Meeyogi, Tampa

Yoga is an ancient physical and spiritual discipline with roots dating back the 11th century—but you wouldn't know that by attending the classes held by Meeyogi. Not to say that founder and head instructor Mya Cato is irreverent to the practice. On the contrary, many of her classes stem from traditional styles, such as hatha and vinyasa. But where things get interesting is how she infuses those classic yoga modalities with a blast of youthful, modern energy. To add a little more life to sessions, she sets the tapestry of poses to soulful music, creating a uniquely rhythmic style known as Soul Yoga. Zumba was founded in the early 1990s. It's the perfect cardio-dance workout that uses choreography and music to create a fitness party environment. Viva Williams, founder and lead instructor of Soulher Power has incorporated her love for dance and fitness with her vivacious and spunky spirit to bring you her version of Zumba. In her classes, you can expect tons of Afro-Caribbean and salsa tunes paired with body-toning exercises. Viva also has been known to pair her style with other fun, alternative practices, including yogance, which combines flexibility-boosting poses with the free-flowing movement of dance.
