Prana Yoga Center, originally founded in 2001 by Gerhard & Alexandra Gessner, is now owned by the Quality Longevity Foundation, a 501(c) non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing health and longevity.

The mission of the Quality Longevity Foundation is to improve both the quality and quantity of life – often referred to as the health span – ensuring that the years we live are not only long but also vibrant and fulfilling.

At Prana Yoga Center, we offer proactive, evidence-based wellness programs rooted in the ancient traditions of Yoga. Our offerings include classes, events & teacher trainings in Yoga, meditation, breathwork, Ayurveda and nutrition counseling, sound healing, and more. These modalities, are recognized by both scientific research and Blue Zone Principles, and can play a vital part in healthy aging and longevity.

One of the most powerful tools for healthy aging is movement – staying active, maintaining joint mobility, and preventing age-related muscle loss. Beyond physical health, longevity is also influenced by having a sense of purpose, engaging in joyful activities, and cultivating meaningful connections.

Yoga and related disciplines enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being and also encourages a plant-based diet, mindful eating, and deep listening to the body’s needs. Through a regular Yoga practice, we foster a strong sense of community, bringing together like-minded individuals in an inclusive and welcoming environment – one where everyone feels valued and supported on their journey to well-being.
