30 Years

The Saint Paul Yoga Center will celebrate its 30th Anniversary in 2023!

It was founded in 1994 by Donna Gustafson, Don Johnson, Mary Conway, and Scott Anderson. In 2013, Paul Busch, who has taught at the center since 1999, took over operations. The Saint Paul Yoga Center has always been run by students and teachers of yoga. The center embraces diversity, with 11 teachers encompassing different yoga styles and teaching techniques. Together, they have over 270 years combined yoga teaching experience!

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!

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!

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

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.

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!!

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!

Highly recommend this studio focused on Iyengar yoga. The online classes have helped me weather the pandemic and keep grounded. The teachers are all excellent and accessible, providing adjustments and guidance for injuries & aches/pains.

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.

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!
