Kieran Berlin

Kirill also has a degree in Computer Science with professional background in product and project management. Kirill’s classes focus on strength, flexibility, functional movement, breath and combine elements of yoga philosophy, spirituality and dharma talk. Kirill is based out of Toronto, Ontario and teaches Functional, Vinyasa, Sivananda and traditional Hatha yoga styles. Kirill has been immersed in yoga for the past 15 years and is inspired by the immense transformational power that yoga brings to everyday life. Kirill studied with Axel Molema, one of the pioneers of the yoga movement in Ontario and is deeply steeped in Sivananda yoga tradition. He draws his daily inspiration from the works and lives of such noble masters as Swami Sivananda, Thich Nhat Hanh, Dalai Lama and Paramhansa Yogananda. When Kirill was a child, his physical development was stunted due to a string of debilitating illnesses in the first year of his life. Kirill was always one of the shortest and weakest kids in the class and had to rely on his brains to keep up with his peers. Combined with two successive immigrations, switching schools, friends and having lived in three different countries by the time he was 15, his self confidence and trust in the world took a significant hit. Kirill discovered yoga in his early 20’s as a way to relieve back pain and since then has been using it to achieve success in health, career, family and social life. Having experienced the immense transformational power of yoga in every single aspect of his life, Kirill’s passion now lies in empowering others to feel better, look better and perform better no matter who they are or where they come from.
