Ben Merchant

Ben has always had a deep desire to know about movement and health. He first took a yoga class 20 years ago and knew it was a great way to connect his body and mind in a healthy way. He studied martial arts and went deep into running to learn more about the body and the connections one can know. While training as a runner and coaching runners for years he turned to yoga for balance in his life. 10 years ago he found Laurel Van Matre’s classes and knew that she taught in a style that spoke deeply to him. Having completed the 200 hour YTT at YOGA Garden he wants to help others connect their mind and bodies in a healthy and positive way.
