Bodhi Bodies Strength, Yoga, & Wellness

Ryan's experience with strength training and his holistic approach to overall health and well-being has helped to motivate me kick start a fitness regime. He has helped me to target specific areas of weakness (eg. shoulder and arm) and work towards strengthening the associated muscles while protecting the joints. I appreciate his focus and his commitment to helping all levels of fit...thanks for your patience.

Ryan has been able to put together an excellent program for me by combining his sound background as both a strength and conditioning coach and yoga teacher. His attention to detail is at a very high level, ensuring everything from safe, proper lifting techniques to focusing on breathing, mobility and overall wellness. His professionalism, positivity, encouragement and knowledge makes him an elite-level trainer. I am very pleased to be working towards my fitness goals with Ryan. I highly recommend!

Ryan is my go-to yoga teacher in Thunder Bay because he provides individualized instructions and corrections even in a class setting. I have been going to his classes for over a year now and I know I have improved so much more with him as my teacher than I would have otherwise. His knowledge in relation to alignment and the poses is quite impressive and he is able to modify his instructions to a huge range of abilities/levels in part because of his physiology background. I saw that I wasn’t able to progress as well in some areas due to muscle weakness so I asked Ryan for a weight program that would improve my overall strength. Even after a month I can see the difference in my yoga practice as well as other areas. I definitely recommend Ryan to anyone who asks me about yoga or strength coaching.

Awesome! Such a great motivator and very professional Answers questions and responds in a timely manner. I have learned so much about my strengths, feel more flexible and am doing things I never thought I would be able to!

Hello Everyone,I do not usually write reviews and yet here I am because I feel strongly when I meet people whom I feel are living their lives with integrity, purpose and passion. So here I am, truly grateful for meeting this humble, gifted teacher with a big heart, hypnotic voice and always a big smile. I highly recommend Ryan.I was in Thunder Bay for a month and received the gift of having Ryan as my yoga teacher.Ryan was always attentive to my body postures. He guided me with care to improved alignment in my postures and helped me do it with maximum ease. I always felt safe and seen, challenged and inspired, and became more alive, and felt more aware of my movements. I left after a month feeling so connected and condident in my new practices and can' t wait to take more classes with Ryan when I do return.Thank you Ryan.

A teacher like no other.Ryan's approach to wellness is a whole body inclusion. Connecting the body in motion to breath. As the breath softens the mind, it brings you home to the soul.His approach to the physical postures in yoga (asanas) teaches the student an in depth understanding of their bodies in motion and in stillness. His descriptive verbal cues help the practitioner to fully engage the correct muscles, resulting in a complete expression of the posture.This is helping the body to become stronger and more flexible in a safe yet FASTER way.What's more is that Ryan teaches the most important aspects of yoga, which is a life changing journey for the student.As someone who has practiced alongside Ryan in India, with some of the best teachers, (including direct disciples of iyengar (Usha)) , I know and deeply value the rarity of a true yoga teacher like Ryan.When I am not in India training, I go to Ryan for an experience that balances and strengthens my body, mind and soul.Hari Om Tat Sat

I've worked along side Ryan with several mutual clients. He's an excellent and compassionate provider. His background knowledge of strength and conditioning paired with yoga training make him a truly unique resource. I recommend contacting him for your health and wellness goals.

I’ve had the pleasure of both working with Ryan and also attending his yoga classes. The combination of his knowledge and grounded, calm demeanour makes him a wonderful yoga teacher and strength coach. I highly recommend his services!

I was new to yoga but decided to try it to help with my back pain, strength and flexibility. I was fortunate to see Ryan for private practice lessons. Ryan is very knowledgeable and a fantastic instructor. The private sessions with Ryan gave me the opportunity to learn the poses properly, and have the sessions tailored to my needs. My flexibility and strength have improved greatly and I am looking forward to continuing to learn from Ryan.
