About

Risto Duggan

Yoga Instructor

Risto Duggan is a Vancouver based yoga teacher with a focus on healing through alignment, engagement, and breath. His background as a semi-professional multi-sport athlete left his body broken and battered. 

With 9 broken bones, a bad hip and an arthritic back he was in need of some mindful healing. On his 40th birthday he took his first yoga class and his life changed dramatically.

​

Since completing his 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2007, he has built a strong following of students who attend his Rocket, Yin classes and Workshops.

The main focus is on healing the body. Releasing tension through a strong practice focussing on the breath, and building true strength. Risto's known for his quality adjustments, positive guidance, and playful inversions.
