Dean Cilley began his yoga studies in 1993 and started teaching Svaroopa® style Yoga in 2006. After practicing many styles of yoga, Dean has said, “I find that Svaroopa® is a style of yoga I can truly take home with me. Releasing the core muscles that attach to your spine reduces stress, releases tensions, quiets the mind and promotes a sense of well-being.”

Prior to finding the joy of this gentle but deeper style of yoga, Dean had successful careers in retail management and as an outdoor guide. He has served as volunteer editor/co-author of the Guide to the Appalachian Trail in Maine, and he currently works as a Marketing Analyst for L.L.Bean.

Dean is also certified as an Embodyment® Yoga Therapist. This hands-on therapy brings a deeper awareness that benefits both yoga and meditation practices.
