My friend Lori just opened a new studio in the Duluth Georgia area – Yoga North Atlanta. I went to the opening class this weekend and she taught a great Ashtanga based class that was very challenging, yet grounded in alignment. It was a great showing for the studio’s first yoga class – I counted 15 students.

I’ll try to get some pictures the next time I go because the space itself was very nice with a separate reception area and very large dressing area. Lots of studios are cramped so it was refreshing to have plenty of space.

I know there is a Bikram studio in that area but I don’t think anyone else is teaching Ashtanga classes in the Duluth area. Besides, I have been teaching with Lori for nearly 8 years and it would be tough to find a more experienced, knowledgeable yoga teacher.
