Most people talk about being healthy, but have a hard time making it actionable. I’m in my 60s, feeling amazing, and grateful to be living life to the fullest! What’s my secret?
It all started when…
I decided to trade a career in advertising for a life on the mat. That was almost 30 years ago and I’ve never looked back.
Studying and teaching yoga changed my life. And don’t think I’ve not been challenged constantly… I have worked hard to become the first certified Anusara teacher in Toronto. I also hold an International Iyengar Yoga Certification and am proud to be one of only two people in Canada to have held both of these two prestigious certifications. I have trained in yoga therapy, have developed and directed many Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainings, Anusara Immersions, and was the Director of Programming and Teacher Development for YYoga Toronto.
These days you’ll find me freelancing at various studios in and around Toronto teaching classes and various workshops. Check out the schedule here.
My teaching style is infused with Grace, humour, and alignment and includes principles of Anusara, Iyengar, Ashtanga and Viniyoga in the lineage of Krisnamacharya.
In terms of meditation, I’m an avid Vipassana practitioner.
In terms of health and nutrition, I support a well-balanced approach. I’m vegan and believe, because I’ve seen so many positive results from making that choice, that everyone should be eating primarily plant-based foods.
Not only does my partner in life, Julie Brar - a holistic nutritionist and health coach - offer me sound information and advice, but I work with an amazing team and company out of Los Angeles that is on the forefront of organic and non-GMO superfoods that heal and keep humans healthy.
I’m super passionate about Purium’s products because they’ve yielded profound changes in my own well-being and I’m happy to speak to anyone who is seeking to transform themselves from the inside-out. Feel free to contact me and I’ll share my favourite ways to boost nutrition and overall health.
So I continue to study in this wonderful journey of self!
To be a worthy teacher one must be a great student, and I thank all of my previous teachers for the knowledge and wisdom they have bestowed upon me. B.K.S. Iyengar, Geeta Iyengar, and Prasant Iyengar of Pune, India. B.N.S. Iyengar of Mysore, India. Mahyar Raz, Marlene Mawhinney, Mira Mehta, Ramanand Patel, Ron Reid, David Robson, Derek and Radha, Paul Harvey, Mark Whitwell and other senior teachers in Canada, the United States and Europe.
