As the Canadian Yoga coordinator for the Art of Living he travelled and taught yoga, breathing techniques and meditation in many countries and co-founded the Montreal Art of Living Centre.

Vibrations Om - Pointe-Claire in 2012, Vibrations Om - Saint-Laurent in 2016, Vibrations Om - Lachine in 2019 and Vibrations Om - Décarie in 2021.
