Rusty Lafountain (he/him)

RYT200

Rusty is a native son to our sleepy hamlet of Plattsburgh, and an eternal student of yoga. As many of us do, he turned to yoga later in life, in search of a balm to hurried and fluctuating nature of the modern experience. Rusty believes yoga has something to teach everyone—from getting out of our head, to feeling at home in our own skin. He offers classes that focus on the beauty and grace of simple movement, practicing yoga asana as meditation in motion, where all souls are welcome and all expression is valid.

Trained and certified by the Garnet Heart Yoga School, RYT 200.
