YOGA. ART. HAPPINESS.

Kalā Yoga is a warm, inclusive, globally inspired, art-filled sanctuary and supportive yoga community in Bushwick, Brooklyn that seeks to illuminate the yogic teachings, elevate happiness, and help others find a portal to a more tranquil and fulfilling way of living. Grounded in rich yoga traditions, while also celebrating modern practices that support overall health, Kalā Yoga offers a range of thoughtfully designed classes that appeal to both advanced practitioners and beginners including heated (around 90 degrees) and non-heated Vinyasa Yoga (around 75 - 80 degrees), Tone & Flow, Strength & Conditioning, Pilates, Yoga Nidra and Meditation. 

In Sanskrit, kalā translates to art, and is more broadly defined as the magical expression of all that we are capable of. In celebration of artful magic, our studio also serves as an art gallery and globally inspired boutique for local artists and artisans to share their work with the public. Our studio also goes beyond the traditional yoga experience by hosting special events that nourish the soul and acupuncture, massage and bodywork treatments that soothe the body. From art openings to live music performances, workshops, and body work, we offer a diverse range of activities that inspire creativity, foster self-expression, and promote holistic growth. We welcome artists, musicians, makers, yogis, authors, healers and collaborators of all kinds to share in our space, creating a vibrant and dynamic community.

Kate Sullivan founded Kalā Yoga out of a heartfelt desire to honor her lineage of Tibetan Buddhist yoga, and to create space for a community that also honors the wide breadth of the many beautiful yoga traditions. Our overall goal is to make the yogic teachings accessible for all - on the mat and into everyday living.

We believe in finding beauty in the present moment. We believe in loving kindness and compassion. We believe in learning to explore and discover the truth that lies within. We believe that happiness is available right here, right now. And we believe in you.

OUR CORE VALUES:

  • Community: Embodying kindness, generosity, respect for self, others, and the space we share

  • Joy: Cultivating light-heartedness, happiness, enjoyment of life

  • Creativity: Promoting artful magic in designing a complete sensorial yoga experience
