A Look at the Beginning

She agreed and from idea to opening the doors, it was about thirty days!

Yoga House seemed like an instant success with over sixty people joining within the first few months, and adding incredibly experienced instructors to the team. This all happened without advertising!

The instant success and interest didn’t come without challenges. It was a challenge figuring out a schedule that suited the needs of the community, those who had originally come had gotten busy and hadn’t been consistently showing up, and the studio needed a few upgrades.

Partnerships

Now, only after six short months, we’ve figured out a schedule, have a crew of dedicated yoga students, and the studio has slowly been updating over each month.

Not only have we ironed out our schedule, we’re are incredibly proud to announce that we have partnered with a few great entities to continue offering yoga in our community, have begun workshops, and looking towards the future!

The Phoenix Gym

Phoenix Gym is an incredible opportunity and resource for those in recovery. Yoga House has teamed up Phoenix and is an affiliate gym. Yoga House will be offering FREE yoga classes to those in recovery beginning in February 2018

Colorado Mesa University

Yoga House has also partnered with CMU to offer yoga classes for electives as a part of their Kinesiology and Exercise Science Programs.

Montrose Rec Center

Yoga House is thrilled to partner with the Rec Center and Montrose Kayak and Surf to offer Stand Up Paddle Board – SUP Yoga! Classes are ongoing, click HERE for more details.

Workshops & Challenges

The incredible instructors of Yoga House bring a lot of experience and knowledge that we’ve been able to offer workshops.

Our first was with Chanel Brooks holding a Yoga Workshop for those wanted to learn beyond what happens in one hour yoga classes. In February, instructor Erin Porteous is holding a Pre & Post Natal Workshop for instructors to help them accommodate mommas into their classes.

Owner Melissa Lowe is holding mini 75-minute workshops on Sundays from January – February building strength and balance in her Inversion Immersion classes.

We’ve also hosted a 30-day Challenge in September with one winner, Tina Carter [read her story here], and we’re just wrapping up the Holiday Challenge in which we will announce the winner on December 31st!

And there’s more! Look forward to more details workshops and even a Yoga Teacher Training that will include a working internship.

Our Instructors

Yoga House would not be possible without these incredible women who believed and wanted to be a part of this journey. We’re excited to highlight the instructional team throughout the upcoming year!
