CERTIFIED AMRIT YOGA INSTRUCTOR II
I believe with yoga first, everything else will fall into place. My intention is to help students learn how to create and experience an energy of peace, on and off of the mat, restoring, continuing health in body, mind and spirit, where with practice peace of mind can truly become a choice and just a breath away.
Experience the Life Changing Benefits of Yoga
In this peaceful downtown studio, classes include individualized attention. This is a non-competitive, meditation in motion, with a powerful awareness component, called the Posture of Consciousness.
You will learn a series of mindful yoga stretches, postures, and the transformative impact of conscious breathing, pranayama. All shapes, sizes, ages and conditions will receive great benefit with practice as we focus on proper form, alignment, and the breath, not perfection… learning how to relax into what is… how to truly let go.
Your journey begins from where you are, not from where you are not.
For the enhanced safety of all Yoga Happens Here students and visitors, our studio is now protected by ActivePure technology. Unlike passive air filters, purifiers & other systems, ActivePure proactively seeks out pathogens, continuously protecting indoor spaces. ActivePure has been developed to medical grade standards and is relied upon in Acute Care settings like the Cleveland Clinic. In independent third-party laboratory tests, ActivePure has been proven to reduce up to 99.99% of pathogens including SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), Avian influenza, E.Coli, MRSA, Norovirus, Staph bacteria, Candida, Swine Flu, Hepatitis, Legionella, and more. We are happy to provide this extra level of protection for everyone entering through our doors!

CERTIFIED AMRIT YOGA INSTRUCTOR II
Yoga started changing my life many years ago resulting in a new life and new beginning. Before yoga, a stressful work environment plus other challenges led to a breakdown in my immune system which represented a major lack of energy, balance, and quality in my life.
Through continued practice and experimentation of authentic yoga techniques, I feel and live life with a new inspiration, energy and fulfillment, allowing my life to unfold.
