history

Since its move to Carytown in 2000, the woman-owned and operated studio has developed a full schedule of classes in a range of yoga styles for all levels of students; a nationally-recognized Teacher Training program offering advanced study with internationally-known instructors; and has come to be recognized as an important community resource in Richmond and central Virginia.

Lynn Brooke and Anne Battle, along with Pam McGeorge and JoAnn Bibb, co-founded Yoga Source in a small studio at St. Stephen’s Church in 1998. From those modest beginnings, increasing demand for more yoga classes inspired the founders to move the studio in 2000 to a larger, more accessible location: two second-floor studios in the Cary Court Shopping Center, in the heart of Carytown. By 2002, construction had begun on a third studio space within the suite, and Yoga Source’s programs had expanded to include a nine-month certification program for aspiring yoga instructors.
