Om My Yoga

Studio Story

Founded by Yoga Therapist Rachel Wilson, Om My Yoga has been serving Central Pennsylvania since 2009. What began as a small community space for mindful movement has grown into a vibrant home for yoga, aerial, Pilates, and teacher training — all rooted in compassion, curiosity, and connection.

Om My Yoga Team

At Om My Yoga, every teacher shares a foundation in our own Academy’s training program. Our community of instructors is deeply rooted in accessible, mindful movement and whole-person wellness. Each teacher brings their own unique story and strengths to the mat, while honoring a shared lineage of compassionate and intelligent teaching.
