LUKE LOGGINS
RYT-200 Yoga Alliance Certified
Luke enjoys practicing yoga outdoors because it provides a more relaxed atmosphere than a traditional yoga studio. He was raised playing in the sand and jumping in the water, so flowing on the beach or anywhere outdoors connects him to a sense of playfulness and ease. Luke’s carefully curated playlists tend to include mellow beats and electronic tunes, and once you start flowing, you can expect some funky soul and smooth RnB. Luke believes that people find yoga (or yoga finds them) because they are dealing with some sort of pain. Through practice, we come out on the other end with a deeper understanding of ourselves.
