Namasté Yoga teachers, Yoga centers/studios, and other members of the Yoga community.

This post is coming to you from Matt Lerner, Chairman of the Main Street Yoga Centers, The Spiritual Life Society, and www.ElevateYoga.org-Elevate Akron Yoga Festival. It is kind of a public service announcement to the Facebook Yoga community. Since it has an active link, it may be not be allowed to be shared to some groups (so admins, please delete if necessary), but I assure you that I have no financial interest in whether you choose to join this exciting new organization or not. It is called "The American Yoga Council" or AYC for short. It is being formed as an alternative to Yoga Alliance, or YA for short. I still intend to support YA, but I think that AYC solves some of the problems that YA has been unable or unwilling to resolve...

Anyway, it is rather complicated to explain all the features and benefits of this new organization, so I suggest you click on the link and check it out for yourself... However, I feel that even if you understand everything on the AYC website, you will be even more pleased by the future features and benefits that they intend to roll out as they grow and evolve.

HERE's THE CATCH: They are offering steep discounts and benefits to early members, which are scheduled to end soon, so if you are interested, I SUGGEST THAT YOU VISIT THEIR WEBSITE AND JOIN ASAP...

Thanks reading this far. Have a great day! The AYC link is below.

Peace, Love, and Yoga,

Our Story

Since 1978, the SLS Yoga Center, also known as the Spiritual Life Society and Yoga Center, has been a safe and peaceful community where people from all walks of life can experience the deeper teachings that Yoga has to offer. Inside the historic Old Church on the Green, we practice and teach all aspects of the classical eight‐limbed Astanga Yoga (aka Raja Yoga) as codified by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. We offer instruction for students of all levels, including donation-based small group classes, special workshops, private, corporate, and offsite classes in all aspects of Yoga, meditation, philosophy, stress management, Yoga Nidra, and more.

We are proud to be Ohio’s oldest Yoga center with some of America’s most experienced Yoga teachers. We offer ongoing Yoga Teacher training and certification at all levels, including RYT-200, advanced/specialty certifications, and continuing education for teachers. We hope to continue to inspire and empower Yoga teachers and students on their life-long journey of growth and transformation.

Our building is also available for rental for weddings, concerts, and other events.
