Since 2009, I have been sharing the practice of yoga in the Iyengar tradition here in Vancouver. As a certified Iyengar yoga teacher, I tailor my teaching to meet each individual’s capacity, offering opportunities to deepen their understanding through thoughtful adaptations, progressions, and contemplations. I regularly study with the Iyengar family, continually drawing inspiration from their vast knowledge and wisdom.
Outside the yoga studio, you’ll often find me enjoying the serene ocean on a stand-up paddleboard at Jericho Beach or spending quality time with my family, friends, and my dog, Richard.
A little more about me…
I grew up in Quebec and earned my degree from McGill University. My career in information technology took me across various industries in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, with a memorable interlude in Tokyo where I taught ESL.
An active lifestyle has always been integral to who I am. My journey with yoga deepened when I experienced the profound truth of B.K.S. Iyengar's words: "Yoga does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees."
Yoga gave me tools to enhance my performance in all areas of life, offering a sense of calm and centeredness. It brought relief from long-standing pain and imbalances caused by a cycling-car accident in my twenties. More recently, it was invaluable in my recovery from a fifth metatarsal spiral fracture.
After years of dedicated study, practice, and certification assessments, I transitioned from my career in industry to teaching yoga, sharing the transformative benefits of the Iyengar tradition with others.
