Lanita Ugstad
My path of Yoga began in the year 2000, when I attended my first yoga class. I instantly fell in love with the practice, for the first time in a long time, I felt connected. I embraced the practice as a way to have some “me” time and relieve stress; however, the practice fed my heart & soul and I no longer felt as if I was searching for what was “missing”. In 2007 I knew I would teach; there was so much more to explore through not only the physical practice of asana, but also through breath and spirituality, music and mantra. I was blessed to obtain my 200hr certification through the teachings
