Joel's passion and vigor is contagious, in a yoga class he'll have you trying something you never thought you could do while laughing at the same time. He's known to be always sipping on some strange but healthy drink. Joel and his wife Lena are in the process of setting up a permaculture paw paw orchard at their beautiful property on Salt Spring, The Peace Farm.

He is certified in the instruction of Ashtanga (200 hours), Moksha/Modo Level 1 & 2 (700 hours) and Vinyasa (200 hours). He has studied Soto Zen for years and continues to expand his expression of yoga with innovative approaches to functional movement.
