Meet Caryn
Yoga changed my life. I built a studio so it could change yours.
Lotus Yoga & Wellness Center was born from my own journey with yoga and healing.
I discovered yoga later in life, during a time when stress and emotional pain had taken over so much of my life that I barely recognized myself. I tried therapy, medication, self-help books, and anything else I thought might help, but nothing seemed to quiet the noise in my mind.
Then I found yoga.
What started as a class quickly became so much more. Yoga became my happy place, my solace, and my way of taking care of myself. It taught me to quiet the “monkey brain,” let go of what I could not control, slow down, and understand that I was doing the best I could. It reminded me that I was strong, capable, and worthy.
Just as importantly, I found a community that welcomed me with open arms and helped me begin to heal my mind, body, and spirit.
Yoga changed my life. Lotus is my way of sharing that gift with others, creating a place where people can feel supported, connected, and reminded that even in the hardest seasons, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Caryn Hughes, founder
Why Lotus?
The lotus flower is a symbol of resilience, renewal, healing and transformation. Rooted beneath the surface in dark, muddy water, the lotus makes its way upward toward the light, eventually emerging to bloom beautifully above the water.
We chose the name Lotus Yoga & Wellness Center because we believe its journey reflects our own journey through life. We all experience challenges, change and seasons when finding our way forward may feel difficult. Yet, just like the lotus, we have the ability to rise, grow and bloom.
At Lotus, wellness isn't about perfection. It's about honoring where you are, nurturing your Mind, Body & Spirit, and giving yourself the space to heal, reconnect and grow.
The lotus reminds us that where we begin does not determine where we can bloom.
Rise.Heal.Grow.Bloom.
