John was first introduced to meditation

by a Buddhist priest in 2001 

on an awe-inspiring trip to enigmatic Kyoto, Japan 

(home to no less than 1600 Buddhist temples). 

φ

 Looking back so many years later, who could have guessed that, 

the path to salvation and freedom from suffering was to be found in that 

initial, seemingly fruitless back-aching 30-min long Zazen (sitting meditation) session 

followed by a bitter-tasting green tea for good measure. 

φ

Over the next two decades, 

he participated in countless workshops, 

and weekend retreats in South Korea, Canada and India including: 

a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat 

and a one-month long meditation teacher training 

at the foothills of the majestic Himalayan Mountains 

by the holy River Ganges, 

the birthplace of Yoga, in Rishikesh, India. 

φ

 John is an avid daily practitioner of 

Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation 

and strives to continuously cultivate this 

timeless practice. 

φ

He is grateful to be in a position to 

share and facilitate 

its countless 

practical & deeply spiritual benefits 

with seekers near and wide.
