Our Studio
Prior to knowing one another, Marla and Deshawn shared the same dream of helping people feel better.
In their separate lives, they each sought exercise as a medium for healing – Marla as a dedicated yoga pracitioner and Deshawn as a semi-pro athlete and personal trainer. After they met, Marla shared with Deshawn her dream of owning a yoga and fitness studio. With his unwavering support and encouragement, Marla opened QCYF in March of 2016. In 2018, as the studio began to expand beyond yoga into strength-training and HIIT, Deshawn left his career in the restaurant industry to become co-owner and CFO of QCYF.
Our mission at Queen City Yoga & Fitness is to help as many people as possible feel better through awesome teaching, incredible support, and authentic communication.
Our vision is a compassionate community of authentic people who feel content with themselves.
Our business is built on six core values – love, community, vulnerability, honesty, discipline, and equality.
