Story

Wild Lotus Yoga classes stand out because of our commitment to sharing yoga in an integrative way that awakens physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual awareness. In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, our teachers share their love of yoga and offer unique perspectives on our monthly theme designed to broaden your connection to yourself, to yoga, and to the world. You are invited to experience yoga practice as a conscious expression of the life you are living and creating

We love the physicality of yoga and also celebrate the universal spirituality of yoga practice in positive, life-affirming, accessible ways - avoiding dogma and self-righteousness. Wild Lotus Yoga classes emphasize setting an intention for yoga practice, creating space for you to link the practice to what is meaningful in your life. The tools shared in class include some combination of yoga postures (asanas), breathing practices (pranayama), meditation, music, mantras, readings, poems, stories, guided visualizations, self-inquiry practices, and more-all linked consciously together. We seek to offer creative instruction throughout the class that puts generous attention on physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic, and breath awareness, with a strong emphasis placed on savasana, the deeply rejuvenating period of rest at the end of each class.

We offer a wide variety of over 50 classes a week for all levels of experience. Classes are guided by a friendly staff of skilled teachers sharing inspiration through diverse styles of yoga. Offerings include numerous ongoing yoga classes, 6 and 12 week courses, meditation, kids yoga, pre and postnatal yoga, private lessons, workshops & lectures with renowned visiting teachers, teacher training, concerts, films, community service, a selection of discounted and donation-based community classes, and more!

Mission

To turn ourselves and our community on to living an inspired, creative, and passionate life through yoga and related healing arts.

We love New Orleans and the way that the spirit of yoga blends so sweetly with the soul of our beloved city. We love the festive nature and romance of New Orleans and experience yoga as one of many ways to celebrate life here.
