Today we’d like to introduce you to Todd McLaughlin.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Todd. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
My wife and I have been practicing yoga and teaching together for the past 19 years. We own and run Native Yoga Center in Juno Beach now for the past 14 years. When we met 20 years ago, we both fell in love and starting practicing together daily. We both completed a Yoga Teacher Training in California and then had the opportunity to co-own a yoga studio in San Diego for four years together. Once we started to get our groove on teaching, we decided to move back to my hometown here in Juno Beach, Florida and have been teaching in the same location since 2006. We traveled to India multiple times to study and to Thailand and had the opportunity to learn from some of the most amazing teachers. We work really hard.
We strive to better ourselves every day. We have two children aged 14 and 7 and being able to do what we love and are passionate about and raise our family is our dream come true. Yoga has the power to completely transform individuals which we get to observe on a daily basis. We recently have risen to the challenge of owning a small business during shutdowns due to pandemic by moving all of our classes to online instruction as well as keeping our studio open for small groups. It has been the greatest learning experience and we don’t take for granted a single moment the chance to remain in operation. We want to encourage everyone to start strong and build health as a preventative and embrace every day.
Has it been a smooth road?
Oh well, didn’t know this was the follow-up question. Lol, We have faced so many challenges over the years but ultimately, we have never given up and we stay focused on knowing we never will.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Native Yoga Center – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
We are a local yoga studio that we teach in every single day. I specialize in Ashtanga yoga, vinyasa yoga, gentle and yin yoga. I am a licensed massage therapist and I specialize in Thai Massage. Together the use of yoga exercise, breathing and massage therapy is my specialty.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love the fact that Palm Beach County is still low key, although it’s growing rapidly. I am born and raised here so I suppose it is the rapid growth that is my greatest dislike. I like slow, sustainable growth. 🙂
