During this nourishing practice and dharma talk Ryan will relate the ancient wisdom of yoga to modern life and discuss ways to interpret and use yoga practice to create a more peaceful life. Come and enjoy his lighthearted teaching and healing practice style. Be prepared to sink into softness and cultivate self-love and acceptance as Ryan guides you through traditional pranayama, meditation, chanting, and gentle asana. All practice and experience levels are welcome.

Thursday, July 13

6-8 pm

$40 + tax

Dynamic and inspirational, Ryan Leier brings his unique energy and sacred knowledge to every class he teaches. Whether in his own One Yoga studios or as an ambassador of yoga to communities worldwide, his expression of this ancient yet vital tradition consistently touches people's hearts. Ryan's commitment to honouring his teachers leads him to be equally devoted to continuing his studies as to teaching. 

Ryan is primarily a student of the Krishnamacharya yoga lineage, which he has studied extensively with many of the most revered teachers in the modern history of yoga. He was also blessed to have studied directly with BKS Iyengar, a powerful experience that has deeply influenced his practice and teaching.

He maintains his ongoing studies with Srivatsa Ramaswami (Vinyasa Krama) and Father Joe Pereira (Iyengar), both by whom he was authorized to teach and both of whom deeply inform his personal practice as well as his independent study of yoga philosophy and traditional Sanskrit Chanting. Ryan also studies with Baron Baptiste, Eddie Modestini, Nicki Doane, and Danny Paradise.

Drawing inspiration from his deep love for his daughters, Kiyah and Thora Grace, Ryan created Vinyasa Yoga for Youth, an innovative non-profit organization designed to meet the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of youth ages 5 to 22 through the empowering practice of yoga. Ryan's dedication to connecting with his community has also led to his role as a global ambassador for lululemon athletica

Ryan's life and practice have recently been altered by mental health challenges. This intense period of darkness has ignited in him a renewed relationship and passion for sharing the profound healing power of yoga. 

Ryan believes that through steady practice and devotion, all people – regardless of their age, gender, race, or religion, can experience the Oneness of Yoga.

Contact Improv Dance 6 Week Course with Fia and Xiaoyi

  • Taiga Yoga and Therapy Centre (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Contact Improvisation is an open-ended exploration of the possibilities of bodies moving through physical contact. Sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative, it is a form open to all bodies, changing from moment to moment and dance to dance. It is a dance that results from the present moment meeting the different physical realities of each dancer.

This series will dive into the building blocks of Contact Improvisation. Building upon the principles of touch, momentum and weight sharing, we will explore falling, rolling, counterbalance, lifting and being lifted using minimal effort. This practice cultivates trust and responsiveness to our partners and surroundings, and helps us learn to dance in the present moment.

Yin Yoga Teacher Training: Foundations of Yin Yoga with Carly Forest

Taiga Yoga now offering train the trainer trainings! Virtual & Instudio.

The first being a “Yin Yoga Teacher Training: Foundations of Yin Yoga” with the talented Carly Forest, June 25 - 27.

To teach a Yin class that is both safe and informative, a foundational understanding of the purpose and method of Yin is essential. Looking more deeply, however, we see that the unique nature of this subtle practice presents teachers with an opportunity to skillfully guide students through potent and potentially transformative experiences. Training in how to do so with awareness and compassion is key to developing appropriate capabilities as a teacher.

In weaving together insight and experience from a decade of mindfulness training, an immersion in spiritual psychology, and formal education in the energetic anatomy of the subtle body, Carly offers her teacher trainees a deeply holistic approach to leading mindful Yin classes. This focused 15-hour training, open to teachers as well as dedicated practitioners, explores the following:

  • Anatomy

  • Meridian theory

  • Sequencing

  • Safety in postures

  • Basic mindfulness theory

  • The role of the teacher in the community

  • The ethics of teaching

We will discuss safe alignment and targeted strength so that we can learn to approach backbending without any pain. During the practice portion you will learn some front body opening postures that can help create space in your backbends as well as strength drills that will teach your body to work from a place of integrity rather than a place of passive mobility.
