Lori Black/Eternal One Yoga
Drawn to yoga in 1975, Danville native Lori Black embarked on her lifelong calling by studying yoga philosophy and “making up” her own forms of meditation. In ‘86 she moved to the Rocky Mountains and spent the next 30 years living her yoga - initially certified in a classical hatha style - Lori grew her full time practice into an integrative therapeutic approach and offered classes through many venues including the Air Force Academy, hospitals and colleges. Having returned to Danville in 2023, Lori looks forward to working with local yoga teachers to help create a strong yoga kula in Vermilion county via public classes, workshops, trainings and retreats. Lori knows that everyone can practice some form of yoga (even if all one could do is breathe and move fingers) because the practice is all-inclusive, and ultimately Yoga - all of it - is a lesson in Love

Brigena Danae Butler 200 hour Yoga instructor My desire is to teach and inspire others to practice yoga. My style of preference is vinyasa with positive affirmations. Yoga to me is a personal journey. It’s far more than just a physical practice. The transformation starts on the inside. It is also beneficial for our overall health; mind, body, and soul. I hope to make an everlasting impact on everyone who attends my yoga class.
