About Lotus Strength Yoga

Wellness That Goes Beyond the Mat

Lotus Strength Yoga was created with the belief that wellness isn't about becoming someone else. It's about learning how to better support the body and mind you have today while building the strength, confidence, and resilience to continue growing.

Here, yoga is more than flexibility, and wellness is more than a workout.

Our approach brings together mindful movement, mobility, strength, breathwork, relaxation, nutrition, and meaningful wellness experiences to help you feel stronger, move more comfortably, manage stress, and create a healthier relationship with your body.

Whether you're stepping onto a yoga mat for the first time, returning to movement after time away, or looking for a more personalized approach to your wellness, there is a place for you here.

You Don't Have to Be Flexible to Begin

One of the biggest misconceptions about yoga is that you need to already be flexible, strong, or experienced before walking into a class.

You don't.

At Lotus Strength Yoga, the practice meets you where you are.

Rather than forcing your body into a pose or trying to make your practice look like someone else's, you're encouraged to understand your body, respect its boundaries, and discover ways to move that genuinely serve you.

Some days that means building strength. Other days it means improving mobility, slowing down, breathing more deeply, or simply giving yourself permission to rest.

Progress doesn't have to mean pushing harder. Sometimes progress is learning to listen.

Why "Lotus Strength"?

The lotus flower grows through dark, muddy water toward the light.

It doesn't wait for perfect conditions before it begins to grow.

That idea is at the heart of Lotus Strength Yoga.

Strength isn't only about what you can lift or how difficult of a yoga pose you can perform. Strength can also be choosing to begin again, taking care of yourself during a difficult season, accepting where you are today, or continuing to grow through circumstances you didn't choose.

The goal isn't perfection.

The goal is growth.

More Than a Yoga Studio

Lotus Strength Yoga has grown into a space for whole-person wellness.

Our offerings may include group yoga and movement classes, private yoga, strength and mobility training, assisted stretching, sound meditation, nutrition and wellness support, workshops, community events, and unique experiences that bring wellness outside of the traditional studio setting.

While each experience may look different, they share the same purpose:

To help you build a stronger connection with your body, your wellbeing, and yourself.

Meet Megan

Lotus Strength Yoga was founded by Megan Breza-Patchell, a yoga instructor, certified personal trainer, nutrition professional, and competitive strength athlete.

Megan's background in both yoga and strength training shaped the philosophy behind Lotus Strength Yoga: we don't have to choose between strength and softness.

There is value in challenging the body, and there is value in slowing down enough to listen to it.

Her approach combines education with experience so students aren't simply told what movement to perform—they're encouraged to understand why they're doing it, how it should feel, and how movement can support them beyond the time they spend on the mat.

Most importantly, Lotus is intended to be a welcoming place for real people and real bodies.

You don't have to arrive as the strongest, most flexible, healthiest, or most confident version of yourself.

You can begin exactly where you are.
