Our Story
"Step lightly, embrace the flow, and remember to breathe." - Clarissa

Painted Lotus Yoga and Wellness exists as the bridge between ancient and modern healing arts, enriching the lives of people across our diverse community.
OUR STORY:
Prior to becoming a studio with a brick-and-mortar home, Painted Lotus Yoga and Wellness was the business name of Clarissa Boggess’s teaching and energy work practice in Tuscaloosa. For over a decade, Clarissa practiced as an independent contractor working with local schools and businesses as well as teaching at The Yoga Center.
After 20+ years, Lynda Kees, founder of Tuscaloosa’s first Yoga studio, made the decision to dissolve The Yoga Center. Since Clarissa and Lynda have been friends and colleagues for well over a decade, it seemed the natural progression that as The Yoga Center came to a close, Painted Lotus Yoga and Wellness, LLC would evolve into its new brick and mortar incarnation as Tuscaloosa’s premier yoga studio.
Honoring the history and legacy of our roots while continuing to grow as a healing arts center is a tremendous privilege and honor for Clarissa and all who teach and practice within this sacred community. We are deeply grateful and honored to continue to offer yoga to our vibrant community and for our growing family of yoga teachers in Tuscaloosa. We look forward to supporting you on your path to empowered transformation!
