DANVILLE

Lori Coffey was introduced to yoga and meditation after a spine injury in the late 90's. It has been the benefits of the ancient practice of body-mind union that has helped her with pain management, flexibility, strength, stress reduction and the many other benefits these ancient practices offer. From her own yoga practice, Lori brings to her students the union of breath and movement to focus the mind and bring awareness to the alignment, balance, and strength for each asana while being very present in the moment. In addition to the physical benefits of yoga, Lori aims to teach students to appreciate the non-physical benefits of practice by returning to lessons learned on the mat in their daily lives off the mat. 

Lori is an E-RYT 500 and Yoga Therapist, registered with the International Association Yoga Therapist, Yoga Alliance and is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider. She is also Stress Reduction, Life Coach and Reiki I & II certified. She certified through the Arthritis Foundation Aquatic program and taught Aqua Arthritis from 2003-2010. She has studied under the nations most respected yoga teachers, and continues to deepen her yoga studies that will benefit in the many classes, workshop and those who have chronic health conditions. Lori has been teaching yoga since 2008.

Kim is a Nuclear Medicine Technologist who has taken her passion for healing others in a holistic direction. This has led her to pursue certification in Muscle Reflex Response Testing, Digestive Health Professional and Reiki Master. Kim came to yoga for physical fitness and found a mind, body and spirit connection that set her on a path of healing her childhood trauma. A naturally compassionate and sensitive soul, Kim is committed to helping others with a natural approach to healing and to self-discovery through many different styles of yoga.

After a long career as a Senior Vice President of marketing and communications for a large not-for-profit organization, Mindi found that she could motivate more people through classes, personal yoga instruction and yoga teacher training than through a mass marketing campaign.

In September 2013, Mindi founded Main Street Yoga in Speedway, IN to serve a growing town with expanding interests that lacked a yoga studio. The Speedway community quickly embraced Main Street Yoga as their own. In 2015 Mindi opened a second studio in Danville, right on the main square of this quaint, historic town. Peace through Yoga expanded to a third location in October 2017. Today, three warm and welcoming studios bring serenity to the heart Speedway, Danville and Franklin Indiana.

Mindi inspires her students to find beauty in their bodies and deeper meaning in their lives through individual expression of yoga poses. She brings sensitivity and attention to alignment in her classes so her students may deepen their awareness and experience the fullness of life both on and off the mat. Her concept of “real life yoga” makes Peace through Yoga’s neighborhood studios warm and inviting without pretense or judgment. As the Director of Peace through Yoga’s Real Life Yoga Immersion, Mindi has expanded this concept of living your yoga to the training of future teachers and dedicated yoga practitioners in a thorough and inspirational training program that exceeds Yoga Alliance’s requirements for the 200-hour certification.

Sometimes a light shines through a crack in the darkness. This is how Abbey came to yoga. After enduring betrayal, profound loss and illness, Abbey found happiness in her life. She met her husband, a native of Danville, Indiana, and moved from her home in Illinois to this charming community where Peace through Yoga has been established since 2015. Abbey had never practiced yoga in a studio despite being an active person. It took some time before she found the courage to enroll in a class and she hasn't looked back since. Abbey identifies completing Peace through Yoga's 200-hour teacher training program as one of the best decisions she has made. Yoga improved so many aspects of her life, not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually. Now she is passionate about helping people of all ages cultivate a love for yoga so they may benefit from all that yoga can offer them in life.

Hope has been teaching alignment-based yoga with heart-opening themes since 2013. She has over 1,000 teaching hours which makes her an Experienced 200 Hour Registered Teacher (E-RYT 200). She is also an Ashaya Yoga® Licensed Teacher (AYLT).

Hope's classes will leave you feeling strong and open to all that life has to offer.
