Bernie Clark has been teaching yoga and meditation since 1998. He
has a bachelor’s degree in science from the University of
Waterloo and combines his intense interest in yoga with an
understanding of the scientific approach to investigating the
nature of things. 


 


His ongoing studies have taken him deeply inside mythology,
comparative religions and psychology. All of these avenues of
exploration have clarified his understanding of the ancient
Eastern practices of yoga and meditation. His teaching, workshops
and books have helped many students broaden their own
understanding of health, life and the source of true joy.


 


Bernie’s yoga practice encompasses the hard, yang-styles, such as
Ashtanga and Power Yoga, and the softer, yin-styles, as
exemplified in Yin Yoga. His meditation experience goes back to
the early 80’s when he first began exploring Zen meditation.


During those days, while he struggled with the conflict between
practice and theory, Bernie also worked as a member of the
executive team of one of Canada’s oldest and largest
Hi-Technology companies.


Bernie is the author of Your Body, Your Yoga amongst others.
