Tyler was first introduced to yoga by his Mom some 15 years ago as a means of recovering from sports related injuries, whereupon (and with the help of Judy McNicol) it evolved into a passion. In 2016, Tyler completed his 200 Hour Do Something! Yoga Teacher Training Course with Sylvie Boisclair in Yellowknife. The experience and relationships he made throughout this time motivated him to share his practice, and continue to learn and grow as an instructor.
