Meet our Teachers

Larry and Matt lead most of the sessions in our Yoga Teacher Training program. Gennie leads classes in specialty areas such as prenatal yoga and substitutes as needed. They have a wealth of Yoga teaching experience. Larry started teaching in 1971, Matt started teaching in 1976, and Gennie started in 1979. In addition, we frequently bring in nationally known guest teachers to add depth and breadth to the program. We regularly host visits from Manju Pattahbi Jois and Swami Shantanand Saraswati.
