John Foster
Assisting Senior Instructor
Born and raised in Laredo, Texas, John discovered yoga in 2011 and has since developed a deep, daily practice both on and off the mat. After experiencing injuries from other forms of movement, he turned to yoga for healing and found not just physical strength but profound peace of mind. What began as exercise became a lifelong journey of self-discovery and balance. He is a certified RYT 200 yoga teacher through Authentic Movements and currently teaches at CasaYoga.
