Greenway Yoga

Behind a seemingly ominous bookshelf, a wondrous world of ancient yogic wisdom collides with the modern creative arts. We are a unique yoga sanctuary nestled behind Nicollet Avenue in the Eat Street/Whittier neighborhood, just blocks away from Uptown Minneapolis and the Greenway Bike path.

Our Mission

At Greenway Yoga, our mission is to make intentional yoga classes accessible to all, while sustaining the integrity of the economy, the community, and the planet. We call this initiative the Green Yoga Movement. Reserve Now Make a difference Event funds are responsibly divided equally to sustain our studio, the environment, and the community. This means that with every yoga practice, our students have committed to their well-being, the well-being of the economy, the environment, and the people around them. Class event funds are donated to local causes that are working towards improving the world around us.

Our Services

We offer a variety of yoga classes tailored to meet the needs of students of all levels. Our classes include:

• Flow: A moving meditation that links breath to movement, often referred to as Vinyasa. This class is suitable for all levels and includes core-strengthening and balancing poses.
• Kirtan: A class that weaves live music and mantra together as part of the Bhakti yoga tradition, the path of divine love. This class invites students to connect with their hearts and voices.
• Yin & Restore: A slow-paced practice that targets deeper layers of fascia and connective tissue, increasing flexibility and circulation to the joints. This class includes supportive postures held for extended periods of time.
• Craft Night: A monthly offering where participants can come together to do art, share and enjoy each other's company. This class begins with a 15-minute mindful exercise.
• Sound Bath: A weekly donation offering that includes live Crystal healing bowls. This class typically starts with light yogic exercises and meditation.
