Join Ann for an all levels yoga class benefiting the FM Coalition to End Homelessness! This class is open to all, and your $10 donation will help provide basic needs to members of our community.

Join us on Christmas Eve for a morning of gentle, all levels asana, pranayama (breathing practice), and meditation. All are welcome in this class, so bring your family and friends who are around for holidays and start Christmas off with some deep care and compassion.

Purnima, or the full moon, is a sacred time to re-align with the cosmic rhythm. It’s a time to go into yourself and allow the luminosity of the moon to reveal Truth in your being. The moon controls the manas, or the mind, so when we reach the full moon point in the cycle, our minds are more open and receptive. We allow this innate sense of receptivity to expand our awareness and illuminate areas in our lives where we can release and where we can cultivate.

What to expect:

Each ceremony will include different practices, but below are some of what you might experience.

Intention setting, journaling, meditation, asana, chanting mantra, conversation, tea or cacao, creative project, and more.

Paper and pen will be provided at every gathering, but please feel free to bring your own. We will also be creating and alter, so please bring a small, meaningful item to add to the sacred space that we will sit around in ceremony.

**Full Moon and New Moon gatherings are included in class packages and memberships; $15 drop in rate applies for non-members

Shift your perspective with Caroline McQuire and learn how to practice inversion and arm balances in your asana practice. In the workshop, you’ll learn the best practices for moving in and out of arm balances and inversions. You will have the opportunity to listen, learn and experience the asanas in a safe and supportive environment, and maybe learn your body can do even more amazing things than you thought!

Join Andrea for an afternoon of Yoga Nidra! Andrea will introduce the practice of yoga Nidra with information and knowledge, and then she will take you into the deep realms of your being with a complete practice of yoga Nidra so that you can better integrate the knowledge she provides.

This immersion is only open to 5 participants!

CEUs available.

Join Caroline for a morning of Prenatal Yoga! Caroline will introduce the best practices of prenatal yoga and guide you through a class yourself as a way for you to experience the asanas from a possibly new perspective. If you are a new or experienced yoga teacher, consider joining so that you can be better equipped to care for your students.

This immersion is only open to 5 yoga teachers.

CEUs available.

Join Kayla and Crystal for an Ecstatic Dance experience that focuses on deep gratitude! We will begin in circle with cacao ceremony and trataka - a candle gazing meditation. Then we’ll move into ecstatic dance and end in stillness in shavasana. Fill yourself with deep gratitude through this 2 hour ecstatic experience! **This event sells out, so please save your spot earlier rather than later.

In this workshop, you’ll explore subtle body anatomy, the respiratory system, and several pranayama practices as well. Kim will focus on not only the knowledge, but experience, so you will be exploring the practices of pranayama in your own body, such as nadi shodhana, ujayii, and more.

Prana is life force, and it is through pranayama that our awareness moves in closer to remembering . A yoga practice without pranayama loses its vitality and so in this workshop we will discuss and learn the importance of the breath as the vehicle for our life force energy’s flow.

Tips for Attendance:

Please do not arrive on a full stomach; eat between 1.5-2 hrs before arrival.

Please bring any comforts that help you listen and learn, including any props you like to have with you or clothes to keep you at a neutral temperature.

Join us for our New Moon ceremony! Every month we come together to celebrate the Full Moon, and now we will join again to welcome the new cycle.

What to expect:

Each ceremony will include different practices, but below are some of what you might experience.

Intention setting, journaling, meditation, asana, chanting mantra, conversation, tea or cacao, creative project, and more.

Join us at MB Johnson Park for a peaceful morning that combines the yoga asana (movement) and pranayama (breathing) with the mindful birding.

We will meet at MB Johnson Park and begin with a gentle asana class, then Amanda Booher of Audubon Great Plains will guide a mindful birding experience. We will walk as a group to a spot where we can sit and from there Amanda will guide us through a meditative experience where we mindfully observe the nature around us.

This is a great way to start the weekend and included in the ticket price is a t-shirt and water bottle from Audubon Great Plains.

Please indicate the size t-shirt you'd like in the notes when you register or email kim@downtownyogafargo.com with you size.

Registration for this event closes October 1st to ensure that we get the t-shirts in time for the event, so please don't wait to sign up. There are only 10 spaces available!

Join Kelsey of Rising Dawn Ceramics and Kim from Downtown Yoga Fargo for a mindful urban day retreat including yoga and meditation, wheel throwing, and the option to enjoy a special lunch from Moonrise Cafe! Yoga is more than just movements on the mat; it is a learning to be present and mindful in all that you do in your life. Along with the meditation and asanas of yoga, there are many ways to cultivate mindfulness in daily life, and one of those is wheel throwing! In order to create a ceramics piece that has integrity, strength, and balance, you must be centered and aware of the present, not lost in distractions or rush. Kelsey and Kim have brought the two practices together, both playing off and with each other, to bring more mindfulness, presence, and gratitude to daily life.  

