This is Ron and Yazu. Ron is the man behind the vision and the construction work which brought this beautiful studio to life!
Ron first started yoga when he stepped away from a high stress corporate position in 2009. Since then his yoga practice has been integral in creating balance in his life on and off the matt.
In 2013, Ron studied yoga a the Pavones Yoga Center in Costa Rica under the direction of Indira Kate Kalmbach and during that time purchased a vacant building in Winnipeg Beach with a vision to transform it into a community wellness centre. Ron wanted a facility that was inviting, comfortable and friendly to the environment. In 2015 the doors were open at UUYoga!
Away from the studio and the construction site, Ron can be found playing in nature whether it be kayaking, kiteboarding, wing foiling or just hanging out with his dog, Yazu, on the beach. Ron loves to incorporate learning into his travels. He is a certified kiteboard instructor, Reiki Level I and II certified, and is open water diving certified.
