My love of Yoga began in 1998 while taking my first Hatha yoga class in college. I was majoring in Ceramics at the time and found yoga to compliment my studies and also to be a place of tranquility and great release. After maintaining a long time personal practice I decided it was time to share yoga’s virtues as well as my love and passion for this art form with others. My first teacher training was with Tim Miller in 2011, and soon afterward I did my second training with David Swenson and in 2013 completed my YTT200 with Susan Hamadock . My heart lies with Ashtanga yoga, the practice spoke to me the first time I tried it. There is something about the sound of the collective breath in a Mysore class and the silent motion of each student’s personal practice moving at their own pace that resonates with me. In March 2015 I sold my business of 10 years (The Artful Bean) to pursue my passion of Yoga and Art full time. In January 2016 I completed Khlasa Way Prenatal teacher training at Golden Bridge Yoga with Garmukh Kaur Khlasa.  In March of 2017 I Completed Reiki Level 3 training (Reiki Master). May 7th 2017 we welcomed a little baby yogi into our lives Calla Anjali Cavagnaro and couldn't be more greatfull for all of our blessings. After a long time coming our YTT500 was completed in 2020 and to complete our family Iyla Rose Cavagnaro joined us October 24th 2021.

Justin Cavagnaro

Justin has been following his creative side since childhood. He received an Associates Degree in Fine Arts in 1996 and went on to earn a BFA, with a major in Glassblowing and Woodworking, in 2001. He has been pursuing a career as an independent artist since that time. In 2011, with encouragement from his wife, Justin began practicing yoga at home. Shortly after beginning his yoga journey he stumbled onto the Ashtanga Yoga method. It was love at first bend. Though initially drawn to physicality of the Ashtanga practice, it didn’t take long for him to see the benefits manifesting themselves on a more internal and personal level. The aspect of yoga as “moving meditation” became more apparent, and deepened his commitment to his practice. Justin’s passion for the Ashtanga Yoga method led to his taking Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Trainings with Tim Miller and David Swenson. Those were followed up shortly thereafter with a 200 hour certification under Susan Hamadock of the Silver Lotus Training Institute and 500hr certification in 2020. Justin is hoping to inspire others to spend some time on their mats, getting to know their bodies and minds a bit better. He would like to show his students that by allowing themselves to have the time to practice, with a consistent effort great results can be achieved both on and, more importantly, off the mat. In March of 2017 Justin completed Reiki Level 3 training.
