Nourishing Heart Yoga Studio

This studio is always a warm, welcoming space. I've practiced with almost all of the instructors and have loved every experience here. I don't think anyone will regret stopping by for a class or a wonderful workshop ❤️.

I took my 200hr YTT with Matece and it was such an incredible experience and journey. She has a wealth of knowledge in all areas regarding yoga and I love that my training was a blend of deep spirituality, connection with my fellow students, and anatomy.I have also taken classes with Darcie before and her classes are intentional and focused on you connecting with your body. I am so excited to practice with her in this space.

Wonderful yoga studio! I found Nourishing Heart Yoga studio to be a warm and inviting place. All the instructors, and Matece, the owner, are kind and professional, and offered a lovely flow class with good room temperature, appropriate music, and good warm up and cool down. I’m delighted to have such a great option close to downtown and the east side of Bloomington.

Our now 18 year old daughter began a yoga practice when transitions were very challenging for her. Finding the right fit for her was an exercise in love and curiosity for all of us involved. I'm delighted to share that one of her favorite teachers is at Nourishing Heart Yoga (NHY).Our daughter feels absolutely safe with her teacher, and trusts that she can freely practice in a way that feels right to her body. Her teacher respects my daughter's request for no adjustments while gently supporting and facilitating her learning - it's exactly what she needs!Myself, I find the studio an immediately warm and welcoming place. There is a wide variety of offerings so that wherever I am in my practice, there's a class for me. They even offer NeuroMovement®, which requires absolutely zero yoga or exercise experience.I'm grateful to have NHY as a resource in our neighborhood.

My time at Nourishing Heart has been a restorative process. Earlier this year, I needed a reboot to focus on myself to help support moving forward positively, fearlessly and I felt lost. I am something a novice when it comes to yoga practices, dabbling over the years in person, videos, websites, books. Nothing really impacted me in the ways I have found here.Initially I took advantage of their excellent 3 week unlimited option to explore and see if this was the practice for me. I've been able to experience a new yoga practice in beautiful ways. Ways to support myself as I support others. The support I have been given is a gift. Matece (the owner) and every instructor provides a safe space and the latitude to do what's right for you and your body. It's in that support that I've been able to further my practice, find inner strength even when life throws challenges. The neurogenic yoga for stress and trauma release has changed my life.So if you are a newbie or a seasoned Yogi, Nourishing Heart is a welcomed and beautiful opportunity for you!

Matece has been my teacher for about 5 years now. I've followed her through several studios and was thrilled when she opened one of her own. NHYS has a wide array of offerings. I'm able to go several times a week and I've been to almost all of them. Vinyasa, Gentle, Mindful, Yin, Restorative, Sacred Embodiment and the latest offering of Trauma-Informed Yoga.I've had 8 different well-trained teachers! Many of them, if not all, have gone through her own Nourishing Heart Yoga teacher training program, some up to 500 hours. They are all knowledgeable, gentle, encouraging and easily anticipate if someone needs a hands-on assist.I've grown and learned so much about my body, my mind and my heart practicing here. I can't say enough about how much I love Matece, this space and the community here. You simply MUST try it!

The studio is beautiful, comfortable and in great location. It's a work of love all around. The founder (my favorite yoga instructor in town since 2006) Matece Skow, is a very experienced yogi who teaches from the heart. Most of the instructors passed through her teacher training and carry on with the beautiful goal of authentic yoga that nurtures body, heart and mind. Great variety of styles to choose from! Don't miss it!

Nourishing Heart Yoga is so much more than just a yoga studio. Each teacher cultivates a safe space to explore your own practice. This supportive community has been life changing for me, and I'm forever grateful for our shared practice. Stop by for a class or workshop and experience everything this studio has to offer.

I'm new to yoga (did lots of videos at home during the pandemic) and this was the first studio I signed up for. I'm so glad I did! The 3 week unlimited deal hooked me - I tried a bunch of the different classes to see what I liked. Found what I liked and signed up for a membership.I love the mix of offerings. There's something for every mood/feeling/need. Mindfulness and meditation are incorporated throughout every practice in an accessible way that is easy for beginners to get into. I definitely leave each class with an improved sense of wellbeing. You know that feeling you get after a massage... that's how I feel every time I leave Nourishing Heart.Matece and her team of instructors are incredibly knowledgable, great teachers, and really compassionate and caring people. Highly recommend taking a class and trying out this studio!

Edited Jan 2023.Came back to share that I've continued to find Nourishing Heart Yoga Studio supportive and nurturing. My instructors have skillfully communicated that it's okay for me to be in my practice, just as I am, allowing space to both challenge myself and to find rest. As a relatively new student to yoga, I find NHY to be welcoming and not at all intimidating. Thanks NHY!Grateful to have found Nourishing Heart Yoga Studio, located near the Bryan Park Neighborhood. Having been to over 40 classes since first 'trying out' the studio with the 3 week-promo pass (and quickly finding value in the monthly unlimited yoga pass option), I've appreciated the variety of offerings. Seeing new classes join the current schedule has given me the opportunity to attend the classes that offer me what I'm looking for (restorative vs creating flexibility vs minfulness + movement, etc).There are a variety of props for the class to access each class, as well as yoga mats, if you don't have your own. Water or tea is available, as well. I have appreciated being able to build my own yoga schedule, one that I can change depending on my work and family needs. Scheduling is easy and if I have questions, it's been easy to connect with Nourishing Heart Yoga Studio.
