YYoga

Where do you teach yoga?

I teach primarily for YYoga now- both the South Granville & Flow Wellness locations. I have also been lucky enough to teach for many other beautiful and supportive studios in Vancouver like Inner Space Yoga, Treloar Studio, The Yoga Practice, Semperviva, Exhale Studio, & Yoga For the People.

What is your favorite type of class to practice?

My favourite type of class to practice is a combination of Flow/Power & Yin. I love blending the elements of strength and release to find a deep, sweet balance in both my body, mind and heart.

What is your favorite lululemon piece?

Wunder Unders!!! They have the most loving mileage of any lulu piece I own, both on and off the mat!

What is the coolest goal you are working on right now?

I have a few on the go right now - one is super top secret ninja styles but everyone will know by January 2013! The other is creating a Yin Yoga Teacher Training program for YYoga which is both an exhilarating and humbling process.

If you could fly anywhere in the world for one day, where would you go and why?

If I was going solo - I would go to Tofino. Each time I go there, something shifts for me. Its like a huge reset button on the inside just arriving on the beach. If I was traveling with my wife Jenni (who is Aussie), it would be Byron Bay in Australia. It is essentially the tropical version of Tofino for me! The first time I went, I got the very same sensation of inner expansion when I stepped onto the sand. Bliss.

What is your contact info, how do people find you?

I am a total internet nerd - so many places
