Join Kayla for a candle-lit night of meditative connection. We’ll be connecting with one another in circle and connecting to our own bodies, minds and spirits through guided sensual stretch and seated meditation.

Just as a candle flame flickers, we too experience subtle and physical shifts throughout our daily lives. In meditation, we build resilience to those flickers, or changes, and learn to maintain our stability, just as the candle keeps burning despite the air shifting its flame. Overtime, we learn to respond rather than react and burnout. In this 75 minute class you have an opportunity to deeply feel the subtle shifts within your being and the inner stability that keeps your light shining.

Join us for our New Moon ceremony! Every month we come together to celebrate the Full Moon, and now we will join again to welcome the new cycle.

The New Moon is an invitation to re-align with yourself and with the greater cosmic rhythm. It is an opportunity to reflect on what was released or revealed during the Full Moon, and commit to how you will move in the new phase.

What to expect:

Each ceremony will include different practices, but below are some of what you might experience.

Intention setting, journaling, meditation, asana, chanting mantra, conversation, tea or cacao, creative project, and more.

Paper and pen will be provided at every gathering, but please feel free to bring your own. We will also be creating and alter, so please bring a small, meaningful item to add to the sacred space that we will sit around in ceremony.

Join us for a community gathering a couple times per month to discuss a book related to yoga, spirituality, and life itself! Bhakti Book Club is FREE, but if you would like to make a donation, you are welcome. All donations with go to the Downtown Engagement Center, a place supporting those in need in our downtown community.

We will continue discussing Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now on Monday, April 29th at 7:30pm.

We will be discussing Chapters 5-10. Please join if you are interested, even if you have only read the first chapter. This is a space for us all to simply show up and hear from one another.

Tea, coffee, and light treats are provided.

This is our last discussion of The Power of Now before we move onto a new book later next month!

Join Crystal and Kayla for a Saturday night ecstatic dance experience!



The group will circle for a heart opening cacao and mantra ceremony followed by a guided embodiment practice that will lead to free flow dancing! We will finish with rest in Savasana and close the circle. This will be a time of gathering for the experience of loving aliveness! We will celebrate the rising energy of spring into summer and growing vitality of this season as we move our bodies to clear stagnant energy, and dance our hearts into a deeper love of Life.

**This event sells out, so please save your spot earlier rather than later.

Yoga Camp is a creative, fun, and enriching experience for kids to explore movement and art, learn breathing practices and meditation, and begin integrating yoga into their everyday lives! Yoga for kids is a powerful tool. It teaches how to self regulate and cultivate a loving relationship with one's self-- skills much more difficult to learn and integrate in adulthood. 

The theme of our April Kids' Yoga Camp is GROWTH. We will explore what is required for growth to happen in our environment and learn how we can create those same conditions within our own bodies and minds. “Be like a tree” will be our mantra, so to speak, for this yoga camp.

Parents/Guardians are welcome to stay and participate with their child/children

Ages 5-10 recommended, but please reach out to discuss exceptions.

Join David for a buoyant and alchemizing class where we’ll dive into the essence of Spring, harnessing its energy to cultivate renewal, growth, and joy within ourselves. Drawing inspiration from Katonah Yogaⓒ theory, we’ll explore the metaphor of the body as a house made up of 3 floors, 9 rooms, and 10 doors. 

First, we’ll lay out the blueprint and groundwork for our time together. Then we’ll transition into a seated breathwork and meditation practice, integrating the insights gained as we map this metaphor onto the dimensional landscape that is our body. 

If the body is our personal abode, consider this spring cleaning - sweeping through each room, dusting out the corners, rearranging the furniture, and creating space for new possibilities and expanded vision both on and off the mat. 

This workshop welcomes practitioners of all levels, inviting you to engage in self-inquiry that will spark your imagination and unlock new dimensions within your personal practice. 

Join us in welcoming 2024 and 6 years of Downtown Yoga Fargo! We will gather at 7:00pm for Kirtan, the singing of divine names together as a practice of devotion and love. We’ll end seated or lying in savasana to allow the sounds to resonate deep into the unseeable realms of our beings before coming up and out to spend time together eating and talking, celebrating the joy of our community!

Mantras will be provided for kirtan; you do not have to sing or have any experience singing to join. This practice of Kirtan is incredibly powerful and deeply liberating, so consider doing something new and joining us for the celebration.

An anniversary cake will be provided by Moonrise Cafe, the newest local coffee shop on Broadway! And, we will have other local treats and snacks available after Kirtan.

Join us in the studio or virtually for a New Year's Meditation on January 1st!

All are welcome, from beginners and experienced meditators, to join us in starting the year by re-discovering our peace within. We will spend the 45 minutes not only meditating, but discussing and potentially writing intentions, so bring a journal if you like (paper will be available at the studio.)

Join us on Christmas Eve, December 24th, at 8:00am for an All Levels Yoga class to experience joy within! Start the last week of the year moving and breathing with intention and awareness drawn inward to experience the sweet and joyful holidays with more ease.

This class is open to all; no experience required. The drop in rate is discounted to $7, so bring a friend or loved one along for this nourishing class before the festivities begin!

