These immense meadows, the interminable rivers, you are immense and interminable as they.

About Basia

As a little girl I was entranced by my father's books on yoga. I first embraced it in 1992.

In the Sivananda tradition, which first opened my heart to practice and exploration, I completed a Teacher Training in 1997. A few years later I discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa and began my studies with Richard Freeman. Over the years, training courses and workshops with David Swenson, Ana Forrest, Hart Lazer, Sianna Sherman, Beryl Bender Birch, Shiva Rea and others have enhanced my life and my practice.

One teacher who has revolutionized my perspective on yoga has been the Sanskrit scholar and philosopher Vyaas Houston. A background in the healing arts of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture has also informed my personal practice and teaching.

In yoga and other disciplines, my greatest joy is to play with both great strength and profound softness. Whether constructing my country home, painting, or creating stained glass art, I try to dwell in the unity at the core of all action.

Presently, I direct Adishesha Yoga Zone in Ottawa, teach classes and workshops, and lead retreats and teacher trainings.
