Moving (back) to Philly by ekachakra

My partner and I are moving to Philadelphia this summer. We’ll be there for a year. This will actually be my second time living in Philly–I did my undergrad at Penn–but I moved away in 2000 I’m sure a lot of things have changed since then. One thing I hear is that Philly now has a very good yoga scene, something that didn’t exist when I lived there. If anyone knows of good studios or teachers in Philly, I’d be grateful for your recommendations.

At this point, I’m not sure if I’ll try to teach in Philly. There’s a small possibility that I will, but I can’t say for sure yet. At the very least, I’m excited to be practicing yoga again in a big city.

After reading “how much is too much” and then this, I couldn’t resist a comment. have you tried TriYoga? There’s a center in Havertown (just outside Philly) and I think you might grow to appreciate the challenging yet intuitive sequences… I’ve been practicing and teaching for years and have never injured myself in my practice– and have rehabilitated myself from injuries sustained “off the mat” through my practice… Worth looking into, I’d say.

Good luck with the move and finding a new Yogic home!
(I would be beside myself if I had to pick a new studio.)

I found your blog while looking for yoga studios in Philly…I’m interested to hear if you have found some good ones, as I am moving to Philly in September and over the course of my visits there haven’t found many or one that I really like. I’ll be moving from Chicago, where there is an abundance of amazing teachers and studios and am sad at the prospect of leaving that behind…

The studio I attend in south Jersey just opened a Philly location at 1519 South Street: Anjali Power Yoga. The studio owner, Cheryl, is Baptiste trained and is excellent.