Meet Your Guest Teacher:

Greg Hines is an experienced yoga educator with 15 years of teaching under the guidance of mentors in MN, NY and MD. In 2021, he completed his M.S. in Yoga Therapy from the Maryland Institute of Integrative Health. Postural alignment, mindfulness practice, energetic anatomy and theoretical frameworks for human health inform his therapeutic techniques and tools. Greg’s approach explores the intersections of Indian yoga philosophy, sacred geometry, five-element frameworks from Eastern healing traditions and an expanding catalog of yoga therapy research.

SUM + BODY Workshop on Saturday, November 18th, will be held at Yuj here in Fargo. Learn more below:

Life is all about how things add up. 

The form and function of your body is the summation of your daily habits and techniques. Just as ballerinas expressively dance, sailors tie knots, and cooks finely chop, each of us engage in unique practices that take shape in our lives and bodies.

It’s in how you choose to use your time and inhabit your body that constructs character; makes you SOMEBODY!

In this 3-hour workshop, Greg and David will sequence Katonah Yoga theory with interactive yoga breaks; moments to observe and consider how our personal math might be different from someone else’s. 

We’ll combine well-informed adjustments and prop-supported poses to help quantify our approach like a protractor or calculator aids the mathematician. Illuminating unexamined yoga habits and unrealized potential, participants will come to appreciate their practice reveals a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

A local artist and member of the Downtown Yoga Community is filming a documentary, and for that documentary, he wants to include you!
The lovely Christina will be teaching.

Join us for this free class where all we ask is that you bring a non-perishable food item for a local school's food pantry and be a part of this local project.

There are 20 spots available, so sign up soon before it fills up.

**By coming to the class, you are approving the filmmakers to use the footage, which may include you, in the documentary.**

Purnima, or the full moon, is a sacred time to re-align with the cosmic rhythm, and this month, connect with the feminine divine. It’s a time to go into yourself and allow the luminosity of the moon to reveal Truth in your being. The moon controls the manas, or the mind, so when we reach the full moon point in the cycle, our minds are more open and receptive. We allow this innate sense of receptivity to expand our awareness and illuminate areas in our lives where we can release and where we can cultivate.

What to expect:

Each ceremony will include different practices, but below are some of what you might experience.

Intention setting, journaling, meditation, asana, chanting mantra, conversation, tea or cacao, creative project, and more.

Paper and pen will be provided at every gathering, but please feel free to bring your own. We will also be creating and alter, so please bring a small, meaningful item to add to the sacred space that we will sit around in ceremony.

This month we will enjoy the devotional, Bhakti, practice of kirtan to seal our ceremony. Mantras will be provided, and no experience is required. Kirtan, like all practices of yoga, simply require you to show up for yourself in whatever capacity brings you ease and stability. You are not required to chant or dance, but you are welcome. Kirtan is a lively experience, even when you remain still and just receive, so give yourself this opportunity to experience the power of devotion and yoga as a tool to re-ignite your spirit and enliven your rhythm.

In our Yoga 101 series of pop up classes, we will dive deeper into the various aspects and traditions within the practice of yoga. This series is open to all, beginners and experienced students. Yoga is vast, and as students, we are never done learning and integrating, so come and deepen your understanding and practice of yoga. 

Our next session in this series will be Tuesday, September 26th at 5:30pm, and our theme is Sadhana, or daily spiritual practice. Our daily routines set the tone for the action in our daily lives, and when don’t set aside time for our practices, our life starts to become overwhelming and exhausting. We then live from a place of depletion, rather than fullness. In this 1 hour class, we will discuss the deeper reasoning for Sadhana and learn how we can make time in our days for spiritual practices.

This specific session will be a preview of sorts for a Sadhana series coming in the fall, so don’t miss this opportunity as it might be just what you need to make the commitment to yourself, your life, and your yoga journey.

Through both the science and practice of Ayurveda and Yoga, we have the capacity to keep our body, minds, and spirits in balance despite the ever changing atmosphere we move and breathe in. Ayurveda means "knowing of life"; it is also sometimes referred to as "the science of life," and through its teachings, you come to know how to best treat your body, mind, and spirit regardless of the situation, season, or stage of life you find yourself in. Specifically, this workshop will give you tools for how to keep yourself calm, cool, and collected during the intense heat of the summer, or Pitta season as it is referred to in Ayurveda. The combination of Yoga and Ayurveda is similar to that of peanut butter and jelly if you will; you can't really have one without the other. So here, we will explore the combination in order to better equipt our whole beings to deal with the seasonal shifts. 

You will learn:

1. Cooling pranayama practice(s)

2. Soothing asanas

3. Ayurvedic definitions and terms surrounding the seasons, and specifically the characteristics of summer. 

4. How to structure your diet; including a light Ayurvedic meal to enjoy during the workshop as an example for what you might eat during the summer months

5. How and when to rise and sleep

6. How to take care of your skin and specific hygiene practices

And more...if you can believe it! 

This workshops is open to all; no experience or knowledge of yoga or ayurveda is required.
