Mugs has been teaching yoga for 33 years and training teachers for 16 years. She presents workshops internationally. Mugs was first introduced to yoga in 1971. Her passion for this ancient practice led her to study under the late Swami Vishnu-devananda where she graduated from the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre as a Yoga Acharya in 1978. Later, in 1979 she became a live-in disciple of the late Dr. Hari Dickman, who was a direct disciple of Swami Sivananda and Paramahansa Yogananda. Her more recent teachers include the late Namadeva Acharya in Mantra Therapy, and Erich Schiffmann. Her passion is mudras and mantras combined with asana. Robert McConnell is a certified 200 hour SOYA Instructor and certified Teacher of Erich Schiffmann’s “Freedom Style” Yoga Bob’s interest in yoga began in 1996 when he started practicing asana on a regular basis. In 2008, when SOYA brought Erich Schiffmann to be the guest teacher for their annual retreat in Naramata, Bob found his niche. He took his 200 hour Teacher Training with SOYA in the summer of 2009. Bob continued his studies with Erich taking a ten-day teacher training module in the spring of 2010, followed by a weekend workshop in the fall of 2010. Bob is the first Canadian to be certified as a teacher of Freedom Style Yoga. He continues to practice and teach in Canada and Mexico. Bob and Mugs live in Scotch Creek, BC Canada during the summer months, and Melaque, Jalisco Mexico during the winter.
