Rising Lotus Healing Center - Yoga Studio

Eight years ago, we took a leap of faith and transformed Rising Lotus into a thriving home for movement, healing, and connection. Over the years, together we’ve built something truly special – a space where friendships blossom, where transformation happens, and where every person who walks in the door is welcomed as part of the family.
To honor 8 incredible years, Rising Lotus Healing Center is hosting Karma Week – a week of FREE yoga classes all day, every day from August 24th to August 30th. This tradition is our way of saying thank you for keeping the heart of Rising Lotus beating strong.&nbsp;
Whether you’ve been with us since the early days or just joined this year, you are a part of this story – and we couldn’t imagine it without you. Here’s to celebrating our past, embracing the present, and moving boldly into the future together.&nbsp;
