Truly a magical place for transformation and healing through yoga and special offerings. Most all teachers are trained as trauma-conscious guides, so you are encouraged to explore a pose and connect back with yourself rather than merely replicate a pose and hold it. I can't recommend Svalja enough!

Kyle has created a yoga studio that is inviting, warm, peaceful, and safe. There are an incredible variety of classes and styles to choose from. Class offerings are available at an assortment of times and dates so one can easily work in a session. The teachers are amazing! They encourage positive growth and healing throughout each class presenting a trauma sensitive environment and inclusivity . The teachers are skilled and experienced, and share such light and grace! This studio also supports a sliding scale for those who need it. This is the kind of place that I want not only to enjoy, but to support in our community. Thank you Kyle!

The depth of knowledge, the inclusiveness and the incredible range of class offerings is eclipsed only by the genuine care and concern for everyone who walks through the door. Having trauma aware guides and teachers is incredible. Svalja offers a sacred joy and belonging even as we work through challenges on and off the mat. Everyone is welcome. All are welcome, whether you are a beginner or more advanced. AND there is often live ambient music. Come join us!

I don’t know that I can adequately describe the impact Svälja Yoga has had on my life. The intimate connection to the world and the wholistic approach brought forth is so powerful it cannot be said it must be felt. I highly recommend anyone who has felt the disconnect from not only their true selves at their core but from the world as a whole… those who crave the ability to harbor love and heal from the inside out… sign up with Svälja for their YTT. You won’t regret it.
