Cesar Salas

Founder & Lead Teacher

Cesar Salas, originally from Durango, Mexico, relocated to Greenville, SC, in 2001. Fascinated by yoga from a young age, he became a certified 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) graduate in 2017.

Driven by his Mexican heritage and a desire to share the benefits of yoga with people who might not otherwise have access to it, he founded Buena Vida Yoga in 2020 as a donation-based initiative offering Spanish-led sessions.

Cesar calls his teaching style encouraging movement — classes that are challenging yet accessible for all levels, built to cultivate belonging and mindfulness.

Bilingual, inclusive, and built for everyone

Buena Vida Yoga started as a donation-based, Spanish-led practice, built to welcome people who might not otherwise have access to yoga. Classes stay bilingual and inclusive today.
