Yoga Instructors in Excelsior, Minnesota (Hennepin County)

Good and Twisted Yoga is here to provide a refuge away from the demands of hectic everyday life where our students can focus on their journey of personal growth and improved health. Our passionate instructors will guide students safely through a yoga practice that challenges them physically and mentally, while giving each student permission to do what feels good in his or her own body. Our focus is not on the attainment of the perfect physical pose or “asana” (since no such thing exists!), but on uniting the body, mind and spirit to promote a life in balance.
The intention of the instructors at Good & Twisted Yoga is to assist students in the development of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being: a truly priceless health advantage. Our studio features certified & well-trained, professional instructors, progressive teaching methods, a non-competitive and encouraging atmosphere, and a beautiful facility. We are dedicated to listening to our students’ feedback and reacting quickly to meet your needs.
We believe it is a huge honor and responsibility to be someone's first introduction to yoga-beginners are always welcome!... See More

You've tried the rest...now try the best.

Chosen as "Best Yoga in the Twin Cities" by City Pages in 2007, The Yoga Pioneers offer heated-room yoga classes for all shapes, sizes, and levels of ability - ages 11 to 111.

TYP's FOUNDATION class is open to everyone, age 11 and up. It's one hour long and held in a warm room (85°-95°F). New to yoga? Not very flexible? No problem. Our caring teachers will make you feel welcome and comfortable.

TYP's EXPLORER class kicks up the heat (98°-105°F) and runs about 100 minutes. Classes are interactive and include guided meditation. 16 and up, for most levels from adventurous beginner to seasoned yogi.

What makes TYP unique? Nowadays, "fitness" yoga in many styles is offered in gyms, health clubs, and yoga studios. At TYP, though, yoga is way more than a trendy workout. We recognize that yoga has been helping people achieve physical health, mental balance, and self-realization for centuries...and that's how we present it.... See More
