yoga teachERS are the foundation of a yoga studio

“To be a student of life means, first of all, to create a space, amidst the jungle of ideas that surrounds us. When the space is created, then you can learn.” ~ Prem Rewat

At Yoga LYFE we aspire to bring the best of yoga to our students. As a result, we have a diverse and selective number of yoga teachers that will guide and educate students to find inspiration through a heart-felt connection. We cultivate a place that nurtures community and joy through your yoga practice.

We are each different beings with unique desires and needs. No two of us are the same. The beautiful practice of yoga is malleable. Meet our teachers and read through their wisdom and journey below.
