Bernie’s yoga practice encompasses the complex 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 80s when he first began to explore Zen meditation practice. 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.
