It's  My 44th Anniversary in Yoga 
&
33 years as a Yoga Instructor

I'M CELEBRATING !! 
In a Very Special Way 

The Secrets of Yoga 
Awakening the Mystic 

Continuing Ed For Yoga Instructors & Enthusiastic Practitioners

I’ve spent 44 years of my life
immersed in the Mystical path of Yoga  

I had a unique entry into Yoga
 In the beginning of my 20's for  almost 15 years
I was deeply and intensely  immersed
in meditation and Yoga Nidra.
I dedicated my whole life to it.
Nothing came before it.
I didn't socialize,
I had no career aspirations, or life goals
other than to KNOW THE DIVINE
as a living embodied  experience.
I never read a novel,
so as not to get caught up in other peoples stories,
I had enough of my own to work through LOL
and I didn't need an escape.
I was happy and fulfilled.

I  went to movies
if I could have a  long discussion afterwards
with like minded  friends,
to understand the the spiritual significance
of each character
There was nothing else of interest to me........

This may seem restrictive  or even oppressive,
but for me it was like coming home,
and completer voluntary. 

I WAS SO HAPPY 

 Life and every moment was filled
with the massive glory we are intended 
  to experience through yoga,
here on earth.

I was not interested in anything else,
but the moment itself
and the  Divine energy presenting it. 

 All of this  happened  before 
 practising asana,
the physical exercises.  

By the time I did  practise asana,
I had developed
what is called in Yoga,
A STRONG ENERGY BODY.

                                     






I understood the physical movements from a different perspective, a perspective that is aligned with the deeper more mystical teachings of Yoga, and a deeper awareness of Prana ( your life force energy), and Consciousness (your perception of Reality and the the Cosmic Reality Itself )

If you have followed my career
you will know I am a classically trained
in yoga, holding certifications
in classical Hatha Yoga,
Tantric Yoga, and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
My spiritual journey has also led to numerous
initiations in Bhakti Yoga, Kriya Yoga,
Sri Vidya, as well as  living as Karma Sanayasin, wearing the saffron robes,  both in my beloved India and Canada.

I also serve as a Conscious Channel for the Angelic Realm, guiding individuals to free themselves from limiting Karmic Patterns.

And as a musician and a dancer with roots in the NYC Punk Scene, my current artistic expression is a multidimensional offering of music and dance intended to dissolve old heart and mind patterns, inviting us to Live in the Love that we inherently are.

This essence is reflected in the name of my yoga practice, Sananda Yoga, which translates to "with the Bliss of the Goddess."

I travel internationally, sharing these teachings, music, and dance, and spreading the essence of Love.

To celebrate  44 years of Wonder !!! 
I am delighted to offer a very special two-day training in the Secrets of Yoga, this summer in the Toronto area, just outside of Port Hope.
With the opportunity to go deeper, if you wish, in Rishikesh India March 2026

It feels deeply meaningful to be invited to offer the first  training  within the community that I love and that has profoundly supported my own spiritual awakening for so many years.

WHAT TO EXPECT 
New Heights of Transformation and Healing !

This training is designed to elevate your Personal Practice and/or  Teaching to new heights of transformation and healing.

We will delve into the subtle aspects of Prana, and Consciousness, in Yoga practice. Exploring the deeper Energy Pathways, Energy Centres, Esoteric Meanings of practices, Emotions and Elemental Qualities of practices, and Awakenings of Higher Consciousness  related to the various practices of  Asana, Mantras, Pranayama, Mudras, Bandhas   and Meditations.

This is an experiential training,  we will cover theory but first and foremost we will put the teachings into practice, as direct experience is the greatest teacher! 

We will practice  specifically focusing on the unique "secret gifts" of yoga  practice. From this you will gain a comprehensive and direct experience of how these gifts  support personal healing  and the evolution of Consciousness for  yourself,  your  students and community.

THE BENEFITS 
Your Souls Light and Joy will increase in Leaps and Bounds Illuminating Your Life and  Your Journey with Yoga.... it will be hard for anything to appear dull again, you will be touched by the underlying meaning of life in each momemt.

By being aware of  the Higher Consciousness or advanced states of Being that each practice is designed to awaken within you, the power of yoga as a lifestyle journey of transformation  will unfold in incredible and wondrous ways.

Each asana, breath, and moment of yoga is intentionally crafted to guide us toward a deeper connection with the Divine. Within these practices lies the potential to access various dimensions of our Being. We can experience wonderful states of deep relaxation, a harmonious integration of body, mind, and spirit, and  inspiring altered states of consciousness that can be truly life-changing.

This method of  practice will open a new life doorway  and the prana combined with your consciousness becomes the teacher, full of wonder and newness. Each time you practice you will  open to  more subtle and  physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, that offer Awakening and Healing.
