Our Teaching Team
Bringing Yoga & Well-Being to Savannah Since 2003
Ian Whitt
Ian Whitt joins Savannah Yoga Center after he has been teaching at the historic New York Integral Yoga Institute (IYINY), after completing his training there in 2020. He later joined the IYINY ashram as a resident under the guidance of Swami Ashokananda, member of the Yoga Alliance Board of Directors. He received multiple certifications in Beginner and Intermediate Hatha Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation and his teachings also incorporate advanced training he has received in advanced studies in performing arts.
In 2009 Ian was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease and suffered from chronic pain and sciatica. Since then, he gathered agency through his studies, inspirations, and, of course, the teachings of Yoga that emboldened him to find and define the importance of Yoga and why Yoga supports resiliency. Cultivating values of adaptability, empathy, and a non-judgmental attitude towards himself has given him the skill to foster health and wellness in himself and his community. He no longer suffers from chronic pain.
Jeremy Minton
Jeremy’s yogic inspiration stems from the “yuj” (union) of the universe; how everything is truly connected, and most things we need to heal and strengthen ourselves are already inside us or right around us. It was through deeper dives into yogic philosophy and techniques that he discovered a simpler approach to managing physical & mental health in a fast paced, modern, often profit driven world. Jeremy intertwines these philosophies and techniques in a relatable, approachable manner with a classic vinyasa-based asana practice that is accessible yet engaging. Jeremy has been teaching yoga for three years, and he earned his certification at Savannah Yoga Center, where he received guidance and mentorship from Veenu Sharma. Jeremy’s classes are challenging-but-doable, not heated, and may bring a new perspective to your practice.
