Fair Trade Yoga Studio | Powell, Ohio
[by t gellenbeck]
We first met Sherry Hoff, owner of the new yoga studio FAIR TRADE YOGA, at our Run+Yoga event at Bend Active a few weeks back. She kindly donated her time to offer a yoga session after our 3-4 mile run!

I then caught up with Sherry at her soon-to-open studio in Powell. She showed me around and shared her goals, vision & grand plans for offering fitness classes in her new space. She was still finishing up some construction and decorating, but here is a quick look…

Where the magic sweat happens!
Sherry’s style and studio will offer a variety of yoga techniques and classes. On her website she states, “I offer specialized Yogic plans for all people. There are many paths of Yoga to explore and two of the most common ways to begin a personal practice are through the physical practice (Asanas) or through Meditation Yoga (Raja). I bring both of these together, to create and teach a holistic approach to the mind and body!”
Fair Trade will offer a variety of classes including heated [85-95 degrees], Power Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Slow Flow, Restorative, Guided Meditation and even kids’ classes.
I also got to meet up with Rachel Kerr, owner of The Beauty Barre [over coffee, of course!] She is a super sweet yogi, deserving of her own blog post all together [stay tuned!] Rachel will be teaching at Fair Trade and offers a power vinyasa style. She likes a fun, powerful workout, upbeat music and encourages you to sweat, sweat, sweat! Looking forward to taking her class and getting to know more about The Beauty Barre in 2015.

We took our first Vinyasa flow class with Sherry on a Saturday morning in January [2015]. It was a great class and we hope to return many times. There is even a jogging trail nearby, so a run+yoga day perhaps?
