"Welcome to Mai Town Yoga"

Dan's been practicing yoga since 2008 & teaching yoga since 2009. Yoga has provided him with the balance he needed in his life to finish losing massive amounts of weight saving his life from obesity. He lost right at 120 pounds from 2004-2009 & continuing his practice he's kept the weight off. Dan has also attempted to push past the mental & physical limits of his practice. As a Yoga practitioner & instructor Dan attempts the hard work of awareness & equanimity. Providing students with a challenging yet very safe immediate moment experience is paramount to his teaching style.

Dan's meditation teaching lineage traces back 2500 years ago to Gautama Buddha and his yoga teaching lineage traces back to Lahiri Mahasaya who lived from 1828 to 1895.

Dan teaches Multiple Style Asana/Vinyasa Flow Beginner/All Level/Advanced Postures using a Yang or Yin energetic approach. This also includes but is not limited to, Meditation, Core Strengthening, Muscle Fiber Activation & Breathing Exercises.

If you were to ask me what yoga is I would say that yoga is strong medicine. Yoga is molding with constant time & pressure. & with all things... time & pressure will bring the change.

My yoga journey began in March of 2013. I decided to get fit, and found Mai Town Yoga on Groupon. After a few classes, I was hooked. Yoga brought me peace and healing. Yoga just made sense to me, and I wanted to share my new found passion with others. In 2014, I became a certified yoga instructor. This journey is truly amazing...I am continuing to learn and go deeper into the practice.

I'm a 47 year old mother of 11 children ranging in age from 30 to 9. After doing bodybuilding for two years I was interested in adding something new into my exercise routine. I kept seeing the Mai Town Yoga studio which at the time was next to my doctor's office. After going to my first hot yoga class I was hooked. I love the physical and mental challenge of yoga.

I started my fitness career in the 80's as an aerobic instructor. I have always loved exercise and staying in shape. With a strong back ground in nutrition and physical fitness, it has been my passion to help others achieve their diet and fitness goals.

Yoga has been part of my work out program for about 15 years.. I would take a class once or twice a week to get a good stretch after my weight training.

I became very serious with my Yoga practice in 2012. As I've aged, I found that I enjoyed Yoga much more than the other exercise programs I've done in the past.

I love how I feel both physically and mentally.

As my love for Yoga grew so did my desire to become a teacher to share this gift with others, and to let others know it's never too late to start a yoga practice.
