It's all about community
I am very passionate about yoga, both the physical practice and beyond. The body is an amazing system that has the ability to heal itself but often needs support from the outside and I believe that yoga is part of that healing system for the soul, mind and body. Having my own yoga studio helps to fulfill my vision of making yoga accessible to every body. There is no one size fits all - we are all individuals with individual needs. I'm also a huge believer in community. Humans thrive when they are part of a community of like-minded people. Welcome to our community.

My approach to yoga is to be sensitive of the body, heart, and mind. By simply coming to our mats and breathing consciously, perhaps working with postures and perhaps not, we can begin to create a space where we feel safe and calm. When we can be more focused and start to let go of the world beyond our mat (even for just 5 minutes), we can begin to inhabit ourselves – not just passively noticing our breath and body but really feeling our breath and body. Then slowly we learn to how to take the feelings we create on the mat, off the mat and out into the world.

I believe this practice has always been patiently waiting for me to find it and when we finally made contact it felt like answering a very deep call that had always been there. It did not take long for me to dive in wholly and completely and since then yoga and meditation have been the centre of my life’s work and inspiration.
Yoga is a privilege to share because it bridges sensitivity and its silver linings, empowering people in the most honest and loving way by encouraging them to honour themselves where they are at. We are all undergoing growth and development at all times, and I am inspired to support you along the way!

For Kevin, yoga is the practice of life. It provides the method, training ground and reality for fully and consciously moving through the world, for encountering all of life's twists and turns with grace, intelligence, and respect. To have the opportunity to develop precision and discrimination as this reflection is observed is something Kevin intends to make the most of and one he feels all should have equal access to put to practice. He enjoys communicating his contemplations and reflections in a variety of posture class types--foundations, restorative, dynamic--each having their own unique value for self-discovery. His specialty is combining gongs and other instruments to create soundbaths, which are combined with the practice of yoga nidra and meditation.
