Jennifer Werner RYT-500
I have been practicing yoga since 2002 when I was introduced to it at the fitness center where I was attending classes. I loved it so much I decided to go through Teacher Training in 2003 and then again in 2005. Both experiences were wonderful as I learned so much more about my own practice and of course how to share it with others…
Julie Silberg RYT-500
I have maintained a steady yoga practice for the past fifteen years. For me, yoga is a living, growing practice, with something new to discover each time I come to my mat. The rewards I’ve reaped are plentiful: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. In 2014, I fulfilled my long-held aspiration of completing my …

Although I was not able to have a regular practice right away - I have for the last 6 years and was able to take the yoga teacher training in the spring of 2017, which transformed my life…

Lily Trombley
My journey with yoga began as a desperate search for a physically active outlet. I never really found gyms to be my kind of vibe, and in 2016 I had a friend who recommended yoga (specifically the Plymouth Yoga Room). I took my first class and was instantly hooked. Little did as I know, In search for a way to gain more physical strength, I gained so…
Jennifer Szkrybalo
A good friend of mine recommended I add yoga into my regular fitness routine of running and strength training back in 2013. Practicing yoga improved my range of motion, strengthened my core, and relieved so much tension in my tight runner’s hamstrings. I was impressed with how it enhanced my fitness level in every way…
Jill Conte
My yoga journey began in 2009, shortly after Plymouth Yoga Room opened. At the time, I was pregnant with my first child and used my practice to calm my ever busy mind. Two children later, I continued to strengthen my practice, coming one or two days a week, supplementing other physical activities…
Tony Gullitti
Before I began practicing yoga, I would stretch my back by laying on the carpet before I went to bed. I liked the way the firmness of the carpeted floor released the tension in my back. I looked at the firm yoga mats, and always thought I should try yoga. In 2010, for no other reason, I came to the Plymouth Yoga Room and never left…

I started my yoga practice 25 years ago after my first son was born. I needed a restorative and stress relieving exercise. I found it in a yoga videotape. I practiced almost every day until my second son and then more sporadically until giving it up for a while. I came back to it when my new employer had a class on site every week. Then …

I first started practicing yoga consistently at a local rec. center right after I graduated from college. I enjoyed exploring the different postures, growing my strength and balance, and just having a designated time where I could set my world aside for an hour. But as I practiced year after year, once a week wasn’t enough for me and I started craving…
