Yoga in Boston is your resource for all things yoga related in our community and beyond.
It's a place for teachers, students, studio owners and yoga enthusiasts. It's a place to discover, celebrate, and share, the multiple ways yoga is practiced and experienced in Boston and all over the world.
Together we can enlarge the conversation and create even more awareness for the many ways yoga is having a positive impact.
I began practicing yoga about 17 years ago, when my mom asked me to go to a class with her. It was offered at a small studio in the teacher's attic of her home. She taught the vinyasa class to Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and I fell in love with the movement and grace of the practice, the music a perfect backdrop to that first experience. Since that day, I've practiced different types of yoga and with different teachers and at various studios. I finally landed at Inner Strength Studios in Watertown, connecting deeply to the ideology and style of yoga offered by the owner Roman Szpond. In 2013 I received my 200 hr. teacher training certification at Inner Strength and have been teaching there ever since, at both the Watertown and Sudbury locations. It is the studio that provides me with the best space and support to practice the type of yoga that nourishes me.
In the last few years that I have been both teaching and practicing yoga regularly, I have come to greatly appreciate Boston as a special place for yoga, a rich community full of skilled teachers, dedicated yogis, and many wonderful studios and opportunities to learn more about ourselves and to impact the world through our practice.
I hope this space will strengthen our yoga community and offer a place to learn, to share, and bring together all the wonderful teachers and students for some meaningful and fun conversations.
Namaste,
Joanna
