Yoga, wellness icon coming to Folsom studio

A Folsom yoga studio is hosting a huge icon in the world of power yoga and wellness. Baron Baptiste will hold a second Masterclass in Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP on Sunday, May 3, after an overwhelming response to his first session sold out within hours. Baptiste is described as a global leader in personal transformation and a best-selling author, podcaster, speaker and founder of Baptiste Power Yoga. He has built a name for himself in the world of elite and casual athletes and in the exploding world of health and wellness, aiding people in positive thinking and empowerment, according to Spotted Dog Yoga in Folsom. Baptiste's teachings focus on helping people reach their true potential. When word got out Baptiste was coming to Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP, his class sold out almost immediately, so the studio is adding a class.
