    Yoga Teacher, Retreat Coordinator, Mentor

    Presently the Co-Manager and Certified Yoga Teacher at Centre Luna Yoga in Old Montreal, as well as an alumni ambassador for Lululemon's Ste-Catherine Street location, I have been an enthusiastic yogi since 1999, and after a massive life/career change in 2008, I began my Ashtanga Yoga Teacher with Darby, Shankara & Joanne. With additional training from Luna Yoga's Jennifer Maagendans, I try to incorporate all my experience and teachings on and off the mat into my yoga classes which offer insight into alignment, breath awareness, and the ability to use laughter to get through the more challenging postures and sequences. In 2013 I completed my IRest Yoga Nidra Level 1 training with Richard Miller, and furthered my experience leading and co-leading yoga retreats in Greece, Mexico, Croatia, Turkey, and The Eastern Townships. I am forever grateful to the Darbys, Jennifer Maagendans, Richard Miller, and Joan Ruvinsky who initially offered illumination on my yogic path.

Things You Only Know If You’ve Taken A Yoga Class

Things You Only Know If You’ve Taken A Yoga Class

1) Yoga holds a mirror up to your face and challenges you to identify what you see.
2) Yoga teachers are like politicians – some are professional bullshit artists, and some are genuinely concerned with making a difference.
3) A yoga class separates those who spew quotes around as a means of defining themselves from those who stay quiet but embody the essence of those quotes.
4) Breathing deeply is way more intense than touching your toes.
5) A good class leaves you with the understanding that the teacher hasn’t taught you anything – he or she has simply reminded you of what you already knew.
6) Staying focused on the moment you’re in is the hardest thing you can do.
7) What your mind believes the body braces itself for.
8) No one is better at getting in your way than you are.
9) People love to examine their toes, given the opportunity.
10) Yoga shifts your perception from what your take on life previously has been to what simply is.
