Body Movement has always been an important part of my life philosophy in health and wellness. I been fortunate to learn and been inspired by many great teachers and coaches. I have deepened my knowledge areas of interest, which I like to teach and share. I have received certification in meditation based stress reduction, YTT 200 hour + YTT 300 hour in the style of Jonny Kest@ LifePower Yoga, Ashtanga intensives and workshops through Ashtanga Toronto, Psychological & Crisis Intervention Teacher Certification and various martial art and sport certifications.
I began a medical career as a Paramedic in Toronto in 1984. I have been involved in Emergency First Response and Healthcare for over 35 years, as a Paramedic (retired), Healthcare Educator and business owner.
Now in the winter of my life I would describe myself as yogi, husband, father, mentor, student and athlete. Striving to be my best self. My intention is pursue new areas of knowledge which continue to benefit myself and others.
I am particularly interested in how yoga, movement and mindfulness enhance mental health and improve quality of life. Movement, breath and mindfulness are key pillars in my own emotional well-being. Yoga has inspired me to support individuals dealing with anxiety, addiction, trauma, stress, illness, and depression and to encourage more men towards Yoga and movement based practices.
