Bikram Yoga Yorktown

Peter Shedletsky found his way to Yoga and meditation because of overwhelming stress and chronic back pain. His journey started in 2012 in our Bikram Yoga studio. After experiencing the instant benefits of the practice, he wanted to share it with others. In June of 2014, he became a certified Bikram Yoga teacher and joined the Yorktown Bikram Team. Soon, he also got trained as a Yin 96 Yoga Instructor, and about a year later, took a Sivananda Teacher's Training Course in the Bahamas. He stayed in a Sivananda ashram for another three months to teach and deepen his personal practice. In 2019, he traveled to Kerala, India, where he studied with Yoga Masters and assisted in a Yoga Teachers Training. Peter believes that Yoga and Meditation can improve everyone's life, and it's a gift that should be available to everyone. During the Covid-19 lockdown, Peter was offering free online Yoga Classes for the public. He even developed a special beginners program just for men. Because of the transformation he experienced through Yoga, Peter is not only a teacher but a true ambassador of Yoga. His students love Peter's gentle and playful approach and his "signature" relaxations. Besides teaching and practicing Yoga, Peter runs a house painting company. His passions are heavy metal music, reading, hiking, urban exploration and photographing old cemeteries, abandoned buildings, and ruins.
