About Spiritus Yoga

A friend dragged me to a yoga class in 1999.  I was a single mother with 2 kids, going through a rough time. 

This studio was built in the teacher's backyard, with glass walls, candlelight and soft music. The teacher gave us down-filled comforters during savasana and she wore bright red lipstick and a beautiful white turban. I was enchanted.

Back then, I didn't really understand what was going on in that tiny glass studio but  I felt love, wisdom and truth and I was hooked. 

Spiritus was born of the desire to give to others what I was given in 1999- a compassionate environment offering three things:


CLARITY 

Why are you here? What are you doing with the precious minutes of your life? How can you live skillfully, both with the ordinary routines as well as the out-of-the-box surprises? 


CARE (as in "self"-care)

We all want to live well and need support to do so.  Often friends and family are unable or unwilling to give us what we truly need. Yoga offers the tools for you to thrive and survive in all circumstances.


COMMUNITY
