Mindful yoga studio with yoga classes from exceptionally experienced yoga instructors

The first yoga center established in Saint Paul, the Saint Paul Yoga
Center offers yoga instruction by some of the most experienced yoga teachers in the Midwest. We remain dedicated to creating a safe learning environment for practicing yoga with depth and lightness, substance and joy.

Though it would be easier to work on just a surface level, we offer a yoga sanctuary to help you explore and re-discover your true nature. While our yoga classes have physical benefits for the body, they are not taught simply as exercise.

No experience with yoga is necessary to join one of our beginning classes. For many students, our yoga center is their first experience with yoga. All abilities and bodies are affirmed at our yoga center.

The Saint Paul Yoga Center provides independent yoga teachers a collaborative environment to teach a wide variety of yoga traditions. The center’s eleven teachers have a combined 300 years of yoga teaching experience!

Our center has in-person And Online options!

The St. Paul Yoga Center offers all of its classes in-person, and we are offering most of our classes in a live online format using Zoom. For live-streaming classes (in which the teacher can see and interact with the students), register for classes as you normally would on our class schedule page, and you will be sent a link to access your yoga class about an hour before the class begins. Please let us know if you have any questions about this or need any assistance with signing up or with connecting to Zoom. Students have found Zoom to be very easy to work with, using a wide variety of devices and browsers.

This is a great yoga studio. That is what they do. No spa treatments, no cross selling, teachers with over 280 year combined yoga experience they tell me. I learned the fundamentals here which helps for anything else called yoga. There are teachers and classes for any level you want.If you want a studio that lives up to the name yoga, this is it.

Tesitmonial WrIyengar yoga (and the stellar Iyengar yoga instructors!) at the St Paul Yoga Center is a top reason for me to feel grounded, peaceful and healthy on a day to day basis. The instructors are consistently fantastic at what they do. I constantly think to myself after their 90 minute classes that health insurance should absolutely be covering this. For me personally, it is a method of healing (and maintenance of health) which uses both movement and absence of movement (stillness), strength, and balance to impart wellness into my life at an exponential level. I can’t speak highly enough about the St Paul Yoga Center!iteup

It’s amazing how the St. Paul Yoga Center was able to pivot in March and offer quality online yoga classes that make me come back again and again. These are so much better than a random video from YouTube, because the instructor creates a community of practitioners and offers one-on-one advice. I love these classes!

If you want real yoga with real yoga teachers, who have tons of experience, check out St. Paul Yoga on Selby. They are extremely knowlaedgable and dedicated, and call you by your name. You’re not just another person in the room that has fallen under the spell of yoga. They deeply care about either restoring your body if you have issues that you need to deal with, or deepening your yoga practice, whether spiritual or physical. I am constantly amazed by their sense of including different types of people, ages, and bodies.

The knowledge of your teachers is amazing. How they are able to work with each student individually, adjusting postures via blankets, blocks, chairs, or just a soft touch or word. I also love they way subtle moves are valued – and not the “Yoga Journal cover photo” postures. Thank you!!

I’ve attended 2 classes with Paul, and found them both to be an extremely personalized experience. Paul is very knowledgeable about poses, yoga, and the body. My class was completely different from past experiences at corporate yoga studios and I’d urge anyone interested to attend a drop in class.

Things that were new to me: much more use of props, which helped me get more into poses; no mirrors on the walls, so it felt much lower pressure to look or perform a certain way; more individualized attention; no music (unless you count Paul’s chanting).

Also, I brought my boyfriend who had never done yoga, and he found it very accessible and plans to keep going!

Excellent instruction! I’m amazed by how much instruction occurred despite the tiny of trickle of information (viewing angle, partial visibility, etc) over Zoom. I’m grateful for the instruction and wanted to send my sincere thanks for your efforts!

1) The instructors are great! I have taken two All Levels donation classes with Paul Busch. He is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He tailors each class to match students’ level/background, injuries, and preferences.

2) The studio itself is quiet, well stocked, clean, and relaxing.

3) Donation based classes are inclusive and affordable!

We're happy you're here!
