Root: Center for Yoga & Sacred Studies

This Yoga Center provides the most authentic classes I have ever taken. This was the first center I attended a Yoga class at when I moved to Colorado Springs, and from the moment I sat in class with Jessica I was in awe with the great sincerity and accessibility of her teachings. The beauty of the physical space is breathtaking, you can feel the love oozing from the walls. After having tried out multiple other small studios in the area, I can hands down say that this is the best place to practice Yoga in all of the springs. Come here whenever you need a deep breath, a pause, and great love!!

i have yet to find a place in the springs that honors the sacred practices of yoga like Root does. the variety of classes offered in such a genuine, loving, and devoted way are changing the lens of western commodified yoga and what people “think” these practices stand for and “should” look like. i am forever grateful for these walls, and recommend everyone to attend a class! donation based, zoom, and pay it forward classes offered!

The experience at Root is phenomenal! I have gone through yoga teacher training here and I attend classes regularly; the education and classes provided are and were so amazing and I feel so grateful to be a part of the Root family. It is such an inviting, peaceful and joyful place to practice and be a part of a community. Jessica Patterson, the owner and lead teacher, is such a graceful and warm soul, her classes are sure to be an amazing experience as well as many other classes at Root. I highly recommend practicing at Root! You will not regret it :)

Today's 8 year anniversary Open House @ Root was magical! A beautiful assortment of classes and teaching styles (one with Live Cello!), a community autumn garland to decorate, many creative ways to support 3 different local non-profits, such an array of clothing, art, jewelry and books for sale... I was so grateful to be a part of the magic that is Root Center today! The teachers here are so supportive of modifying postures and making everyone feel included and cared for. Wow! THIS is what Yoga is truly about! Support. Community. Seeing, and Being Seen.

Root is definitely my new favorite yoga studio. The location is nice, since you don’t have to worry about parking downtown or in Old Colorado City. The studio has a nice layout and an awesome practice space. To top it all off, my favorite teacher, Jessica Patterson runs it! She provides a deeper understanding of yoga that goes beyond just the physical benefits of the practice. Her chakra tuning workshops are an amazing experience and have made me want to further my understanding of yogic philosophy, and maybe even pursue teaching in the future. I’ve only made it to a few other classes at the studio, and so far they have all been great! Root has certainly put together something special here.
