He is an R-HYI (Registered Holy Yoga Instructor) and is also an RYT with The Yoga Alliance.
Ryan started Yoga nearly 5 years ago as a means to combat health issues, but, as a Christian, he discovered that yoga can be one of many ways to connect to Jesus Christ. He now tries to use his teaching skills to share God’s word and to help others (especially men) to enjoy yoga without feeling like they are violating their personal and spiritual convictions.
Ryan tries to bring the best out of people through his teaching which consists of Baptiste vinyasa flow with an added focus on proper breathing and alignment. When he is not teaching, Ryan is spending time with his wife, Lisa and their four children. He also enjoys running, swimming, reading, and cycling.
