About Satya Yoga

---

Satya Yoga has been a part of the Saugatuck community since 2007 and has been under the ownership of Teresa Van Eyk since 2011. 

From the Owner;

Like many people, I first got into yoga as a way to improve my physical fitness. What I found was so much more than exercise. The more I showed up, the more I appreciated the subtler magic of the practice. It helped me become more aware of my internal dialogue and soften it into a kinder, more encouraging voice and my self compassion was changing the way I experienced life. 

A year or so into my practice, the founder of Satya Yoga mentioned that she was having a hard time finding someone to purchase the business. At the time I thought this could never work. I had no teaching experience or certifications, no money to invest, and no business experience. But some things are meant to be and the Universe seemed to have a bigger plan. I entered a work trade agreement with the previous owners to reduce the cost of purchasing the business. I kept my “day” job as a bartender for another 5+ years. My husband Michael became more involved and offered support. Slowly over time with patience and diligence the community and the studio began to grow. 

Nearly 15 years later, after moving locations three times, going online during covid, opening In The Elements - a sister business for outdoor rentals  and more recently expanding into Manifest Events -  a second studio/event venue next door, Satya has continued to grow into a thriving community of locals, seasonal residents, and weekend visitors alike. 

It’s taken a village, and it will continue to evolve, just like the practice. I’m honored to share this gift with you and to be in service of you and your practice. I am grateful that your journey led you here too. 

With care,
