floo-id YOGA is a community that’s all about creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive place for you to discover your best self. We’re here to help guide you towards a new sense of wellness and peace.
Starting a yoga practice for the first time or joining a new studio can feel intimidating. We know you’re looking for a place that feels like “home”. That’s why we’ve created an intentional community. There’s a place in it for everybody- a place where you can feel like you belong no matter your experience, physical abilities, or where you are on your journey. Welcome home.
Physical fitness is an important part of living a balanced life, and yoga is a great way to achieve that. But at floo-id YOGA, we believe that total wellness means caring for your body and your mental health. This means we work toward integrating physical, emotional, and mental health into our practice so you can get the best that yoga has to offer. This approach is what sets yoga apart and will help you change your life for the better.
While it’s true that each of us is on our own path in our yoga practice, being surrounded by a supportive, encouraging community can make all the difference to continued success. Our teachers, students, and wider community all contribute to make floo-id YOGA the safe, welcoming place that it is.
Beth has always been active in sports, but it seemed just when she would begin to progress, an injury would plague her. She was initially drawn to Bikram Yoga because of the physical challenge, but soon discovered there was more to yoga. It increased her mind-body awareness, and through consistent practice, all of her injuries disappeared. Yoga has helped Beth relax, lose weight, and manage stress more effectively. The years of practicing have made subtle changes in her attitude, physical appearance, and demeanor. Beth directly attributes these changes to hot yoga. Beth has taught yoga for more than 19 years, earning her Bikram Certification in 1999. She teaches with high energy and a friendly approach that welcomes and encourages all levels to participate. Beth believes everyone can benefit from a regular yoga practice.
Kåthe began her yoga practice in December 2011 while healing from a divorce. She thought yoga would be a perfect opportunity to spend time on her own wellness. Her experience in the hot room served as her therapy – she was able to release her painful experiences while feeling safe. Kåthe felt compelled to share what hot yoga meant to her, so she enrolled in the 200 Hour YTT at floo-id YOGA and became a certified instructor in November 2015. She is thrilled to be able to bring the joy of yoga to every class she teaches. Her favorite posture is Standing Forehead to Knee. She feels she still has a lot of work to do on the posture and loves that there is no end goal in yoga. She believes yoga is the practice of finding acceptance and joy in the person you are right now, and the realization that each day your “now” is completely different.
Kevin has been practicing Bikram Yoga since 2005 and became a certified Bikram Instructor in 2006. He began after taking a class at the urging of a friend, and was impressed with the results. After the first class he was hooked. He continued to attend classes regularly for about a year before he decided to walk away from his corporate career and pursue a career as a yoga instructor. Kevin made the decision to take the plunge, step out of his comfort zone, and trust the process. Now he can hardly wipe the smile off his face! Hot yoga has done wonders for his body, health, outlook, and disposition and he is honored to impart this knowledge upon others.
Serena has a B.A. in Elementary Education and has been an early elementary school teacher since 1992. In 2015, she earned her RYT 200 and now brings that same passion for teaching to her students at floo-id YOGA. She also enjoys traveling, art, culture, the beach, gardens, nature, animals, and kids. Her favorite quote is from Jack Layton, an 1800’s politician: “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”
Samantha started her practice when she was 19 after a girlfriend raved to her about the benefits of Hot Yoga. She continues to practice for her mental and physical health. She became certified in Hot Pilates because she wanted to impact people's lives the way others had impacted hers.
Her advice to students is, “Don't wish for it; work for it! Everytime you step into a class you are closer to where you want to be so keep fighting for your goals, dreams, and aspirations!”
I started my practice about five years ago. I was eleven years old when I started practicing yoga. I started with non-heated yoga then tried Original Hot Yoga at floo-id YOGA in 2019. I fell in love with it! It was all I could think about practicing! I became an instructor because I completely fell in love with with series and I wanted to be able to share this awesomeness that I felt with others! Instructing has given me the opportunity to deepen my practice and see yoga transform others. I love teaching because I get to share the gift of yoga with others plus it’s amazing to see students progress and ask questions. Connecting with the students is amazing and I just love sharing the wonderful gift of Yoga.
