“Live up, never give up.”

—bob marley

Max first started practicing yoga in 2012 as a way to exercise without aggravating a torn labrum in his hip. The doctors told him that he was not allowed to run or ice skate again, which was devastating since he grew up playing ice hockey, rugby, and cross country running. So, he decided to give yoga a try and it was much harder than he thought it would be! Over time, Max’s practice began to shift from a mode of exercise to a holistic and spiritual journey. Max has also been meditating for nearly 20 years, and adding yoga to his life has enhanced his meditation. In early 2021, he started a year-long Yoga Teacher Training with Janet Stone, a highly respected teacher with over 30 years of experience. The training was transformational - his biggest shift was to understand the philosophy behind the practice, which is really the WHY behind everything that we do. The WHY is to connect and align - with his deepest self, with his community, and with the Universe. Max now steps onto his mat with a new mindset behind the movements. In early 2022, he became a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher.
