ABOUT ONE LOVE YOGA AND RENO MUENZ

Reno Muenz is a charismatic, inspirational yoga teacher who brings his strength, humour and philosophy to every one of his yoga classes. Since the first time he opened the pages of Bhagavan Das’ It’s Here Now Are You?, he knew there was something radical about the practice of yoga.

His love for music has a major influence on his teaching style and adds to the uplifting message he brings to his classes. As a DJ for much of his life, he brings this connection to sound and intertwines it with his knowledge of yoga as a physical as well as devotional practice. Mainly influenced by Reggae and Dub music, practitioners will experience everything from Soul to Indie Rock and Punk as well.

In university he majored in Religious Studies with a focus on Buddhist and Hindu traditions and brings his knowledge and faith in both to his practice and to his classes.
“Yoga has completely changed the way I interact with life on this planet. It is my prayer, my exercise, my diet,the way I interact with others, it is everything. It has made me stronger and more compassionate. It has filled my heart with loving kindness and reminded me of the Oneness of All.”

Reno offers a challenging vinyasa practice with all the juicy bits of bhakti and spiritual practice. His love for the planet and all living things are a major part of his offering as an instructor. “To see all Living Beings as Divine, that is my one True Goal as a Yogi, that to me is Liberation.”

He gives thanks and praise to his many beautiful teachers Bhagavan Das,Ryan Leier, Jan Henrikson, Tina James, David Life and Sharon Gannon.

ONE LOVE!!!

The Prophet


I had the opportunity to see this film tonight and it really struck a chord with I.
Ever since I was around 12 years old I felt drawn to Reggae music and culture. Most of the people around me found this to be a bit odd, as I am a white kid from a small city in Canada. Even on family vacations I asked my dad to take me to places where I could get Rasta related items such as CDs,posters,and t-shirts. In the tenth grade I wrote a paper and received top marks on Rastafarianism. Some kids teased me relentlessly about my wanting to be black. Looking back on it I see that it's just who I am.
Watching this film reminds me of the inspiration Bob has been to my life and the lives of so many others. I am reminded that I don't need to explain why I love the things I love, but rather that I stay true to them. Rasta has a place in my soul and no one can tell me that its wrong or unreal. Rastafari has taught me that love and respect are the root of unity in this life and I have experienced this through music. I know what is real. I live it everyday. Beyond what is expected of I from Babylon.
We truly are one people and it is the words of Bob Marley that promote this message of Unity and Peace.
I hope you find this to be as inspiring as I have. Jah Bless.
