During a flare-up of her Crohn's Disease in 1998, Peggy Bergin found that yoga helped to relax her body and mind, and she has been a student of the practice ever since. Peggy completed her Registered Yoga Teacher certification (200-hour) at Global Yoga and Wellness center and specializes in Prenatal, Hatha, and Vinyasa yoga. Utilizing her background in theater and her graduate degree in education, Peggy's teaching goals include sharing the benefits of yoga with a wider audience - especially those living with physical limitations, as well as introducing the practice to the next generation of yogis - children. Peggy is the mother of two young girls who remind her to keep a calm mind and joyful spirit.

What Students Say

"I stumbled onto and into this studio about a year ago. And here I found myself, in a small, warm, loving space that made me feel as if I was being held and empowered from the moment I walked in the door. I immediately knew there was no judgment here; there were no extraordinary expectations about skill or experience. The space was attractive, but not just for the sake of being trendy; it was designed to please all the senses and ease the spirit. It was open and breezy and the colors and textures made my insides unwind.

I began reacquainting myself with the ancient practice and became a regular patron at Yoga Trek, trying out different classes and instructors to get a feel for what I liked and to learn more about the philosophy. Quickly discovering that this place and practice did not only help me maintain life enough to get from day-to-day, it was better—it fed my soul!! I felt stronger every time I walked out the door and it was giving me a new lens with which to see life and living! I watched as my body, mind, and spirit all began to blossom right before my very eyes. Many things and people have contributed to my blossoming process, but at the heart of it… is this ancient practice being so lovingly bestowed to me by the instructors at this small but mighty studio!"
