Mission

Root Song Yoga School is a place to learn Yoga beyond the body. Honoring the “roots” of ancient Yogic wisdom and moving energy through “song” are the foundations of our practice. Root Song is a place to gain deeper knowledge of the philosophy of Yoga without having to attend a Yoga teacher training program. We offer beginner, vinyasa, and gentle asana classes in person and online, as well as harmonium and chanting lessons.