Yoga Nidra is a practice of letting go of tension in the body and the mind and resetting the nervous system. This "yogic sleep" is an effortless meditation that is typically practiced lying down and is an accessible meditation for most people because of the completely supportive nature for the body, resulting in a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. You'll be shown other positions that may allow you to experience comfort and surrender more easily if lying down is not right for you, for any reason. The use of pillows, bolsters, blankets, and an eye pillow or light scarf across the eyes are wonderful ways to assist yourself in experiencing supreme comfort during this practice. Once the body does not feel the need to hold and support itself, there is potential to move into more subtle layers of the self to allow for a deep state of rest and promote healing. You will be guided throughout the practice and no experience with yoga or meditation practices is necessary. A great way to diffuse stress and recharge for the week ahead!

**The studio does offer blankets and bolsters, and eye pillows. Please dress in layers (don't forget the socks) as your body temperature will drop as you relax into the practice.

**This class is included in memberships and class packages. $15 drop in rate applies

In our Yoga 101 series of pop up classes, we will dive deeper into the various aspects and traditions within the practice of yoga. This series is open to all, beginners and experienced students. Yoga is vast, and as students, we are never done learning and integrating, so come and deepen your understanding and practice of yoga. 

Our next session in this series will be Wednesday, June 19th at 7:00pm, and we will explore Ayurvedic practices, along with yogic practices, that will keep your being in harmony this hot and humid season ahead.

Joe has practiced Ashtanga yoga for over ten years and will demystify, declutter and make the Primary Series accessible to everyone

Join Kayla for a candle-lit night of meditative connection. We’ll be connecting with one another in circle and connecting to our own bodies, minds and spirits through guided sensual stretch and seated meditation.

Just as a candle flame flickers, we too experience subtle and physical shifts throughout our daily lives. In meditation, we build resilience to those flickers, or changes, and learn to maintain our stability, just as the candle keeps burning despite the air shifting its flame. Overtime, we learn to respond rather than react and burnout. In this 75 minute class you have an opportunity to deeply feel the subtle shifts within your being and the inner stability that keeps your light shining.

Join us for a community gathering a couple times per month to discuss a book related to yoga, spirituality, and life itself! Bhakti Book Club is FREE, but if you would like to make a donation, you are welcome. All donations with go to the Downtown Engagement Center, a place supporting those in need in our downtown community.

We will continue discussing Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now on Monday, April 29th at 7:30pm.

We will be discussing Chapters 5-10. Please join if you are interested, even if you have only read the first chapter. This is a space for us all to simply show up and hear from one another.

Tea, coffee, and light treats are provided.

This is our last discussion of The Power of Now before we move onto a new book later next month!

Join David for a buoyant and alchemizing class where we’ll dive into the essence of Spring, harnessing its energy to cultivate renewal, growth, and joy within ourselves. Drawing inspiration from Katonah Yogaⓒ theory, we’ll explore the metaphor of the body as a house made up of 3 floors, 9 rooms, and 10 doors. 

First, we’ll lay out the blueprint and groundwork for our time together. Then we’ll transition into a seated breathwork and meditation practice, integrating the insights gained as we map this metaphor onto the dimensional landscape that is our body. 

If the body is our personal abode, consider this spring cleaning - sweeping through each room, dusting out the corners, rearranging the furniture, and creating space for new possibilities and expanded vision both on and off the mat. 

This workshop welcomes practitioners of all levels, inviting you to engage in self-inquiry that will spark your imagination and unlock new dimensions within your personal practice. 

Join us in welcoming 2024 and 6 years of Downtown Yoga Fargo! We will gather at 7:00pm for Kirtan, the singing of divine names together as a practice of devotion and love. We’ll end seated or lying in savasana to allow the sounds to resonate deep into the unseeable realms of our beings before coming up and out to spend time together eating and talking, celebrating the joy of our community!

Mantras will be provided for kirtan; you do not have to sing or have any experience singing to join. This practice of Kirtan is incredibly powerful and deeply liberating, so consider doing something new and joining us for the celebration.

An anniversary cake will be provided by Moonrise Cafe, the newest local coffee shop on Broadway! And, we will have other local treats and snacks available after Kirtan.

Join us in the studio or virtually for a New Year's Meditation on January 1st!

All are welcome, from beginners and experienced meditators, to join us in starting the year by re-discovering our peace within. We will spend the 45 minutes not only meditating, but discussing and potentially writing intentions, so bring a journal if you like (paper will be available at the studio.)
