Our Philosophy

Here at White Light Studios, we believe that everyone can achieve balance in body, mind and spirit. Our teachers encourage each student to challenge themselves so they can achieve inner growth and peace. We believe that competition is unnecessary in yoga. Each student should work at their own pace, pushing little by little each day. The teachers at White Light Studios will guide you through your spiritual journey.
