PYC Canada

One year ago I would never have believed that my life would be what it is today. I look back at what has taken place, over such a short period of time, and have re-occuring moments where I consider pinching myself to see if it's still real! A year ago I had a great job but there was something missing and that something was a passion for my work.

I'll never forget handing over my application for Teacher Training.

Bikram Yoga Mississauga

Upon entering his first Bikram Yoga class in 2008, Mike was greeted by the instructor saying, ”Welcome to your new life!”. The words could not have been more appropriate.

This gave Mike such a passion for Bikram Yoga that he decided to leave his career as an Engineer and become a Bikram Yoga instructor and help others find the same relief from chronic pain. Mike attended Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in Spring of 2011 and graduated as the Valedictorian of the class!
