I teach a very classical form of hatha yoga involving asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), relaxation and meditation which is well-received by students and easily adapts to all skill levels from beginners to advanced.

I have been teaching classes, courses and workshops on yoga and meditation for the past twelve years in the lineage of Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnu-devananda, in Toronto, India, the US, Sri Lanka and Iran. I am an Advanced certified yoga instructor who has taught workshops and given lectures on all aspects of yoga philosophy as well as been the main Hatha Yoga teacher on residential teachers’ training courses at ashrams in India and Canada since 2006.

The whole teaching is an unfolding. Just as the artist makes you see beauty in something you take as commonplace, so the teacher makes you see yourself. ˜Swami Dayananda Saraswati
