Our Approach
Looking for more than a workout?
At Painted Lotus Yoga and Wellness, practices like yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong are more than fitness—they’re holistic tools for personal growth and spiritual exploration. Our classes blend movement with breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, philosophy, humor, and community connection.
These practices offer inclusive, universal pathways that complement therapy, support medical care, and deepen your understanding of and connection to your personal beliefs. Whatever brings you to our community, we’re here to meet you where you are and help you build a practice that’s sustainable, supportive, and meaningful to your life.
Cultivating Community:
We strive to offer a warm, welcoming sanctuary that is supportive and affirming to all who walk through our doors. You will find no sages on stages, drama, dogma, cliques, or yoga fads. We hear time and again from visitors and first-timers how welcome and comfortable they feel upon entering our space. Finding a supportive community can be as important as the consistency of your practice. Your community are the folks who will celebrate you, comfort you, grow alongside you and encourage you to keep showing up!
Accessible and Sustainable:
We endeavor to make our practices as accessible and sustainable as possible. By offering private yoga sessions at a discounted rate with our Absolute Beginner Bundle, new and returning students can begin to cultivate a practice in the way that is most supportive of their unique needs in a one to one setting. We also strive to offer weekly classes that support all levels of yoga and Tai Chi experience with instructors who know how to adapt the practice to a variety of body types and abilities. Our PLYW community is one of the most important aspects of creating a sustainable practice. When you are surrounded by friends, you stay motivated and look forward to coming back!
