The Bhakti Yoga Studio, Mayfield Heights

Under the encouraging guidance of 200-hour-certified yoga instructor Latia Phillips-Bey, yogis of all abilities hone their practice in Hatha– and Vinyasa–style classes. Latia's knowledge of anatomy is particularly helpful during beginning-level Hatha yoga sessions, during which establishing proper alignment of the mind, body, and spirit in the fundamental yoga postures acclimates new students to the art. Once students have grasped the basics, Latia teaches them how to hold the postures for longer periods of time during intermediate yoga, or she'll guide them as they attempt the more athletic Vinyasa style, which, like the song "Vogue," builds muscle and flexibility with a continuous series of poses.
