About Lakes Area Yoga Association

The Lakes Area Yoga Association was founded in 1995 as a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing yoga to the Lakes area. 
Our Board of Directors includes founders Martha Kuehn and Sharon Fodness, along with yoga instructor Jane Peterson. 
Our business manager, equipment manager, and twelve trained teachers currently on our staff provide yoga to hundreds of students every year.
As a non-profit organization, we depend entirely on class fees to operate.

While our asana classes are based on the Iyengar method, they are also somewhat eclectic and vary with each teacher's background. 
Our teachers respect each individual's abilities and needs, and offer appropriate variations for the asanas as appropriate.

LAYA offers classes during Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer sessions,
with a variety of levels available at several locations, including Brainerd (804 Oak St. in the former Washington School), Nisswa, and Ideal Community Center.
Please let us know if you have any questions or if you are interested in taking a yoga class.
