Message from the Owner
Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to rejoin the Eugene Yoga community as a teacher and grow into the new role of studio owner. I first joined Eugene Yoga as a teacher back in 2011-2013 and then moved to the Bay Area to continue my studies as a student of Iyengar yoga. I didn’t have any idea that the universe would one day pull me back to this community in this way.
There have been many exciting changes this past year, such as launching our Eugene Yoga Teacher Training Program, the studio’s first 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Program led by our exceptionally experienced cohort of teachers. We have also launched a youtube channel and are continuing to invest in the creation of educational online content to broaden our reach and value as a studio.
It has been and continues to be a joy to grow into this new role and be a part of the Eugene Yoga community. I am so grateful to teach Iyengar yoga and serve our community of new and long-time practitioners.
With Love,
Andrea
Special thanks are due to Valerie Morris, Eugene Yoga’s previous owner, who kept Eugene Yoga’s community supported during the pandemic and shepherded the business through difficult times over her 5 years as owner. Her light and love continue to shine upon our studio, as she supports operations behind the scenes.
