New Instructor

A warm welcome to Ben Dahlberg, the newest instructor at The Good Place!

Ben Dahlberg - Ben's original guru was The Good Place's own Casey Murphy. Casey taught Ben that yoga doesn't have to be all about gentle stretching set to a New Age soundtrack; it can just as easily be attempting handstands in your living room while listening to gangster rap. After living with Casey for a year, Ben stole his idea to travel to southern India and study Ashtanga, a traditional style of Vinyasa-based yoga. During his three months there he practiced under Saraswathi Rangaswamy, the daughter of Patthabi Jois, Ashtanga's founding guru. Upon returning to the US he attended a teacher training taught by old school Ashtangi David Swenson. He's trying to get back to India as soon as possible to learn more, but in the meantime would love to have you in his class!


Ben will be teaching 3 new Ashtanga Yoga classes each week:
Mondays-3:30pm; Wednesdays-2:00pm; & Fridays-4:00pm
Ashtanga is the traditional method from which many modern Vinyasa yoga classes stem. Vinyasa, a Sanskrit term for the marriage of breath and movement, strings together the poses of Ashtanga's six series in a way that is both meditative and invigorating. In our Ashtanga classes, we will warm up with sun salutations and standing poses before moving on to the seated poses of the primary series and closing with backbends, inversions and deep relaxation. If you're new to Ashtanga, give Ben a call at (713) 894-6347 to find out more.

Welcome Aboard Ben!
