CDA POWER YOGA

This Yoga is for Everyone

Written by Michelle Cooper | Photos by Rachel Shamberg

My name is Michelle Cooper and I am the proud owner and one of the teachers at CDA Power Yoga, a yoga studio, activewear and wellness shop, and most importantly, a growing and amazing community of some of the best people here in Coeur d’Alene. My passion lies in serving and empowering others through yoga, building an uplifting and inspiring community, helping people to grow both physically and mentally, and creating a culture of possibility, mindfulness, gratitude, and service. I opened the studio in 2018 to provide a space for health, wellness, healing, growth, and connection.

My team and I are dedicated to the wellbeing and safety of everyone who walks through our doors, along with providing a fun, encouraging, and clean atmosphere. With decades of combined experience and countless certifications, qualifications, and training, the teachers of CDA Power Yoga provide tools and practices for clients to gain strength and flexibility, endurance, increase energy and vitality, improve balance, protect against and recover from injuries, and improve athletic performance. Yoga encourages more presence and intention, while pursuing a higher sense of self. We specialize in FUN and energetic heated Power Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga, Mellow Flows, Workshops and Inversion playdates, private sessions, and special events. During the summer months, we also offer Paddle Board Yoga and Yoga Cruises through the Coeur d’Alene Resort.

My husband, Kyle, and I both served in the military and as law enforcement in Oregon, before finding our home in North Idaho. We know, through experience, the positive impact yoga can have and we believe, wholeheartedly, that the work people do on their mat can cultivate a life of strength, possibility, and purpose. For this reason, and because we are forever grateful for those that choose

sacrifice and service, we offer special rates for military, veterans, first responders, and their spouses. We work to provide for all those who live with the prolonged stresses and daily struggles associated with trauma and crisis. We also believe that THIS YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE. Regardless of age, fitness level, physical limitations, fears, goals, current mobility, or busy schedule, CDA Power Yoga is the place to start or deepen your practice.

“Yoga does not change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.”

-B.K.S. Iyengar

Yoga studios have a reputation of being intimidating, strict, smelly, and sometimes….well, weird. Believe me, you do not have to wear the perfect clothes, do handstands on Instagram, or love essential oils to fit in here. CDA Power Yoga was purposely created to be different. I opened this studio knowing that COMMUNITY and culture is most important. Every single person has a place and is valued here. We celebrate and challenge each other, lift each other up, hold each other accountable, we laugh and we sweat and we fall out, rise up, and grow together. We encourage the messy and the real, always starting class with “Modify and take on the practice as its right for you. Go at your own pace. Take what you need. Bring your best. And commit to progress, not perfection.” So, whether you’re a beginner or have an established and strong practice, you are welcome and you belong here.

Myself and all the teachers at CDA Power Yoga are committed to leading the people of North Idaho to move their bodies, change their minds, and transform their lives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out our full schedule of classes at www.cdapoweryoga.com & follow us @cdapoweryoga
