Down Dog Yoga Center
Down Dog Yoga Center opened in downtown Kalamazoo in the spring of 2014. Fiore partnered with Chris Lampen-Crowell, co-owner of Gazelle Sports, and former Awake and Aware owners Judy Huxmann and Cynthia Hoss to open the studio. Fiore came to a business agreement with the Awake and Aware owners and merged their business into Down Dog Yoga Center, enabling her to open the studio with a very experienced teaching staff and a small base of students.
Fiore is registered through Yoga Alliance at the Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher level, distinguishing herself with significant teaching experience since completing her first certification in 2009. Her yoga classes encourage students to let go of judgment and be fully present in the exploration of body, mind and spirit. The studio offers a variety of classes and styles to suit all who are interested in yoga practice.
