David was first introduced to yoga through the practice of hatha yoga. He found his Gurudeva when he read “The Autobiography of a Yogi”, which had a profound influence on his life. In 2014, he took Kriya Yoga diksha under the lineage of Paramahansa Yogananda.

David soon began visiting Song of the Morning and in 2015 graduated from the Golden Lotus School of Yoga, where he currently serves as a trainer for their Teacher Training Program. David is very involved with the Detroit Center of Self-Realization Fellowship, the organization Sri Yoganandaji founded in 1920.

David currently volunteers his time teaching hatha yoga at the Gilda’s Club of Metro Detroit. He works in Finance for a non-profit senior living community in Waterford, MI called Lourdes Senior Community, currently residing in Ferndale, Michigan. David enjoys playing the harmonium, tablas, singing, and chanting.

Kendra Hubbarth Bohr was originally introduced to Song of the Morning as a very young child when her parents would bring her for meditations in the early 1970’s. After returning to Northern Michigan in 2017, she began her studies of the Self Realization Fellowship Lessons and Golden Lotus Hatha Yoga. She completed the training and was initiated into Kriya Yoga through Self Realization Fellowship in 2021. Currently Kendra teaches Golden Lotus Hatha classes at Song of the Morning during their many retreats and festivals, as well as for the local community and staff. 

Her dedication to the mission of Song of the Morning can be seen in her ever present volunteering in many capacities wherever and whenever she is needed. And, in April of 2023, accepted a position on staff. Kendra’s previous career involved being a salon owner, educator and platform artist for nearly 30 years. Her passion for the Golden Lotus style of Hatha Yoga can be felt in her gentle meditative approach and heartfelt sincerity during her classes.
