elcome to Indigo Yoga. You have found a magical place filled with possibility and community.  Your arrival here is no coincidence.  In this space that we have so lovingly created for you, we will teach, transform and inspire people so greatly that their lives will be better and more abundant than they ever imagined.

I can remember my first experience with yoga.  Then it seemed inconsequential, and at that time, actually disappointing.  Looking back however, it was truly my most influential.  I had no idea how it would come back around to teach and guide me years later.  It had a little something to do with a tiny robed Indian man. After what felt like a particularly boring first yoga class, he approached me. And here is what he said.

"My friend,"

My eyes lit up, I got giddy.

"Yes?"

"Why do you carry so much sadness? Why is your heart so heavy?"

I stared at him in disbelief. "I'm sorry?" I exclaimed, not used to being confronted so openly.

"If you are to be a yogi, you must give your heavy heart to God."

And with that, linen robes and mala beads trailing behind him, he was gone.

I said nothing.  I did not return to yoga for the next 13 years.

More often than not, I recall this exchange with this unknown Indian man.  It has since become one of the most profound yogic and life changing experiences in my life.  Of course I did not know it then; now I see it as a gift and the door to an amazing journey.  Only when I went to Level 1 Teacher Training with Baron Baptiste did I begin to understand what this small but powerful man was trying to tell me. At that time I had just opened a little yoga studio...

Indigo Yoga was born in May of 2006 with the same mission and vision that it has today: to empower.  I wanted a place of support and laughter...a home for weary souls, lost hearts and hopeful dreams, all in search of two things: truth and community. Shortly after opening I made a long awaited dream come true received both my Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Certification and Studio Affiliation.  They say when the student is ready, the teacher comes.  I never saw the mysterious Indian man again, whom I consider my first true teacher. But in his place came powerful, inspiring, magnetic teachers - Baron Baptiste, Tias Little, Gregor Singleton, Dr. Ray Long, Doug Swenson, Seane Corn, Manju Jois - who have all worked through me to bring you Indigo Yoga.

We will empower every student, to embody health specific to them, on all levels; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  We loyally support Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga system and teach from our experience of it.  We strive to meet the individual needs of each student, regardless of age, experience or background, through the physical practice of yoga and personal growth programs. We are committed to creating a positive, inspirational impact on our local and global community.

We will operate from abundance and all who share in our vision will share with the world, one student at a time. We will stand in our truth at all times, regardless of popularity.  We will never accept mediocrity in our study, our teaching or life. We are committed to being the change, and want to share this commitment with you.

It is pleasure to welcome you to Indigo Yoga.
