Meet All Teachers

I started my Yoga path in 2013 when I took my first class to "be more flexible".  It was then that I was introduced to Yoga Tune Up® and The Roll Model® Method and fell in love.  With the introduction of both, I discovered so much more and realized that there is an even greater benefit to Yoga than just being flexible.  Although flexibility is important, building muscle strength and stability are equally as important.  I love guiding students how to down regulate their nervous systems with functional breathing,  Yoga Tune Up® techniques and movement to target

Yoga  and Yoga Tune Up® have led to never-ending discoveries about my body and mind.  As a career-driven Type A personality, yoga has given me balance in my life.  The breath, movement, and spirit of yoga brings new delights with each class that I take, each class that I teach and each training that I undertake.

I live to learn more as I practice and teach.  Please join me on the mat in Ottawa at Yoga Kala, Inner Soul Yoga & Cycle or Willow Wellness. 

As a competitive high school athlete, Max developed several chronic over-use injuries that left him on the sidelines for his senior year. His journey of fixing these injuries over the past 6 years has taught him the value in integrating one's movement practice -- be it sports, yoga, or any other kind of exercise -- with body work. He has developed a passion for self-myofascial release and its therapeutic effects, especially in combination with strategic stretching, correct posture, and a balanced lifestyle.
