About Us
No Place Like OM is finally in our studio at 36 Tamarack Avenue, Danbury, CT. My wife Melinda and I run the studio.
I've been studying yoga for 11 years and teaching for 6 years. I received my teacher certification as a Kripalu yoga teacher in Spring of 2005. My focus is a gentle approach to yoga with an emphasis on making the practice your yoga practice.
Phoenix Rising in Bristol, Vermont is a great place to begin your explorations of yoga and yoga therapy. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is a way to help integrate your body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The work and studying to be a practitioner is something that, for me, goes well beyond a livelihood. The sense of presence I feel in my own body and mind while giving a session are incredible. A session can range between languid and relaxing to intense and powerful. I would invite you to visit the PRYT site for more information or just call the studio or email us to book a session with me to experience it first hand.
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
Per Session - $65.00

I had the fortune of meeting a wonderful teacher in 2005 named Karen O'Donnell Clarke at a training for teaching Adaptive Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis. I've used her techniques often in my classes for students who have needed an alternate way of doing asanas. If you are interested in more information about what Karen is doing you can find her at www.yogahealsus.com . If you're a teacher, she has trainings coming to an area near you in the Northeast.
Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health is a wonderous place in Lenox, Massachusetts full of good, friendly, caring people who want to do nothing less than transform you. Be it through their Yoga or Healing Arts or Retreat and Renewal programs, their goal is the same, to help You.
As I mentioned earlier, I did my Teacher Training at Kripalu. I have few words that can describe the experience of that training. It was one of the most powerful times I will ever experience and I strongly encourage anyone interested to attend. Just follow the links provided for more information. If you should decide to go for a weekend or a week, please use my Teacher ID number, YT-5243, when making your reservations. It will help me to continue my Kripalu training.
Well, that's it for now. We look forward to hearing from you. Check back often as we add more to our site.
Jai Bhagwan,
Marc and Melinda
