Joshua Garner Yoga

My name is Joshua, and I do many things. One of those things is yoga.
There are so many reasons to do yoga. My reasons have changed over the years. I continued to go to yoga after my first class because I felt accepted and welcomed. I stayed because I no longer had migraines and my knee was no longer dislocating. I began to teach because it helped with my slow dance with depression. Teaching student the asana’s (poses) of Bikram brought me closer to that sense of purpose I was missing in my daily life. Chelsea Varin was my champion, my hero. Encouraging me at every step and counseling me though so many challenges in my yoga journey.
I eventually decided to take the 200 hour teacher training through hot yoga lake placid and hot yoga Saratoga, a program developed by Cindy Lunsford and Julie Bell. With the help of my fellow teacher trainees I found my voice in vinyasa yoga. Now I find myself teaching multiple classes a week, from restorative classes to power to free flowing vinyasa and Friday fun flow. I am truly blessed to have found a community of acceptance and of challenge and of continuing education in yoga.
