About True Living Yoga

Dr. Dean Telano, co-owner and director of True Living Yoga Healing Center and Rahini School of Yoga, also holds the auspicious title of president of Bön Buddhism of Long Island. During his meditation lessons, he draws on more than 20 years of teaching yoga, wellness, and meditation—all of which inform his teaching style. With the help of co-owners Heidi Johnsen, Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500), and Naomi Miller, who has a background as a psychotherapist, the studio is a welcoming place for practitioners of many forms of yoga and holistic wellness to heal. The staff of certified and Yoga Alliance–registered instructors combine their talents to teach students varied yoga styles such as Rahini, Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yoga-Pilates. They also offer teacher training in Rahini yoga, which is Sanskrit for "true living" and blends Hatha techniques with Buddhist meditation. When they’re not leading yoga classes, the staffers welcome guest teachers from India and offer Reiki sessions, meditation classes, and medical qigong classes.
