continues to influence the way he approaches art, movement, and the human body.

In 1993, Scotty began practicing yoga, which became an important part of his daily life. He traveled to Mysore, India, three times to study Ashtanga Yoga with K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois. He later taught yoga and continued exploring traditional approaches to health and movement.

In 1996, he began studingThai healing techniques in the jungles north of Chiang Mai, Thailand with the Lahu people and received certification from the Asokananda. His education continued through Structural Integration (Rolfing), European osteopathic traditions, Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), and training with the Atlasprofilax Academy in Switzerland.

Over the past 30 years, Scotty has accumulated more than 30,000 hours of experience working with the human body.

Outside his practice, Scotty is a lifelong artist. He began painting seriously in the early 1990s, exhibiting his work in galleries in Santa Fe and Telluride. Painting remains an important part of his life, alongside his continuing interests in yoga, mma, and cooking.

His background in architecture, art, and the study of the human body reflects a lifelong curiosity about structure, balance, and movement.
