No Phone Zone.

We have decided to create a NO PHONE ZONE inside the studio doors.

In the last couple weeks there has been an increase in phone usage in the space which has led to repeated accidents.  We have had phones broken, phone alerts and smart watch alerts going off during class, texts or emails written in class, and photography before and after— in the studio.

If you need to check your email, social media, text, make a call… whatever it may be, do it in the entry way or outside.  We want to ensure the privacy, safety and comfort for everyone who comes to practice.

We understand that the text, email, picture needs to be done, and support it 💯 (tag @yogainnovations please!) but it needs to be done outside of the studio walls.  If you need to bring your phone into the space we have handy storage blocks with double use behind the desk for $25.  

These blocks split in half and have a storage compartment inside.  If you need to bring your phone in, these blocks are perfect to keep it and others safe.  Those who do bring phones into the studio openly will be asked to bring it back to the entry way.

Thank you for respecting your neighbors practices as well as your own.  We appreciate your understanding. 

I am the meat and potatoes, caffeine and chocolate kind of yogi. I like a good glass of wine as much as a good Om. Yoga has always played a significant role in supporting my athletic lifestyle. In college, I majored in business management with a focus on advertising and marketing. While working at an advertising agency in Boulder Colorado I learned a valuable lesson: “you must sell the truth of the product.” The truth of the matter was, there wasn’t anything I believed in enough to commit to selling. On top of a mountain, while skiing I confessed this dilemma to my husband. His response seemed so simple, so obvious “why don’t you own a yoga studio?” Finally, I had found a way to combine my two passions: business and yoga. The next natural step was to formally go through yoga teacher training. At Core Power Yoga in Denver Colorado I received my 200 hour certification in Power Flow and Bikram styles; in addition, to children's yoga and prenatal. Then, after teaching and living in PA, Dana Barone offered me the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the new owner of Yoga Innovations. In 2012, we celebrated the birth of our first daughter, as well as the new business venture. Fast forward to two kiddos and lots of years later I still look forward to continuing to build the yoga culture in the south hills and sharing the passion I have for the practice- and maybe a tip or two on the juggling act we call life.
