YogaGuy's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Sep 21, 2021

- I hope that they feel happy and relaxed and more at ease afterwards. Having a nice massage is a wonderful act of self care and self love.

- I used to travel quite a bit before Covid. I really love trains, especially long distance train rides (I have done both the Toronto to Vancouver and Montreal to Halifax train rides). Travelling and adventure is a wonderful experience and can really broaden your mind.

- Honestly I’m doing it to help support myself while I’m doing my 300 Hour advanced Yoga Teacher Training (I’ve completed 2 separate 200 Hour TT’s during the pandemic. I had to pivot after being laid off from both my jobs during the March 2020 lockdowns).
But I also enjoy meeting new people and helping make people feel good about themselves.

- My favourite hobby is probably baking. I love baking desserts, pies, cookies, and sometimes cakes, loaves, and bread (and then giving these away to people - a homemade pie or plate of cookies always seems to cheer people up).
I like reading, I like watching movies (I miss going to the cinema), I like documentaries and learning about things.
I practice yoga & meditation and I enjoy cycling, walking, and travelling (even if it’s just to another neighborhood in the city).

- I hope that they feel relaxed, and more at home in their body. Becoming more embodied and present with ourselves is key to living our best life possible.

- I have a gentle, quiet, and sensitive personality. I’m introverted, and sometimes a bit shy. But I’ve been told that I’m also charming and good at making people feel at ease!

- I’m a yoga & meditation teacher and I think my job is essentially to help people feel better about themselves in the bodies they inhabit right now. A massage experience can be part of that and promotes healing & relaxation.
