We at the Centered Place yoga studio are dedicated to promoting well-being, reducing stress, and inspiring peace. It all begins with our students: They enjoy the benefits and bring them home to their families and friends. From there, the impact continues in ever expanding ripples through the community and beyond.

The Centered Place is more than just a studio where yoga is taught; it is a place that embodies the complete yoga experience. As soon as you enter the studio, you feel warmth, light, and peace.  It is spacious and sunny, and the floor is heated to help welcome you and to melt tension on wintery days. Nestled in the hills of Central Massachusetts, the custom-designed studio provides the perfect atmosphere to restore and rejuvenate your spirit while learning the practice of authentic Svaroopa Yoga.

 

Since 1988, founders Nancy Nowak and Phil Milgrom have strived to offer their students an exceptional yoga experience. Every one of our teaching staff is professionally trained and highly experienced. Nancy and Phil each have well over 500 hours of training in Svaroopa® yoga. Between them, they have over 54 years of teaching experience. Ellan and Patty each have several hundred hours of Svaroopa yoga training and many years of yoga practice. We all continue to develop our expertise by attending continuing-education courses and advanced teacher trainings.

 

We are not teaching yoga for our livelihood but rather as a service to the community. We regularly donate our resources and services to local fund-raising events as well as for scholarships.
