About your teacher

David has been teaching yoga classes, trainings, workshops and retreats in Canada, Cuba and Europe since 1998. With over 25 years of experience, he will guide you through this program with passion, knowledge and expertise.
In the mid-1990s, David first saw yoga as a natural complement to his dance career and was amazed by the remarkable results of serious, precise and focused training. After suffering a serious back injury in 2005, he turned his back on dance to explore the therapeutic effects of yoga. David first studied vinyasa yoga with Kate Potter in Vancouver, then continued his studies with Hart Lazer in 2007, after moving to Montreal in 2001. He took a yoga therapy course at Mount Royal University, Calgary, and wrote a manual for the yoga teacher training program. David is currently training in Somatic Experiencing® for trauma therapy. As a contemporary dance professional and dynamic, experienced yoga teacher, he draws on his extensive knowledge to offer a profound practice that will help you discover the deepest layers of your body.

À propos: About Us
COME EXPLORE OUR PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL SELVES

It is my desire to create a male oriented environment where we are free to be everything that entails manhood in a non-judgmental environment. Mudraforce Yoga is a space for like-minded men to come together and explore our physical and spiritual selves, cultivating fraternal awareness and consciousness.

There are several classes a week to choose from that offer a variety of challenges regardless of ability; from the slower paced introductory class that introduces the basic alignment principles in any practice, to the more vigorous practice where one can refine these principles to deepen body awareness, increase flexibility and build stamina. In addition to the basic alignment principles, emphasis is placed on working within your physical limitations. You are encouraged to make modifications for your body limitations. By respecting your limits, the mind calms, the body starts to function better, and the practice becomes all the more enjoyable. All classes include meditation, Pranayama (breath work), Asanas (postures), and relaxation.

The two words that form Mudraforce come from the Sanskrit word 'mudra' meaning a hand gesture that seals in an intention into the consciousness, and 'force', as in the life force - or prana - that flows through us. In essence I use the practice of yoga for setting intentions and sealing them into our consciousness. By paring away the layers of expectations and masks, we stay connected to our integrity and through the practice we seal that into our consciousness.
