Mission

 

To build a community that supports healthier, happier lives.

 

Philosophy

 

At our studios we make yoga accessible and inclusive - without judgment, pressure or demands.  This is yoga for everyone!

 

The Yoga Vida method connects purposeful movements with conscious breath.  Our educational approach improves body awareness and promotes individual choice.  We present yoga in a way that helps you think independently so you can incorporate what you learn into your life beyond the mat.

Our classes may give you a sweet set of abs and a well-contoured backside, but these are merely physical benefits of a consistent practice.  Walking on your hands and touching your toes are discoveries along the path - not the destination.

 

In a traditional sense, yoga seeks peace of mind and happiness.  Asana alone may not get you there, but it opens the door to awareness in all forms.  At Yoga Vida, we use physical practice as an entry point to a calm, steady, and undisturbed mind.

 

We are committed to beginning and continuing your education with quality yoga at an affordable price.

 

History

 

Founded in 2009 by a Princeton University economics graduate, college ice hockey player, Wall Street broker turned yogi - Mike Patton.  And by an NYU alumna, former professional dancer, Extra TV correspondent, mother, yoga teacher, and wellness expert Hilaria Baldwin.

    The training was very good with excellent materials and mostly very solid instructors. The guest instructors were particularly good. Reviewing their current curriculum online, I believe they have improved the structure and focus of the training.

    The training is taught by knowledgable, experienced, and kind teachers. A wide variety of content is covered. For being 100% virtual, I was very impressed with the program and feel as though it gave me a solid background to begin teaching and completing more training.

    I had a very positive experience with the Yoga Vida Teacher Training program. I appreciated the flexibility of the schedule and the range of experienced teachers who offered their expertise in many different lineages of yoga. I also appreciated the teachers sharing their personal and professional journeys with getting involved in a serious yoga practice.
