My serious yoga journey started after a shoulder injury. I wanted to get mobility back in my shoulder and yoga seemed like a natural solution. I was able to heal and strengthen my body in a more holistic and gentle way. And, I was hooked!

I was a Personal Trainer for 15 years prior to going into boutique gift sales (what I’ve done for the last 20 years). I love that I’ve been able to expand my passion for helping people move their physical bodies by teaching yoga! It benefits me in my “real” job both physically and mentally. Because just a few minutes of yoga and a few minutes of intentional breathing can do wonders for your day whether in a hotel room or at home!

I have taken THREE of Love Yoga Studio’s Yoga Trainings and each time I have learned more and been able to dig a little deeper into the heart of yoga.

I am committed to this learning journey of yoga and life and am honored to bring what I learn to my little corner of the world.

Strong Flow (with plenty of modifications) Tuesdays 9:30am

Thank YOU for all your Love! Please Celebrate with us this Friday – free yoga and treats all day. 

How did we get here? Six years ago we opened Love Yoga studio in downtown Albany. The following year we moved to North Albany so that we could add hot yoga to our schedule and more parking!  

Over the years we’ve had so many different teachers that helped us get this far: Thank you to Marcia, Laura, Mara, Rachel, Jane, Alexa, Elisa, Maggie, Paul and Kathy...just to name a few. And of course to all our wonderful teachers we have now! (More on them next week!).

We’ve had hot yoga, groove yoga, yin yoga, power yoga, core yoga, gentle yoga, kids yoga and more. We added meditation classes, various workshops, teacher trainings and yoga tours.  

We recently added a reception area, kombucha and two fabulous massage therapists: Kelly Ard and Anna Burnett.

We have shared the Love all over the world with our Love Yoga Tees 💚. You can see them everywhere from Alaska to New Zealand! Croatia, San Francisco, New York, The Grand Canyon, Italy, Hawaii and more!

But mostly we share the love in over 20 classes each week, on the mats, every single day, right here on Hickory Street in Albany, Oregon… grass seed capital of the world?  (Seems fitting that our first weekly group class was a group of grass seed farmers – Thanks guys!).  

Our first priority, our goal, our vision our mission… is to create a place and space for you to practice yoga, connect with others, have fun and share the Love.

So please come visit, revisit, and let us know how we can help.  We’re here because of you… and for you. 

From the bottom of our hearts…

Thank You 💚

When I found LOVE, I was in the midst of all the things: parenting, working full-time, grad-schooling; but not much that was just for me. I knew I wanted to strengthen my yoga practice, I knew this would be the very best thing I could do for myself— allow myself a hour just for myself. I didn’t even know fully yet how it would impact my life.

I immediately felt at home when I walked through the doors— and furthermore, I felt welcomed right where I was at. I had previously done some yoga dvds at home and some classes here and there; but nothing brought me into my practice like this studio. I was noncommittal initially, coming to $5 drop-in classes, feeling I could justify that most. Then one day I was positively challenged to purchase a pass for myself— more like a challenge to commit to my yoga practice. (Thanks for doing that, Suzanne.)

Yoga has ultimately transformed how I live and how I function in my day to day life. I came to recognize how strong I am, how confident I can be when I find a little flow and calm. I learned how to breathe better because of yoga practice.

And when I completed teacher training and began leading classes, I found my voice. (Cue the unclogging of the throat chakra.) It felt natural to pay it forward to others, so to speak, by sharing what has been so important for my life with others. In addition to teaching Restorative on Wednesday nights (one of my long time favorite classes even before I started leading it), I teach daily flow classes to middle schoolers with special needs with the primary focus being self-regulation through calming the nervous system through flow, breathing, and interception.

Yoga is for everyone. LOVE is for everyone.

Class Times:
Restorative Yoga Wednesdays 7:00pm
