THE PEOPLE
About Ross Clark, Ross has been interested and practicing meditation for 32 years and has been a meditation instructor for the past 7 years. Ross and his daughter Heidi, provide INNER Stress Management workshops in Toronto,
Ontario Canada.
Ross and his wife live in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, Ontario, Canada. They have two adult children. Ross who now works at the University of Guelph, in 1995 on the advice of his doctor resigned from a career which he had enjoyed for the over 25 years. This came as a result of struggling with many lengthy family illnesses, increased work loads and a physical injury. Sensing that there were better ways to manage these stressors, he began doing yoga and practicing meditation. After attending a weekend insight meditation retreat and experiencing his energy being restored for the next six weeks, he knew that insightful meditation was helpful in managing stress.
Later,he traveled to a Buddhist retreat centre in Sri Lanka. After practicing Buddhist meditation there for sometime, he was trained by a nun to teach meditation to others. He then returned to Canada and has freely offered support those who are interested in developing meditation skills. He has found stress information, yoga, meditation and community have been most helpful for him and would like to offer this to others who may be interested. He continues to do three to five retreats a year, ranging in length from a weekend to one month at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Mass. U.S.A. (view retreat history)
He has also examined the scientific approach to understanding stress on the body, heart and mind. Finding that western science and eastern meditations compliment each other. Tara Brach, Ph.D., who is a clinical psychologist, meditation teacher and author of Radical Acceptance, has offered to sponsor Ross for the 3 year Community Dharma Leaders (CDL) Training at Spirit Rock, California. He has completed theMindfulness Stress Based Reduction (M.B.S.R.) instructors program, this summer at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. The M.B.S.R. training was founded in 1979 at the U of Mass Medical Center by Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living, Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain and Illness.
His intention for the INNER Stress Management web site is to find simple yet powerful ways of reducing harmful stress, through a blend of western science, eastern philosophy and personal experience.
About Heidi Clark, Currently, I am living in Toronto and working at the Ministry of Transportation. I am completing an intensive yoga teacher training program at the Esther Myer’s Yoga Studio in Toronto and I teach two yoga classes a week www.highparkyoga.com. For enjoyment, I play ultimate frisbee, run, do yoga, garden and my partner, Mark and I are renovating a 100 year old home in High Park.
I grew up in Kitchener-Waterloo area and went to the University of Guelph, where I completed an Honours B. Comm in Marketing Management in 1999. During my undergraduate degree I had the opportunity to study abroad and live in London, England for a semester where I studied at the London School of Economics. I worked in a small consulting firm upon graduation and then went back to the University of Guelph to complete an MBA in 2001.
Practicing yoga helps me manage and release stress. Playing a lot of sports growing up physical activity has always been an important part of my life. As I get older this has not changed as one of the major ways that I still release stress is through moving my body. As I become increasingly aware of my body and sensations in the body I have become familiar with how to release/relax the places that I store my stress in. This has helped me increase my performance, happiness and better manage the stress in my life.
In helping develop this site I hope a resource and community of information around the topic of stress and performance in the workplace will be created to share and support others in their own lives.
