Biography

Blaine started yoga about 6 years ago in search of a cure for his constantly sore lower back! It started during random lunchtime classes at work, and then quickly escalated into a consistent Bikram practice. This sold him on hot yoga, where he has consistently practiced at Moksha/Shanti hot yoga studios ever since. Upon reflection things have come a long way from looking around the cla

ss to figure out what a downward dog looked like to completing teacher training in Feb 2015! Early in the spring of 2014, Blaine wanted to deepen his practice and be able to share his passion for yoga with others. Subsequently, he commenced the registered yoga teaching 200 Hour course in Nov 14. The teacher training really “stoked the fire” within and he has been teaching at work and at a local fitness centre on a part time basis. Blaine is currently guiding classes for co-workers on a weekly basis, doing spot duty at Stride Health and Fitness centre in Elmsdale and other random classes, such as Yoga in the Park! NAMASTE

Ayurveda: Life is the combination of body, senses, mind and reincarnation soul. Ayurveda is the most sacred science of life, beneficial to humans both in this world and the world beyond. (Charaka Samita, Suthrasthana)

Ayurveda is commonly known as the ”sister” science to Yoga that is primarily aimed at self-healing. During my upcoming retreat, we will be looking at this system. Jen, the co-founder of Nereus Retreats, trained as an Ayurvedic practitioner will guide some discussion to better understand this and to see how we can incorporate aspects in our daily lives.

Check out the details for the opportunity to take some time for yourself at this amazing place with amazing people.

A key feature of any retreat is food! Nereus takes care to provide fresh ingredients while taking into account dietary restrictions and preferences. Fresh meals made with care and joy are great nourishment. You can experience this for yourself during a yoga retreat I will be hosting there 23-30 Nov. 😄

I‘ve been asked “Why do a yoga retreat in Costa Rica in November?”. Well, it is the opportunity to experience a tropical jungle from a different perspective due to the time of the year. The end of November is a transition period from the rainy to the dry season, which is when we usually seek out trips to that area. Perhaps this different perspective will also bring your yoga practice view through a different lens?

Did you know that Costa Rica does not change clocks for daylight savings time? Also, due to its proximity to the equator, the Osa Península has pretty much the same daily sunrise and sunset time all year round from approximately 0515 to 1745? To experience this for yourself, join my upcoming yoga retreat from 23-30 Nov at the beautiful Nereus Retreats 😁

Did you know Costa Rica is a producer of cacao? That cacao trees are grafted, similar to grape vines? That the cacao starts out as a white coloured seeds of a fruit? There is a fermentation process that must be completed? So many interesting facts that are available during a tour to a local, family owned, cacao producer. Similar to the journey of yoga, the journey of the cacao to a chocolate bar is a story of transformation. If the possibility of this tour and the journey of yoga interests you, keep an eye here for more details on my upcoming yoga retreat in November 😁

The Story (still in progress)

Biography My doorway to yoga practices was a constantly sore lower back. I started lunchtime yoga asana classes at lunchtimes then picked up a regular hot yoga practice at Bikram, Moksha and Shanti yoga studios. The practice has transformed my life which pointed me towards completing my Yoga teacher training in early 2015. It is an amazing journey to grow personally while encouraging others with their practice. Studies are constant as I have completed Yin yoga training, too numerous to mention online studies on the history of yoga, Hindu philosophy, sanskrit and most recently the scientific validation of yoga practices on the resilience/neuroplasticity of the brain. Having attended several Wanderlust yoga festivals, visited the holy city of Vrindavan in India, completed SUP yoga teacher training, Love Your Brain Foundation Yoga teacher training for folks experiencing Traumatic Brain Injuries and Paddle Canada Advanced Flatwater instructor training; it almost seems like a whirlwind of activity! Also, giving back to the community as a volunteer with the Nova Scotia Nature trust and running karma (donation) classes for local food banks and towards building a children’s playground in Vrindavan; are important to me. We live in such a wonderful world of abundance and we need to solve the distribution problem of this abundance!

Currently I am teaching on a part-time basis at Clarity Garden Wellness Clinic (amazing space with the only Great Yoga Wall east of Montreal), the Shanti Yoga Studios, HRM Recreation classes at the Gordon R. Snow Community Centre in Fall River, SUP Yoga at SUP Monkey on Lake Banook and run nature retreats at the amazing Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort in Cape Breton.

Yoga practices truly are for everyone and I am dedicated to assisting folks in their inquiry into all aspects of yoga. I look forward to touching base with you about any aspect of your yoga journey!

Namaste
