Teacher
Neil Haggard
Neil brings fun and challenge to every class, teaching Hatha, Vinyasa, warm flow, Hot Yin, and hot flow with an emphasis on anatomy, breathing techniques, and yoga philosophy.
Neil’s practice started more than twenty years ago, when he discovered how Hatha yoga strengthened his joints, improved his flexibility, and brought some calm to a busy life. As a master’s cyclist, he found it enhanced his performance and helped prevent the strain of training and racing.
He became a certified Hatha teacher in 2006 with the Yoga Association of Alberta and was certified to teach Yin Yoga in 2011. He enjoys working with brand-new students and challenging intermediates alike, across Hatha and Vinyasa flows as well as strong warm flow, Hot Yin, and hot flow classes. With well over 4,000 teaching hours, Neil weaves in a measure of anatomy, breathing technique, and yoga philosophy — because, as he likes to say, movement creates health.
What I'd tell someone nervous about their first class
Welcome and just relax. Enjoy the practice and learning something new. Listen to your body, have fun and don't worry about being perfect!
The class I could teach forever, and why
I could teach a traditional Akhanda class forever! It includes all the elements of a traditional practice of asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy and often an OM!
Off the mat
I am a travel guide in Asia leading treks to Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet; a master's cyclist in summer, and mountaineering and skiing in winter!
