About Sangha Studio | community-centered, donation-based yoga - Sangha Studio

Hi Sangha!

We're Claire (she/they) and Caitlin (she/her) and we co-own Sangha! We came together through yoga and it's the teachings and lessons of yoga that we try our best to lead the studio by! Over the years, Sangha has been the thing that has held parts of our hearts and as the years keep going, it brings us joy in knowing that the doors of Sangha are open to our community to hopefully hold part of yours. We say it a lot — that "sangha" means community — and one of our favorite conversations that we have over and over is what the depth of that can mean and the beauty that that can be when we show up, and when we let others show up, as their whole, real selves. From both of us, we welcome you at Sangha and we look forward to getting to know you!

in community and with love,
Caitlin + Claire 🧡

At sangha, we believe

Collective care is a powerful practice
Yoga is so much more than Asana
Humor is essential
Hugs should be shared often
Cueing should be inclusive
Teaching should be trauma-informed
Asana should be accessible to anyone who wants to practice
Everyone brings something to the table
We are better together
You can never have enough gold glitter...

Join Our Community

Our core values guide our mission and the choices we make for the studio, for our community and in our own personal practices.

Inclusivity
We believe all individuals should feel valued, recognized and accepted for who they truly are. At Sangha, this means respecting the abilities, beliefs, backgrounds and cultures of those around us. We believe in humble radiance - the idea that we are all figuring it out together and doing the best we can with the information and resources we have available to us. We strive to include diverse perspectives at all levels of our organization so that others feel an unconditional sense of belonging about who they are.

Connection
We define connection as a sense of belonging. Sangha is a place where you can be you. We say so often to our students: come as you are. We invite you to be a part of our sangha family and hope that our studio home becomes your home too. We strongly believe in collaboration over competition and welcome your ideas on how we can collaborate together! At Sangha, we like to have fun, laugh, get to know each other, and be a part of each other’s life stories — and we hope you do too! It starts with hello, so come say hi!

Access
We acknowledge that yoga in the West has historically been inaccessible to those with financial and physical barriers. We work to host studio classes that are accessible to anyone that may want to join us for practice to the best of our ability. Financially, this means we provide a sliding scale membership option, donation-based drop-in classes, scholarships and several weekly free community classes for specific populations. Physically, this means we provide modifications and accessible cueing, adaptive classes, and ADA-compliant studio spaces. At every class we strive to welcome as many people as we can. We believe that accessibility is a practice and our promise to our community is to strive to be more inclusive, more connected and more accessible with every class.
