Whether you are coming in from out of town or traveling to Soul of Yoga locally, you can’t beat the ease of access to the center.
This place holds what the name indicates: ‘Soul of Yoga’! As an explorer of life, I have travelled a lot through the world and have seen a lot of yoga studios. This one has a special feeling. Here, there is the possibility to truly connect to the Soul, to the true self. Because of this I chose the Soul to complete my advanced teacher trainings. These trainings have supported my transformational process and connected me to my heart! This place is for those who really are interested in learning all facets of Yoga, not just the physical practice. Thank you Soul of Yoga for these unique experiences!
