Our Story

Born To Fly

Rebecca bedel

After 25yrs of service at Mercy Healthplex in Fairfield, Ohio the Healthplex is closing its doors on February 28, 2025. My husband and I decided it was now time to open our own studio. This gave us about 3 months to pull together Goda Yoga Studio. I would like to continue to uplift and inspire the relationships that I've grown by providing safe, professional group, private instruction, and workshops that build community. Genuinely promoting the act of caring, and connecting, by motivating all people with a warm welcome of compassion to grow a better sense of life and their wellbeing.

Although the Healthplex is closing it doesn't mean it's the end, it's continuation for all those leaving the cocoon to become ones own butterfly.

" I’ve been doing yoga since 2016 while I was in grad school as a way to stay grounded through school, I knew I wanted to teach yoga almost immediately. Now I’ve been teaching for 3 years, and my favorite type of yoga is power and vinyasa flow. When I’m not teaching yoga I’m also a speech-language pathologist and work in middle and high school. "
