Our Yoga Teachers

Bhumi could not serve fully without the help of the other teachers, staff, and karma yoga volunteers. We all share a common interest in the well-being of our students.

Our yoga teachers, each certified by Bhumi's Yoga and Wellness Center and registered by the national Yoga Alliance, are an integral part of the community. These devoted souls teach and take classes with Bhumi, continuing to learn and share what they love. They teach outreach programs at hospitals, recreation centers, and wellness facilities around the Cleveland area. There are over 200 Bhumi's Certified Teachers in Ohio alone.

Since Bhumi's Yoga is primarily a training center with a limited number of regular public classes, our over 200 graduate teachers teach at other yoga studios as well. The more yoga, the better!

Following are the senior teaching staff for Bhumi's classes and programs.

RYT means "Registered Yoga Teacher" with the national Yoga Alliance.
