Paul Askew will be in our studio as a Guest teacher for several classes next week, visiting from the Bikram Yoga Centre in Toronto.

He is going to teach on Monday the 16th at 6:00pm and 8:00pm, as well as on Tuesday the 17th at 6:00am, 9:30am and 12 noon.

Here is a short bio for Paul.

After a friend suggested that it would alleviate his knee and shin pain, Paul embarked on an intense journey, practicing Bikram Yoga regularly. In 19 months, the health advantages had become so evident that he decided to attend Fall 2008 Teacher Training so he could teach others what he had discovered. Despite tearing the meniscus in his left knee two months before the start of training, he decided to complete the nine-week course anyway. At times he had to work through immense pain, but he persisted, knowing that a little discomfort now prevents a lot of misery in the future. Post training and despite a huge reduction in pain, Paul elected to have surgery. He continues to strengthen and heal his knee through regular practice using advice given to him privately by Bikram. He experiences, first hand, the amazing healing abilities of this yoga and wants others to benefit too.
