“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
Jan Pratt
Event Director Colorado Springs
Yoga Rocks the Park is excited to have Jan Pratt join the team and bring YRP to Colorado Springs for the 2015 season. Jan has been a "yogi in
training" for the past 25 years and has found that yoga was a great
complement to gymnastic, dance and hiking and that a yoga mat could travel
anywhere! She has been fortunate enough to train at yoga ashrams in both Austria and Germany. She is 200 RYA trained,
trained in Accessible Yoga ,Karma Kids yoga and prenatal yoga.
Jan has also been passionate about children for most of her life. While having 4 children of her own, she has also owned a preschool, been a children's librarian and currently is employed in District 11 schools.

a.k.a. The Inspirer / Visionary
"My favorite thing about Yoga Rocks the Park is that it's the opposite of the world view we see on CNN. Most people want to see peace on earth but don't know how to create it. YRP is a little slice of enlightened community shared under open sky in cities across the U.S. each week. Adults and their children all join together to create a peaceful experience and bring that energy out into the world. Ghandi said, 'Be the change you want to see in the world.' Well, show up, share your smile and create an enlightened world by working on your own path and assisting others on theirs. I pray YRP is a gateway for people to find their teacher and Sangha as they head towards the removal of suffering and the increase in peace. May all beings be happy, peaceful and at ease!"

Erica Hill - Erica first experienced Yoga Rocks the Park in Denver a few years
ago. She found it to be a glorious way to
reconnect, recharge, and revel in the beauty of the great outdoors with
hundreds of other yogis. The music and
sense of community kept her coming back year after year.
In 2015, Erica moved back home to Utah and is thrilled to bring Yoga Rocks the
Park with her. “I know that Salt Lake City will be a
magnificent back drop to practice yoga outdoors. Yoga Rocks the Park is an incredible way to
sample different teacher styles and music while connecting with fellow yogis
from all over the City. I am thrilled to
share this fantastic summer tradition in my home state. YRP is ideal for beginners and experienced
yogis alike. It’s also a wonderful way
for families to spend their Sunday morning together because we offer a class
for children at the same time. I can’t
wait to see everyone at the park this summer!”

Wayne continued as the facilities manager for the studio and has been active in managing the yoga business for the last four years while Will went through the 800 hour Yoga Teacher Training and became a yoga teacher.
