about the bhaktishop

Welcome!

The Bhaktishop is a labor of love, hatched over years of wanting to bring a celebration of the gifts of this deep and divine tradition that is yoga to as wide a community as we can reach. This practice comes in so many colors, shapes, and paths that it can be challenging at times to navigate the waters of “Which practice is right for me?”

The Bhaktishop Family

For us, the truth is that whatever practice resonates with you, calls you over and over again to the mat, and opens your heart, is the practice that is right for you! Lisa Mae and Diana share a deep love and respect for the poetry of life, the richness of the traditions of Hatha yoga, and the many mystical cultures from around the world that come together to shape a self-guided tour of your own personal journey within. We aim to honor and revere yoga in all of its diversity, with an attitude of grace and a willingness to allow the profound openings that are possible to pour forth from all of our hearts. With this grace and the resolute devotion to service to humanity, we humbly serve the notion that all beings everywhere deserve happiness and freedom!

Our studio offers a place in which your truth, beauty, and courageous spirits are brought out and celebrated—we deeply honor and respect your amazing path to your deeper self!  Our teachers all share different forms of vinyasa yoga, which is the yoga of conscious flow with the breath from one shape to another.  We offer wanderers and wonderers alike an abundantly joyful and divinely love-filled opportunity to dive deeply into their own mystery, encouraged on the yoga path by asana, pranayama, meditation, singing, community spirit, and opening in new and delightful ways. Welcome one and all to our new home!
