Yoga-Palooza

We are celebrating our 12th year of building the yoga community in Blackfoot with special classes and events throughout the month of October.  So here's the back story:

In 2007 I saw a flyer for free yoga for the month of October at the community center and joined about twenty other enthusiastic yogis.  The teacher, Larinda, was great, the yoga was great, the setting was dismal, but hey, we were doing yoga.  At the end of the month we asked Larinda if the classes would continue.  Little did we know that the free classes were a required component of her very first training and Just Breathe Yoga was born.
 
Classes continued and our yoga community began to grow and strengthen.
During the first several years Larinda pursued her yoga training, traveling throughout the country for weekend trainings, while attending school during the week.  After reaching her first goal in 2012, graduating with her 200-hour RYT.  Larinda asked me to teach on occasion to allow her more time to focus on school.  In 2014 I completed my yoga training in India.  And now in her own words…Larinda was thrilled.  She knew Just Breathe Yoga was in good hands and turned the business over to me so she could finish her engineering degree.  Which she did with honors!
 
In twelve years, we have practiced in many different locations, a community center, a dance studio, an art gallery, a salon/photo studio and in a tiny studio in a behavioral health clinic, before we built our forever home here on the farm.  We have grown from one teacher, one class a week to classes five days a week with three different teachers.  And, in true yoga tradition, every teacher here began as a student at Just Breathe Yoga.
