Specialties
«Softer, Safer, Smarter Yoga»
We specialize in making yoga do-able, relaxing, and effective for all ages, sizes and levels of abilities. Our teachers are known for teaching safe, slower yoga without intimidation. We bring students into yoga who may have never dreamed they could do yoga, and in teaching those who have been keeping fit how to age slowly and gracefully through a slower, safer yoga practice. Owner and founder, Lanita Varshell, has taught over 10,000 classes since 1996. Her staff is well trained to customize each class based on those who are in attendance. Although we offer traditional Hatha Yoga, this is not hot yoga, or a hard-core work out Yoga Center. We are a mindfulness center, teaching body, mind, spirit yoga with a focus on breath and meditation.

History
Established in 1996.
A Gentle Way Yoga & Joyful Movement Center has been serving San Diego County since January 1996. Our founder, Lanita Varshell, began teaching yoga in local gyms, diet centers and karate studios, until she created a following of loyal students that helped her open a dedicated Yoga Center. August 1, 2000, we opened our first Baltimore Dr. location in La Mesa, and then moved January 2010 to a larger studio where we are today on Parkway Drive, just off Jackson.
