Down to Earth Yoga is pleased to announce new owners Adam Flores and Dhyana Houghtaling. Their vision for Down to Earth Yoga is to expand their client-focused model to include community-focused initiatives. “Our philosophy is simple: Do good and be good,” says Houghtaling. “We need a community to help us fulfill this philosophy.”

According to Flores, “Yoga has been over simplified and broken down to an exercise, and the deeper roots of self-healing have been lost.” Yoga’s incorporation of meditation and breathing can help improve a person’s mental well-being. Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness, increases body awareness, relieves chronic stress patterns, relaxes the mind, centers attention, and sharpens concentration. “This is a science of the mind which effects our body. It is easier to heal the mind/body through the physical practice of yoga,” says Flores.

Down to Earth Yoga has added a new class, Ashtanga Yoga: 8 Limb Practice, led by Ilicia Koslow on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. This 75-minute foundational practice is open to all levels from beginners to advanced.
