Todd Inouye (Vancouver British Columbia)
Director, Program Coordinator, Mentor and Host Teacher

Co-owner and director of Yogapod Body Mind & Soul, Todd’s practice over the past 12 years has been inspired from a melting pot of diverse yogic trainings and traditions. Dedicated to the path of Anusara Yoga for the past 5 years, he is amongst a small but growing group of Anusara-inspired teachers in Western Canada committed to the method and expanding its amazing potential.

Todd’s has well over 1200 registered hrs of study registered w/ Yoga Alliance and holds both the older certification of RYT 700 and newer certification RYT 500 hrs. Light, humourous and inspiring of heart, Todd’s classes lead students towards a deeper understanding of their own strength and potential by deepening commitment towards being present on the mat or doing the dishes. As a keen perpetual student, he honours the guiding wisdom of his teacher John Friend (founder of the Anusara Yoga tradition) and has completed several courses of study under his guidance including: Level 1 & 2 Teacher Trainings, Immersions, Master Immersion, 4 Advanced Intensives, Level 1 + 2 Therapeutics Trainings, and several weekend workshops.

This training was result of dedicated effort and the inspiration of kula that surrounds Yogapod and the amazing Vancouver yoga community as a whole. The distinguished faculty included in this training is unlike anything ever offered in Vancouver. World class international teachers have committed their presence and will all synchronize their time, effort and years of dedicated study to the rich tapestry of this training and changing lives. Heartfelt thanks to family, Yogapod management, the Yogapod Kula and the District of West Vancouver.

To all the amazing teacher’s involved... we look forward to the experience of a lifetime!

Blessings, abundance + love supreme, Todd Inouye
