Director & Instructor

Ryan has always been a fitness enthusiast, he came to yoga for his own personal reasons. After dealing with a very difficult divorce and depression, Ryan tried yoga in 2009. It took a little time, but Ryan grew to love his practice and was able to deal with his depression and put it behind him.

He had such a positive and life changing experience through his practice that he wanted to share his love for yoga with others. Together with his wife, Amy Marchese, they spent over a year researching before opening their own studio in Grimsby.

Ryan took his 200 hour intensive teacher training with Karen Claffey at Heaven on Earth Yoga Institute in Stoney Creek. Ryan likes to bring intensity to class and mixes it up by throwing in a little meditation, fun sequences and partner yoga from time to time.

“I try to make every class a unique experience. I love teaching and sharing my passion for yoga and making every class fun. I want everyone to feel like a kid again and find time to play. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing members leave with a smile on their faces.”
