Adam’s teaching style is based on achieving stillness, by working through physical, emotional, psychological tension to build strength, self love and acceptance. With ashtanga flow as a base, Adam combines it with Thai yoga massage and common sense.
Adam views the body as a mechanical machine. Aging is the result of the machine over-working and distress of repeat or over-stretching its limit. Yoga is the maintenance of the machine to balance and fine tune itself so it can renew itself. Coming from having a back injury, his teaching style focuses on strengthening the body with a special focus on back pain relief and strength building.

”I was participating in a 28 day depression related program at CAMH. One of our group outings, And it was where I was introduced to Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, etc. I don’t think I can even find the words to describe how much of an impact that your classes had on my regaining control of both my mind and my body. Hands down, you were one of my favourite instructors – I found your classes both interesting and challenging. I remember how intimidating things were at first, and how good it felt to gain confidence and control with what I was doing.” a comment form a student make me teary eyes.(more comment click here)
