Bio:

Hello! My name is Dave, I'm a dad, a football coach and a soccer coach. I've also worked for the past 20 years with children and youth who are furthest from opportunity in Saskatoon, across the province of Sask. and nationally from coast to coast to coast. I've tried to instil a strong social-justice lens when it comes to my yoga practice, and have a particular soft spot for those children and youth who are often deemed the hardest to engage. I'm very flexible in planning a yoga sessions that fit outside of the box, and am my primary goal is to instill fun and play into my yoga sessions.
