Inspired by living temples in India and spiritual teachings, I dreamed of a yoga studio where the mood made you want to be a yogi, and the classes and teachings helped you become a yogi. From years of study and lucky introductions to wild inspiring souls, I made friends and found teachers who are incredibly dynamic and powerful in their sadhana (yoga practices) and teachings. I knew I needed to gather them under one roof and several skylights so everyone could come closer to their own souls and experience yoga.

Glenn, a Wall Streeter and yoga student for many years, was ready for a change and agreed to join me in creating the studio. Driven by a big idea, the generosity of many and a love for yoga, Yogamaya was born in 2010.
