Yoga is more than movement-it’s strength, breath, discipline, and direct experience. I share my journey blending tradition, science, and self-mastery.
Follow for insights on yoga, training, breathwork, living with awareness.

Now I’m running far.
Not for medals—
but because I had to learn how to heal.
The hospital didn’t help me move again.
Movement did.
The body remembers.
The body rebuilds.

Summer 2010.
Bike tour across Canada.
This week’s story drops into BC—
Field to Golden.
No place to sleep, but strangers made space.
A random metal bar, too many drinks, and a shift I didn’t notice till later.

It’s about Ironmans, injury, running through ego—and coming back to your own flow.
Whether you train, create, or just live hard…
You might feel this one.

Jasper skies. Dogma in my head. Love beside me.
“That mountain became a crossroads.
One path was acceptance.
The other was rigid devotion.”
This one hurt to write.
But it’s part of the climb.

It helps me listen.
New video on how I use AI as a mirror—especially in the context of neurodivergence, trauma, and creative rhythm.

it’s where the nervous system resets,
the breath returns,
and the body learns how to hold itself again.
This is yoga too.
In the breath. In the pause. In your willingness to stay.
The Power of Stillness

Then from the temple to my grandmother’s house in Lindsay.
Didn’t know it would be the last time I’d see her.
This one’s about land, memory, bhakti, grief.
How the road sometimes teaches what the teachings forget

But what if it’s just a mirror—
and most of us were never taught how to reflect?
108 days. Breath. Ethics. Scrollstream.
The Mirror or the Messiah?

Not for pace. Not for distance. But to remember rhythm.
This isn’t exercise—it’s exhale. A moving meditation. A return to the Self through will and breath.

Montreal, 2016.
Another train. Another version of me.
Some stories aren’t about arrival.
They’re about what falls off on the way.
This scroll remembers.

the breath contains me.
As I run and walk
through the twilight hours,
I set myself free—
away from the noise,
absolutely absorbed in the presence.
Awareness, the time I’m out—
nothing else matters,
as I’m one with consciousness.

Before the mind.
Before the story.
It steadies the body from the inside out.

It just holds.
A mirror. A rhythm.
A place where time softens and your breath remembers its own depth.
Sit by the water with me.
Let go,
Not with effort—
But like a leaf drifting downstream.

It cracked something open.

The day
The breath
The way
Nothing else is needed
Nothing else is wanted.
The day
The breath
The way
Nothing else is needed
Nothing else is wanted.
Letting go of tension,
gentle, clean,
connecting to Shiva within.
All I am is this now.
All I need is here.

Before I found yoga, before I found words—I found rhythm.
This post is about the systems we forget about.
The ones that quietly keep us alive.

people and energy change.
What once was no longer is.
Who may have been in your circle
no longer aligns.
Some are closer, others gone—
maybe to return,
or never seen again.
Embrace today, absorb into now.

By the second night, I was alone—with 6,500 km ahead of me.
The first few days nearly broke me.
But something else was waking up too.
