“I love SerenityYoga because the teachers there look like me and talk like me. They are truly compassionate and 100% of the time I leave class feeling physically and emotionally better than when I arrived.” ~ Meredith S.

It’s words like this that make Serenity Yoga such a special place.

Since 2012, our goal has been to provide a safe space where our students & community feel welcome to both learn & practice yoga while nurturing their mental health & spiritual well being. We’re real people, doing real yoga, with our real bodies. It’s an authentic experience that aims to bring a renewed sense of calm to your day.

As the owner of Serenity Yoga, Michele Lyman has learned that a huge part of yoga is finding compassion for yourself & others. And it’s this same experience that she shares with everyone who walks through the studio doors, signs up for a virtual class, or takes an online course.

And now, we’re thrilled to share that we’re expanding our team with the addition of an Operations Manager!
