I am a full-time Yoga teacher who has also been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for the past decade. I am a BJJ brown belt, and also hold a Roufusport Muay Thai purple belt. I train out of the Canadian Fighting Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Duke Roufus first affiliate school.

Passionate about health and fitness, I was first introduced to Yoga in 2010 after suffering from a series of marital arts related injuries that required him to take a break from training. Years later, I've not stopped practicing and am now a Nosara Yoga Institute trained Yoga teacher with many years of Yoga teaching experience.

I currently teach a wide variety of Yoga and fitness classes at a variety of locations throughout Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. My Yoga class styles include Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Self-Awakening Yoga, Core 26 Hot Yoga, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Pranassage. My integrative yoga classes usually incorporate elements of all these various styles.

MISSION: It is my mission to help other improve their lives with the power of Yoga, for the good of all.
