Dedicated to accessibility, a free recovery program, and partnerships with nonprofits so all connect to their innate wholeness At Svälja Yoga (pronounced “svehl-yah”) all of our offerings are trauma-conscious. Through our Whole-Being Well-Being approach, we support people on their own unique healing journey. We share the wisdom and practice of yoga in a way that is accessible, inclusive, and honor

Qigong Master Glenn Tobey joins us for a 4-Week Journey into resilience and the voice of the heart.

Finding a sanctuary within ourselves is not just a luxury—it is a necessity for healing.

This workshop series is designed to help you navigate the "threat of chaos" by anchoring into your own internal stillness and developing a profound sense of purpose.

"𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻." - a Mantra given to Kristy Marie Nur Jehan Chisti by her heart- and death-teacher, Bodhi Be.

Kristy Marie leads a conversation within our Yoga Teacher Training program called 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯: 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩, 𝘋𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘎𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Are you interested in the concept of being alive because of death? Would you like to have discussions around the human experience of grief and more fully living by walking the path of eyes wide open? We would love to have your voice in the room.

Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training begins September 10th. There are still a few spots available.

Kado—"the Way of the Flower"—invites us to slow down, observe, and engage with the natural world through hands-on practice.

✧ Practitioners will use fresh stems and wildflowers, twigs and branches to discover how setting flowers can be instructive to human development alongside creating beauty.

✧ For the desirous and curious, join the optional pre-class meditation to get a taste of the state-of-being that a Zen Kado practitioner brings to their flower practice.

✧ Wednesdays, September 9, 16, 23, 30 // 6:00 - 7:15 PM // Optional Pre-Class Meditation: 5:00-5:45 PM
