EASTON YOGA
610.923.7522
Since 2001  Easton Yoga has been a partnership between our students, teachers and staff.  Together we have created a center for healthy living in the Greater Lehigh Valley, Western New Jersey and Upper Bucks County Area.

Located in the heart of historic downtown Easton, three blocks from center square and just minutes off of routes 78 & 22, we provide a convenient sanctuary for relaxation and revitalization.

For 9 years Easton Yoga has been a resource for our community through programs that integrate time-honored traditions with our busy lifestyle along with new and exciting twists to keep you healthy and balanced!

Throughout the year we offer additional opportunities to study pilates, hooping, creative movement, nutritional counseling and seminars on enhancing a holistic lifestyle.

Our Belly Dance programs have come to be a place for women to dance, connect with their feminine beauty, and learn rhythm.   In the past four years we have grown this program to offer a variety of dance styles from teachers that can provide an environment that is encouraging to all ages, & body shapes!

Please feel free to call the studio or email us if you have any questions about our center.
