Welcome everyone
Every body is a yoga body. We teach to who is actually in the room, not to an image of a perfect pose.
About Sattva
The story behind the studio
Sattva began with one mat, one valley, and the quiet belief that everyone deserves a place to breathe.
Our beginning
A studio built one breath at a time
In 2016, Maya Linden rented a sunlit room above the bakery on Cedar Lane, rolled out a dozen mats and offered the neighborhood free classes for a month. Forty people came. Nearly all of them stayed.
Nine years and one very loved wooden floor later, Sattva has grown into a full studio with a team of fifteen teachers, a weekend retreat lodge by the creek, and the same founding promise: nobody practices alone, and nobody is rushed.
What we stand for
Mission, held in three values
Teach to the body
Props, adjustments and honest dialogue — not dogma. If it hurts, we change it. If it helps, we keep it.
Slow is a skill
We keep classes small so no one is ever lost. Our biggest ambition is that you leave slower than you arrived.
