    Just Breathe: Heather Furman

    “I started yoga when my twin boys were 6 months old. Everything was so chaotic. I remember I kept thinking that if I worked out I’d feel better. I knew I had to find something that gave me strength, but peace at the same time. I searched and found a Gwen Lawrence yoga video and […]

    You Are Not Alone. Discover Your Community: Scott Watson

    “I thought yoga was just stretching and it’s NOT. The way I felt after class was just amazing.

Right off the bat I knew something was there, and realized that it wasn’t the physical I […]

    Stand Strong. You Are Powerful: Chelsea Kuzmak

    “I was introduced to a yoga teacher training and personal development program before I even started practicing consistently. I talked to one of the teachers at Yoga Body Shop, Jenn and had said, ‘I don’t know about this, it’s a huge commitment’ and she said, ‘Well, your life is a huge commitment, right?’ Man, it’s […]
