Shortly after being called to the Bar as a lawyer in 2001 and while travelling through India, Josh enrolled in a 10-day silent retreat that deeply resonated with him and greatly influenced his understanding of the mind/body connection. After completing a yoga teacher training program in 2003, he began to share the principles of yoga and meditation with a vast student body (ranging in age from 12 to 101 years old) through workshops, classes and discussions at studios, athletic clubs, hospitals and retirement homes throughout Toronto. Josh explains the meditative process through the concepts of physics, philosophy and psychology, illustrating the principles involved from all three viewpoints, in an effort to give students a broad spectrum for reference. Josh currently practises Family Law, Civil Litigation and Estate law in Hamilton, ON, and has been involved with the meditation component of the teacher training curriculums at 889 Yoga and Downward Dog Yoga Centre in Toronto, ON. He currently teaches a weekly mindfulness drop-in class on Friday mornings at Octopus Garden Yoga Centre via Zoom. In the spring of 2023, he will be co-leading the third annual offering of a 50-hr Mindfulness Teacher Certification Program with Pat Harada Linfoot of Octopus Garden.
