Yoga Jones

History

Opened in 2003, Yoga Jones was the first and remains the only yoga studio in Ventura to offer yoga classes in a wide variety of styles for students with varying interests and needs. Creators Tina Chappel, who teaches, and her husband Tom Lane immersed themselves in the practice during the burgeoning yoga movement in '90s Los Angeles. They practiced mainly at Center for Yoga on Larchmont--now part of the YogaWorks chain. They studied with such renowned teachers as Erich Schiffmann, Shiva Rea, and Paul Cabanis, while Tina did teacher training in 1998 with Ana Forrest.
