Join Damien for 60 minutes of Bikram-style Yoga practiced in a heated room on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays!

Drop-ins always welcome! No registration required. If you have any injuries, are pregnant, have high blood pressure, or have any cardiac conditions, please consult with Damien before practicing. About Damien: A close friend first introduced Damien to Bikram yoga in the spring of 2008, when a studio opened in Kitchener-Waterloo. He immediately fell in love with this yoga and has been practising consistently ever since. He completed his teacher training a year later in the fall of 2009. After years of competitive sports and suffering with the resulting injuries, Damien was initially drawn to the healing properties of the practice. Damien now practices more for the mental and emotional stability that comes naturally with a consistent, precise and intense practice. Damien spends a good portion of his time thinking and talking about bodies, how they move and how when used mindfully with good posture they function optimally. Damien teaches with an effort to bring a calming energy to his classes and hopes to convey that in spite of the series being physical demanding. There is a meditative side that comes with control of the breath and stillness of the mind. Favourite pose: Triangle Pose Favourite quote: Continuous effort and endless relaxation are the twin attainments (of asana, in particular, or yoga in general).
