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.
