Rooted Heart Yoga & Art Studio strives to provide creative expression and healing to the local community.
Combining Yoga, Art, Intuitive Coaching, Reiki, Sound Therapy, & Personal Training in one space. We offer Yoga classes (membership & series) & courses, local events & fundraisers, and a space for local artists to showcase their art.
This studio’s plan is to tap into the ‘roots’ of our community and support local healers and artists as they express their heartfelt desire to help others. When a customer enters the space, we want them to feel connected as a community, whether that is connecting with the artwork, to the teachers and students in a yoga class, with a healing Reiki or Coaching session, or bonding with others through an event or fundraiser offered in the space. We believe in connection to ourselves and others, and we hope this space will become the heart of the community.
