About Lori

Lori R. Avalon is the founder of AvaYoga and has been serving Brewster, New York, and the surrounding area for over 10 years. She teaches several gentle, beginner yoga classes as well as intermediate and power yoga. She also works as a personal trainer and energy worker.

A year ago while looking to open a larger studio in Brewster, Lori was invited by Dr. Anne Brandon DC to teach at Dr. Brandon’s new Wellness Center. “This past year it has been perfect for me to share space at this wonderful location,” says Lori.

Lori has an eclectic yoga background. She is a 500 Hour Kripalu Certified instructor however her original 200 hour yoga study was completed through a wide variety of yoga traditions and Ashrams.

In addition she holds a 200 hour certification with The Rocky Mountain Institute for Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda, and she is trained in Phoenix Rising Yoga.

For the past five years she has been an invited guest teacher at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York and plans to teach there again in 2012. She teaches, not only the benefits of the poses and breath work, but also shares the deeper meaning of yoga. She currently has clients in their tenth year of study with her.

Lori has also continued to work as a personal trainer and energy worker for the past 10 years. Her specialties in these three areas are complementary to each other and can be incorporated into your personalized program. Feel free to inquire about private sessions and group classes by calling (845) 278-2331 or emailing info@avayoga.com.
