life/career change in 2008, began his Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training
with Darby, Shankara & Joanne. With additional training from Luna
Yoga's Jennifer Maagendans, Bram incorporated all his experience on
and off the mat into his yoga classes which offer insight into alignment,
breath awareness, and the ability to use laughter to get through the
more challenging postures and sequences. He is currently an ambassador
for the Lululemon
Ste Catherine St location. Bram is forever grateful to the Darbys,
Jennifer Maagendans, and Joan Ruvinsky who initially offered illumination
on his yogic path. His website can be found at www.bramlevinsonyoga.com,

 Frances
Vicente
Yoga teacher
Frances has a background in dance and competitive Sport Aerobics (a
sport which combines aerobic dance moves with gymnastic elements)
- she discovered her passion for yoga in 2006 when she began working
at Lululemon Athletica. To her, dance is very much an outward expression,
whereas yoga offers an opportunity for self-reflection. Frances recently
completed her yoga teacher training and draws from her experiences
in all areas of her life to bring creativity, compassion and laughter
to her classes. She is thrilled to be a new part of the Centre Luna
yoga family!
