WHO WE ARE

"community of the heart."

The word "Kula" is a Sanskrit word meaning, "community of the heart."
In 2017 when Kate opened the studio her intension was to have a wellness community that welcomed, accepted and appreciated everyone as they are on the mat today. When they leave and return back to the larger community, they return being their best self. Collectively, our larger community is better for every person who makes time for self-care.
The city Worcester, where we are located, declares itself- "The Heart of the Commonwealth."
For these reasons choosing the name 'Kula' and using a heart in our logo made perfect sense.
The color green was chosen because it's perceived to be calming and it's associated with the heart chakra.
MISSION
To make our space feel like home. You are welcome and accepted here. We build a sense of community within our space so that people can go back to the larger community holding the sense of Kula in their hearts.
Our hope is you find what works for you. Move your body in a way that makes you feel good. Yoga is not “one size fits all”. Kula Yoga & Wellness offers a variety of classes from the athletic to restful. We believe wellness is for EVERY body. It doesn't matter if you can't touch your toes, or maybe you feel like you can't sit still. You are welcome and accepted here.
We are all meeting on the mat together to find a sense of wholeness, even if it’s for a few brief minutes.
