OUR WHY
We've been traveling the world providing students with the power of yoga since 2015. Our studio will serve as a home to our offerings and it's design is inspired by a combination of our favorite international destinations. We want to share the beauty and magic we experience abroad, right here in our Baltimore neighborhood of Hampden.
Yoga isn't just a practice we do on our mats, but a way of being. At it's essence, yoga outlines the process & state of being present. It is through the art of paying attention, that we are gifted the power of choice, and conscious direction.
The physical practice of yoga (asana), is just one of many tools we can use to access presence. We want to share more of the totality of yoga, and have chosen embodiment practices, more specifically, vinyasa asana classes, as our foundation. Vinyasa means "to place in a special way" and refers to a more dynamic sequence that blends both static shapes and fluid transitions that are linked breath to movement. We love to refer to it as moving with intention.
We offer four main class styles, all of which are vinyasa centered, other than our slow flow/restorative class. Our aim is to provide more of the totality of yoga techniques while emphasizing the power of alignment based functional movement. Inspired by the four directions, our classes hold deep meaning and the sequencing chosen for each offer you options to explore.
The heated room is inspired by an Ayurvedic philosophy known as, "sveda" or, " to sweat" Sveda is used to describe a therapeutic method involving fomentation or inducing sweating for healing.
We offer private sessions, workshops, mentorships, teacher trainings & retreats all as resources to educate you on and experience the power of your own body, mind, and spirit.
We want to serve as a sanctuary for you to remember the sacred, feel connected to your wholeness, and expand your capacity to hold whatever your heart desires.

OUR STYLE
Tantric in essence, weaving body to spirit, through vinyasa ("to place in a special way") based movement practices, we use the body as the portal to awaken attention & our connection to all there is.
We love to integrate various techniques, methodologies and lineages to curate a multi faceted experience for our students to connect to their whole self. We see the asana practice as a doorway to remember the sacred and lead with intentional messaging as a map to unearthing your true essence. Our flows offer combinations of breath focused movement, pranayama, meditation, mantra, mudras, yoga philosophy, story telling and more.
Expect a well rounded practice that blend various groups of shapes to benefit the collective in an inclusive way. Our detailed cueing, alignment based and functional movement approach, merged with relative yoga philosophy, provides an intelligent and transformative practice for all. We emphasize that advancement in your practice is actually measured not by how many fancy poses you can make on your mat, but by how adaptable, steady, and joy filled you become in your life.
Movement is our medicine.
OUR COMMITMENT
