Yoga & Events
Yoga is communion. Communion is Yoga. Or, more precisely, the yoga practice contains communal potential. But the state of communion, when achieved, is a sign of the successful embodiment of yoga as a state of being. My goal is to achieve this state of being for ourselves, for the sake of each other, through each other, whether it is on the mat, in the kava circle, or anywhere else in Tampa Bay.

John Teaches Yoga!
John Tuskey is a RYT 200. He graduated from Lotus Pond Center for Yoga and Health in June 2024. His favorite style to teach is a strong vinyasa flowed followed by a chakra meditation to fully utilize the energetic space created by the practice. He is currently working on a research project which uses Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of Space as a theoretic foundation for a style of guided meditation.
John hosts kava circles!
John has been preparing and drinking his own kava for five years. Kava (Piper methysticum) is a plant native to the Pacific islands. Kava also refers to the mildly intoxicating drink prepared from its roots. The traditional cultures who drink it today recognize its ability to bring people together. He loves to share the finest quality kava with others, as well as share his knowledge and research of both the plant and the cultures who traditionally use it. Through his research, he is currently developing ways for the modern person to fully utilize kava's communal potential in the way that traditional kava cultures do to this day.
