Ron Reid
has been practicing Yoga for over 30 years and teaching since
1988.
He is co-owner and Director of the Downward Dog Yoga
Centre in Toronto, Canada.
Ron has studied with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath both in
India and North America and was one of the first Canadian teachers
to be authorized by Pattabhi Jois. In addition to regular
classes at Downward Dog, he conducts workshops and teacher trainings
in Canada, Europe, and the U.K. and is becoming a familiar face
at various conferences around the world.
Ron is one of Canada’s top teachers, approaching teaching
in an inspired, informed and non-dogmatic way. He places
the needs of the students ahead of the demands of the practice. While
continuing to teach and practice the ashtanga vinyasa system
as a foundation, he endeavors to blend tradition with innovation,
and to balance precision with grace. Students will find
his refined approach to practice both challenging and rewarding.
Ron is also an accomplished musician and composer and performs
with his partner Marla Meenakshi Joy under their group name “Swaha”

“Ron teaches with intelligence. His adjustments
suit the individual needs of the students. I personally found
his adjustments
were the best I have received from
any teacher. I have very high
regard for him as an exceptional teacher.”
-ELIZABETH CONNOLLY, Yoga Teacher and teacher trainer
“When I think of a yogi, I think
of Ron Reid. He teaches from what he has learned from his many
years
of practice, you
can feel that. Even if you've been practicing for
years and years he makes you feel curious and excited about yoga
through
his soft-spoken, humorous and extremely intelligent way of teaching.
He knows the body and how it works and he teaches you how to
keep it healthy. At the same time his classes are challenging
and hot. He makes you want to move to Toronto!!”
