About Us
A Space for Self-Discovery
In yoga, you are the laboratory. Yoga is an opportunity to know yourself better. Only you can become the world’s leading expert on your life—but first you must learn how to observe yourself and how you work. Yoga Lab is a supportive environment where people can gather and share in the spirit of learning, self-discovery, and continued growth.
Our Values
-
Anatomy & Evidence-Based Practice
We value science! Our teachers have a strong grounding in anatomy and teach a style of yoga informed by physical therapy and research.
-
Functional Movement
We help you move well to improve your daily life. Our yoga is about functional movement, NOT stretching as far as you can or contorting yourself into a particular shape. Leave competitiveness at the door, love the body you’re in, and discover what you’re capable of!
-
Mindfulness
Learn how to cultivate present-moment awareness without judgment to fully show up for life. Relieve stress, find more joy, put down your phone, and be more present for the things that really matter.
-
Inclusive Community
We strive for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility through our scholarship programs and unique class offerings.
-
Consent-Based Touch for Assists
We value hands-on assisting for safety in alignment, awareness, proprioception, and balance. But we believe everyone has a right not to be touched if they don’t want to be. We promise to always give you a choice.
-
Sustainability
We care about our environment. From bamboo floors, local reclaimed wood furniture, wind and solar power, and eco mats - we make sustainable choices for studio furnishings, energy usage, and retail items. We also hold charity events to raise money for environmental causes.
-
Social Responsibility
We hold Yoga on the Mountain, Yoga for a Cause, and Happy Dog Yoga events with proceeds donated to charity. Supported charities include local animal rescues, Black Visions Collective, Centre Safe, Doctors without Borders, NRDC, One Tree Planted, Clearwater Conservancy, and more.
-

“Yoga is at its most democratic when it awakens people to oneness—to the reality that as human beings we are divinely equalized with each other and interconnected with the world we inhabit, to the fact that, while no one else can gain enlightenment for us, nevertheless we are on this journey together.”
— Jeremy Engels, The Ethics of Oneness
“Part of the adventure of meditation is to use yourself as a laboratory to find out who you are and what you are capable of.”
— Jon Kabat-Zinn
