Pariser took over the former Full Circle Yoga in September and is excited by the opportunity to bring her 30 years of yoga practice and 16 years of teaching to Somerville. She explains, “I’m grateful for and humbled by the warm reception I’ve received here so far. I already love this town.”

Pariser has taught at Hunterdon Medical Center, Steeplechase Cancer Center and veterans’ groups. She has led and assisted in yoga classes, retreats and trainings throughout the United States as well as in India.  A certified yoga teacher at the highest level and yoga teacher trainer, Pariser also has certifications in Structural Yoga Therapy, Reiki and TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises).

Pariser intends to serve and help grow the Somerset County yoga community as she has in Hunterdon- with personal attention and individualized instruction based on the practitioner’s experience, body type, injuries and desires. 

In addition to offering classes for beginners through advanced practitioners, Yoga Loka will offer: Yoga for Cancer Care, Yoga for Back Care, meditation, Trauma Releasing Exercises, stress relieving classes and private therapeutic instruction. Pariser says, “It’s not an exaggeration to say that yoga can change your life for the better—not only have I seen it, I’ve experienced it myself.”
