Our Story
We opened our doors in 1995 and for over 25 years our goal has been to provide excellent yoga instruction in a relaxed, friendly environment. We believe yoga is for everyone, and whether you’re coming to class to stay in shape, relieve stress, address chronic aches and pains, or connect to a deeper part of yourself, everyone is welcome at Silverlake Yoga!
Our approach is eclectic, influenced by diverse yoga traditions and teachers — Iyengar, Ashtanga, White Lotus, and Erich Schiffmann. Collectively we have over a hundred years of teaching experience! One of our strengths is our Beginners Classes. Co-owner, Jonathan Emerson teaches in a style that’s easy to follow and makes yoga fun and accessible for everyone – regardless of age, physical condition or prior experience of yoga. For more advanced students, we offer Flow classes that provide a challenging and energizing workout. Another of our strengths is our extensive Prenatal program. Co-owner, Juliette Kurth, is a certified doula and has been teaching Prenatal Yoga for over 20 years. She also offers continuing support for new moms with her popular Baby and Me classes. Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or absolute beginner, we think you’ll find a home at Silverlake Yoga.
