Ignite the transformative and healing power of yoga — together
The practice of yoga tells us that everything we need for peace and wholeness is already inside us, but living and practicing yoga is best done in the context of a supportive community.
As a Nonprofit Yoga Collective, we we seek to expand trauma-informed yoga programming beyond our studio doors and into our communities, including under-resourced community spaces, schools, neighborhood centers, organizations, and workplaces. Together, we will work to ignite the transformative and healing power of being fully present in our bodies and in our lives.

Havening for Group Practice: A 6-Week Series
Sunday October 25th- Dec 13th | with Ariel Brinson
'Havening Techniques' is a psychosensory therapy that uses touch to create delta waves in our bodies, reducing the impact of whatever is coming up for us and bring about a sense of calm steadiness that allows us to move through our lives feeling more balanced. Havening Techniques change the way the brain encodes challenging experiences and supports nervous system regulation.

Giving Yoga to All
As a holistic, nonprofit, neighborhood studio in South Minneapolis, we are committed to increasing access to safe, fun, relational yoga for ALL who desire it. We intentionally keep our class and workshop prices as low as possible, but this is still not affordable for some folks. There is an increased sense of division in our culture, including yoga. The heart and soul of yoga is to UNIFY — within ourselves, outwardly with others and expansively with the Divine/Creation/Universe.
We have outreach yoga programs in which we subsidize yoga for individuals and groups. We invite you to join us in SHARING ABUNDANTLY. If you share our values and want to help others find inner and outer healing through yoga, please donate.
