About Me
My yoga journey began with brief dalliances 4 decades ago, but I became committed to a regular practice in the early 2000s when I began studying the Ashtanga Vinyasa method. Everything changed: my career, my body, my diet. Over the years, I have completed numerous workshops and retreats in various countries with teachers from the Sivananda, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Anusara, Vijnana and Yin lineages. I completed a 240-hour enriched teacher training at the Vancouver School of Yoga, a 50-hour yin teacher training at Semperviva and mentorships at YYOGA and Yoga4StiffGuys.
I am a father, a partner, a runner, a chef, a holistic nutritionist, a personal trainer; my yoga practice is informed by all of these now, it begins with the breath and is about exploring the edges of our mobility and strength while moving our bodies safely.
I look forward to seeing you on the mat!

About Me
A student of yoga since 2005, and my path has been deeply shaped by the intersections of movement, philosophy, and healing. I’ve studied Jivamukti Yoga, trained in trauma-informed approaches, and I’m a continuing student of non-dual tantric traditions, which deeply inform both my personal practice and teaching. As a somatic therapist, I bring a sensitivity to the nervous system into my classes—inviting a pace and presence that supports both embodiment and integration. My teaching is grounded in the belief that practice is not about striving or fixing, but about remembering what’s already healthy and whole. Expect a blend of breath, guided embodiment practices, and spacious inner inquiry.

What can students expect from your class?
In my classes, I aim to create a supportive and challenging space for exploration. I emphasize functional movement, building stability for long-term freedom in body, mind, and spirit. I value balance—challenge and rest, strength and surrender, effort and ease—and I love incorporating music to elevate the vibe! Whether you’re brand new to movement or looking to deepen your practice, I’d love to meet you where you’re at.✌️🪷
About Me
I started my journey through movement as a ballet dancer at the age of four and was introduced to Yoga and Pilates along the way. After I retired from dance my focus shifted to deepening my yoga practice and connecting more to what my body and spirit needed. That led me to completing my 200Hr hatha + Vinyasa training with Yogacara in 2015 and other trainings in YHot, Mat and Reformer Pilates followed.

What can students expect from your class?
Students in my class can expect creative and thematic flows inspired by nature, philosophy, or culture — all within a safe space where they can feel both challenged and empowered.
About Me
I’ve always been deeply passionate about movement, anatomy, and health. As a professional dancer and dance instructor, I’ve had the privilege of continuously engaging with my body and exploring different movement modalities. When I discovered yoga, it became a powerful tool for personal growth. It helped me find stillness, overcome challenges, heal my hormones, and most importantly, reconnect with my body/spirit. Yoga has been transformative for me, and I’m passionate about sharing that same healing and empowerment with others. I hold a BA in Foreign Languages & Cultural Studies from UBC, and I completed my 200-hour YTT with a focus on the Iyengar method. My goal in every class is to create a safe and supportive space where students feel free, inspired, and seen — no matter their experience level.

About Me
I am a Yoga facilitator and a freelance photographer. My life’s dharma is to hold space for others as they witness the strength and softness they already hold and meet them, exactly where they are.
My own Yoga practice has held me as I moved through some of the most challenging experiences of my life, including grief and addiction. It has and continues to remind me to feel and grieve while simultaneously bringing me back to my own courage and resilience. My dedication and devotion as a student of Yoga is what inspires me to be a guide for others to do the same. Like most things in life, my practice has evolved; from intense asana, to diving deeper into the philosophy of Yoga and living the practices off the mat.
Whether someone arrives as a Yoga student or a photography client, I will aim to cultivate an environment that encourages individuals to witness and support themselves. My intention, for you to truly see your own spark.

About Me
After I had to let go of my Great Dane, Echo, I found myself diving into Pilates as a way to work through my grief and find new direction. It felt like Echo was leading me to this practice, so I went on to become a certified instructor in her honor. Every class I teach is a nod to her—reflecting the grace and strength she brought into my life. Now, I’m passionate about helping others discover healing and balance through Pilates, inspired by the same compassion and dedication Echo gave me.
