Svalja Yoga

A beautiful, safe space to learn and grow. Guides were supportive and transformative. I felt alive and seen the moment I walked in!

I completed a certificate program at Svalja Yoga and had the most amazing experience. I highly recommend checking out this studio, for a class or for training. Thanks Svalja Yoga!

Svalja offers a wonderful variety of classes in different yoga styles. The warm inviting space is filled with natural light. I have taken MANY classes both in person and virtually. I recommend them highly.I chose my YTT training through the Svalja's House of the Gathering because it included the trauma conscious component. I also valued the "classroom with out walls" as we learned and practiced in various places in the community. The learning really encompassed all of a yogic lifestyle and not just the movement, asana, practice. I would recommend this YTT program to anyone seeking to deepen their own personal practice or those looking to be yoga guides.

Thank you Jacey! We are grateful you are a part of our community!

A place of growth, learning, openness, and progression. Caring and highly skilled guides, clean and beautiful environment — a true community. Thank you, Svalja!

An open, authentic, and welcoming space with classes led by experienced and inspirational guides.

Yoga is a way of being which is itself an infiniteness of expressions of Being. I’m of the first cohort of House of the Gathering (they’re currently training the fourth!), and Svälja quickly became a spiritual home for me. I’m blessed with Svälja’s support – such as through asana, devotional music & singing, and service – along the yogic path, and I treasure time among this community.

Svalja Yoga's 250-hour YTT program is a beautiful, diverse mixture of studies on land stewardship, relevant social issues, personal depth psychology, asana guiding, meditation, yoga history, and acknowledgements of each individual's innate wholeness. The focus of the program is on our ability to recognize our wholeness through trauma-conscious practices, always keeping an individual's choice and own bodily knowledge as the guiding light.As a studio for drop-in classes, there is an array of options for every inclination. Each class offers authentic guides with open hearts, wanting nothing more than for each individual to find their true self within the practice.

I am a recent graduate of Svalja's/HGYS yoga teacher training program and there is quite honestly no way to completely sum up into words what the facility, the instructors, guides, the program, and the community have come to mean to me. The connection and family that have come to be through this process have been absolutely life altering. We are all on a life journey and there is no doubt that this experience has brought me into the depths of myself to a place where I can truly find and live in my own authenticity. On top of depth psychology, sections on sustainable organic farming, herbalism, and foraging really nurtured a deep intimate connection with Mother Nature that has for so long been calling me. Bringing more attention to the consumer decisions we all make and the impact of those decisions on literally everything/everybody around us as well. Oh! Not to forget there's a physical practice/anatomy education wrapped up into all this great stuff that has put me into a place where I'm not only able to hear but understand what my body is speaking to me and treat myself accordingly. There is just too much to cover in a "short" review, but the inclusivity of all and the love that fosters in relationship, and the trauma conscious layer to this is what I truly feel allows the beauty of this community to shine so brightly. As the introvert that I am, I never thought it would be possible for me to form such a deep, intimate connection with, let alone find a group of people living so openly, and vulnerably in individual authenticity. It is simply beautiful, and I cannot thank every single person involved enough for being such a pivotal part of my growth on every level and helping me find the ability and desire to try to bring that into my home and the world around me.

Svalja Yoga is a wonderful place to heal. The studio and instructors are very welcoming making it a very safe and wonderful place to be :)
