“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”
-Margaret J. Wheatley
Luma’s doors may be closed, but our mission is alive, our live stream is rolling, and we need your help to weather these unprecedented times. With the onset of Covid-19, the daily operations of in-person service providers like Luma have shifted dramatically.
We need each other now more than ever.
In an effort to continue serving the health & well-being needs of our community, Luma has:
- created a weekly live stream of yoga classes that are open to all
- continued serving our pre/postnatal community with support circles and birth education
- transitioned our retail store online, providing curbside pick-up
- developed support offerings for essential workers
- converted wellness services to virtual sessions
- curated a toolkit of wellness practices for essential workers
As we work to keep yoga and wellness on offer, we also vow to be honest about what is difficult for us, a small community business. We are taking all the measures we can: drastically reducing costs, and applying for the loans and grants applicable to us, but to survive these unusual times we also need your help. We cannot do this alone. Follow our COVID-19 story here.
Ultimately, Luma is a social enterprise. We don’t exist to turn a profit, we exist to nurture a community. And in these financially uneasy times, we’re asking our community to band together and support us.

CLASS + PLAYSCHOOL
When we say that we offer classes for everyone, at every age, we mean it! Our schedule is designed to reflect a well-rounded practice for adults & children, ranging from gentle to advanced classes (and everything in between) as well as Playschool (for ages 6 MO – 6 YRS) and classes for toddlers and teens alike.
If you are looking for online classes to do at home, you can watch any of our practices from our online library on-demand, or head over to our Vimeo page to live-stream with us from the studio!
You are welcome to view our weekly class below, in list format. Additionally, you can download our PDF schedule that shows tandem offerings in both studios, color-coded by type of class for easy reading!
