Even when he first began training 13 yrs ago, Kevin demonstrated a discerning eye for Muay Thai technique, style, and  perspective. This propensity toward the more subtle, skillful aspects of the art gave him an edge as a competitive athlete and now affords him keen insight in his role as a Combat Sport Official/Referee.

As a trainer, he is a firm believer in developing a solid foundation of Muay Thai basics because when things get tough in competition, you can always rely on two things: ingrained basics & tenacious heart.

Always active and adventurous, Yohan's trajectory towards physical, mental & spiritual development was inevitable... and this journey started with Muay-Thai! Within 8 years, he had trained in Thailand, competed internationally, fought 36 times (earning a few titles along the way), and began teaching... before succumbing to a number of injuries.

"This is where I learned the importance of a proper training program. The injuries not only left me unable to compete, I was truly afraid for my ability to lead an active, happy life." 

So Yohan dove into strength & conditioning and, after experiencing its benefits first hand, became a certified strength & conditioning coach while continuing to teach Muay Thai.

Still feeling like something was missing, he then looked into yoga, which proved to be another life-changing endeavour. His local practice  inspired his travel to India for more intensive study. His injuries now far behind him, a new fire was lit, which led to further study in India with Ashtanga & Pranavashya, and an intensive back-bending program.

And oh!! During his full-on dive into all things yoga, he I was also learning learn the art of boxing!

"Not only did strength/conditioning and yoga help me be physically, mentally & spiritually able to compete again, I surpassed my previous fitness level. "

Although no longer competing, Yohan still enjoys practising and, most of all, sharing all of the things he has learned to stay sharp.
