Rooted Heart Yoga and Wellness

This is the best and most inclusive studio in the neighborhood. The owner and staff have always been so professional, kind, supportive and involved with their community. I want to personally thank the owner of the studio who went over and above to open her heart and space to anyone and everyone who might want to meditate for peace and donate to the children of war. Not many small business are so generous and inclusive at this time and the kindness and bravery of that gesture, even in the face of harassment and unfair claims made by those who don't seem to understand peace, was a stellar move from a top notch studio. Pure representation of our town's love for each other. Hard times require good leaders Rooted Heart is true community and I'm proud of them.

This is not an inclusive or welcoming yoga studio. I practiced there for the last couple of years and have gone to many of their events. I reached out about my concern around an event they were hosting to support Palestine and how it seemed like they are choosing to take a side in this very sad and devastating war. I don’t feel safe as a Jewish person going there. Their response was extremely dismissive and did not address my concern. Their compassion for others is self-selective. Asking someone to condemn Hamas’ terror attack is a pretty low bar, and they couldn’t even do that.

Some of the classes and teachers are really lovely and some are pretty underwhelming and bordering on seeming like they do not want to be there. The upstairs studio space is really cool. All different types of people come to these classes and I really love that.

I cannot say enough about Rooted Heart and specifically my favorite teacher there, Rachel. Rachel's class on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays is amazing. She has so much knowledge to offer in so many ways. Subtle positioning recommendations, thoughts, and even guided breath support (when to inhale and when to exhale) help me really sink into my own practice. Her classes are an amazing mix of nourishing and also challenging. My own practice has steadily improved with her support and knowledge. She made me fall back into love with the ritual of a yoga practice and I am so grateful to her and Rooted Heart.

Rooted Heart is such a special space! I told myself for years I needed to stop in and when I finally did, it quickly became one of my favorite places to spend time. The teachers are all amazing and each have their own unique style that I had never experienced at larger more corporate studios. They are well versed in more traditional yoga practices and have a lovely way of incorporating it into their classes. I just completed my 200 hour YTT here and couldn't be happier to have learned from some of the very best yogis in Denver! If you're looking for a studio that has a special community feel, I highly recommend RH.
