The Offering
Yoga has a beautiful way of nourishing the physical body, calming the mind, and enlivening the soul. Not only is yoga a 'work-out' but it is also a 'work-in'. As we build strength and stability within our framework, the inward experience also begins to shift. Can you feel it?
Within an 8-limbed practice, movement becomes means of celebration and exploring our edges of discomfort, while stillness serves as means to acquaint and illuminate the light within. This ebb and flow of yin and yang, strength and softness, is an ongoing practice and process of discovery.
Roll out your mat and come as you are. All are welcome here.

The Heat
Latitude 44 Yoga Studio is heated with state-of-the-art infrared heat panels which offer endless benefits including detoxification and therapeutic healing properties through increased circulation and relaxation.
Radiant, infrared, heat feels much different than forced air as it heats your body as opposed to the air around you. This makes it much easier to breath. The heat is not heavy. It is pure heat without the weight. If you struggle in wet or dry saunas and therefore steer away from hot yoga, give infrared heat a try!

The Space
Latitude 44 Yoga Studio has two studio spaces - one heated with infrared heat panels (90-92°) and one maintained at an average room temperature (70-72°). Both rooms feature beautiful stained glass windows, which create a blissful ambiance for your practice. Spaces are always clean and organized, supporting your practice in saucha and mental decompression. We have intentionally selected to leave both spaces free from mirrors to assist you in guiding your practice inward. Feeling your practice versus watching your practice is a widely supported method for interoceptive and proprioceptive development (aka. making your practice tremendously more impactful).
The Start
|
In April of 2014, Amy saw we had an opportunity in the Eau Claire community. At that time, we did not have any full-time yoga studios. Hopping from gym to cross-fit studio back to the gym to fulfill her desires to practice yoga in community just wasn't cutting it. The vision of Latitude 44 Yoga Studio is to offer a full class schedule, an array of class options, and a supporting yoga community regardless of your background or the reasons you're joining us for class.
In August of 2015, Amy had the honor of being awarded the Jump-Start grant for her business plan submission to Downtown Eau Claire. Thank you to to Downtown Eau Claire, Inc. for believing in us and thank you to our fellow downtown businesses for your support and contribution! |
