A Community That Feeds the Soul

In the fall of 2022, our community of yogis and yoga teachers were orphaned when our beloved local yoga studio suddenly closed without warning. A small group of passionate teachers couldn’t bear to let the soulful community simply fade away into nothing.  From the void left behind, the non-profit organization called Soul Friends Yoga Center was born. 

 

The path was riddled with challenges, to say the least.  There was a tremendous learning curve in establishing a 501(c)(3), learning how to use the booking software, creating a website in record time, and borrowing space heaters to heat the studio in the dead of winter (because we could not get the utilities turned on for multiple absurd reasons). 

 

One of the biggest hurdles was negotiating lease terms for a shiny new non-profit that had no history and absolutely no money to show, except for some donations from the teachers, founders, and beloved loyal community members. 

 

The only ‘smooth’ part along the road was the amazing patience and willingness of our community as the non-profit organization was finalized, the space was readied, and finally the doors opened.  Having very knowledgeable and generous teachers was an incredible help as well- they all taught for the entire first month as volunteers! 

 

Why did we push through?  Because we believe in the power of yoga PLUS meaningful connection to bring the potent medicine that everyone is hungry for.  

Bottomline: we are a soulful community of seekers, leaning on each other for connection and support. If you come here without a friend, you will leave with a new one.
