As far back as I can remember, I have always felt this vibrant pulse of glowing energy within me wanting and waiting to be given to others, freely and never expecting anything in return. Just to see a genuine smile in the eyes of someone receiving this gift brings me pure happiness. For the past 30 years, I have had the honor to give this gift of beauty and self-confidence from the outside in to our community by serving as President and CEO of Charles Penzone Incorporated. My career started out by sharing my hands and heart as a hair stylist and grew from there.
Yoga means “unity”. L I T Life + Yoga is the final thread that weaves my life purpose together. Our aim is to create an open, loving community – inspiring self-care, mindfulness and overall wellness and giving the gift of a LIFE+ from the inside out.

When I began teaching yoga I was an introvert. I walked into a community where most of the people didn’t look or sound like me. What I found enlightened and changed me. I was embraced by an incredible community of unique individuals all bound by this practice. I soon felt comfortable being true to myself and the more I opened up, the more the community reciprocated. Who knew that conversing on Star Wars, Liberalism, Wu-Tang and peanut butter could help push my students to find their edge? The connection that I’ve gained by guiding and encouraging people is what the practice of yoga truly is.
I can only believe that what has brought me to L I T Life + Yoga is nothing short of serendipity. I had my eye on this space for well over a year. I’d drive by once a week, occasionally hop out, and stare in the windows -- dreaming that I’d instruct in the space...someday. After a series of serendipitous events, I found a job posting, applied, interviewed and found the courage to make my passion my career as studio manager for L I T. And now we’re here. I’m charged up to partner with Debbie Penzone to bring something a little different and very special to our community.
L I T LOVE LIFE + YOGA fund sparks the fuse and ignites the passion deep within our souls to fuel our community by co-creating change by raising the vibration of human kindness by giving the greatest gift of all…LOVE.

How is L I T handling social distancing? We will be offering a limited in-studio class schedule, as well as limiting our class size to 7 people. This will ensure we can maintain a 6ft radius on all sides of our students. Upon arrival, students will arrive and remove their shoes before coming into the studio, place their belongings in an assigned cubby where an illuminator will check them in, and proceed to their designated area in the studio. We will have mat markers on our floor where students will be assigned a spot to practice. We ask that students stay in their cars until the start of class and enter into the studio one at a time to ensure social distancing standards are being met. Are mats and props able to be used? For the time being, we’re discontinuing shared mats and props. Please be sure to bring your own. What cleaning measures are being put into place in the studio? We take pride in keeping our studio clean. We use medical-grade cleaning products and professional cleaning services at the studio. Our team is going above and beyond to clean high traffic areas. Hand sanitizers and various personal care products have, and will continue to be accessible and available during your visit. Our in-studio schedule will be changed up to ensure our team has adequate time to properly clean and sanitize both the lobby and studio after each class. We will be using an EPA certified cleaner throughout the studio. Our studio is also protected by microSURE - a sanitation technology + spray treatment that safeguards against 99.99% of germs and bacteria, including Coronavirus. This superior formulation instantly kills germs on contact, offers three months of protection, and is a non-toxic, eco-friendly formulation. Student Membership FAQs If you are currently on an autopay membership, it has been suspended for the past 2 months. We will continue to keep your membership suspended until we are able to open up class sizes and times. If you have an annual unlimited membership you will be able to take both virtual and in-studio classes.
NEW MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS: Virtual Studio Membership - $50 3-month Unlimited Endless Summer Membership - $210 (for both zoom and in-person classes) Class passes + drop-ins can be purchased for both in-studio + virtual classes. $7 for virtual classes + $18 for in-person General Info on Safety in our Space If you’re not feeling 100% for class, skip it. We just ask that you cancel so someone else can snag your spot, especially since our class counts are going to be so limited. We've always required masks to be worn by students + the L I T team while in the lobby of our studio (while entering + exiting). Per Gov. DeWine's mandate effective July 7, this will continue. Masks are optional during the physical practice. Skip the extras. Bring in only what you need. Restrooms are available. We just ask that you give the surfaces a little scrub down after your visit. Cleaning products will be placed in there for you to do so. |
