Yoga Shack

Sports and physical activity has always been a passion for me.  Playing provincial level hockey and volleyball in my teens led to a university career where I graduated with an honours degree in Human Kinetics and Movement Sciences.  It was during this time that I was first introduced to Yoga and its powerful benefits for the body, mind and spirit. Over time I felt a personal and physical transformation and enjoy a shared love of yoga with my wife and family.

I have completed teacher training with Baron Baptiste (Power Yoga), Paul Grilley (Yin Yoga), Janice Clarfield (Prenatal) and Sherry LeBlanc (Yoga4Kids) and continue to be inspired by my teachers including David Swenson, Erich Schiffman, and my wife Lisa Shackelton.

When I'm not at the Yoga Shack, I am a Vice-Principal with the Thames Valley District School Board and have recently started my Master of Education in School Leadership and Adult Education.  I am a London Knights season ticket holder and enjoy following my favourite soccer team the Glasgow Rangers.

I feel so blessed to be married to such a beautiful and amazing woman who had the courage and vision to open Yoga Shack in her childhood neighbourhood of Wortley Village.  I continue to be amazed by the dedicated students at Yoga Shack.  They bring such great energy and life to Old South.
