The Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce mission is to connect our members and the Cottage Grove Community to help them grow and thrive together.

Kula Yoga & Wellness has been a proud member of the CG Chamber since 2012 when we opened!  Kula continues to partner and collaborate with the chamber to bring awareness of what small business has to offer in Cottage Grove.  Becky currently  holds a seat on the CG Chamber Board of Directors and was voted Member Volunteer of the Year in 2019.

Small businesses need all he help we can get!  Thanks to Dane Buy Local, we “little guys”  have a bigger voice.  People helping people, that’s pretty yogic 🙂

Unnata Aerial Yoga is a carefully developed method of Hatha Yoga that uses the support of a soft, fabric Aerial hammock suspended from the ceiling to enhance and refine a traditional floor Yoga practice.

The Unnata method is more than an Aerial Yoga class. Beyond flips, tricks and pretty poses, the Unnata method teaches deeper body awareness in multidimensional space.  Surrendering into the hammock, you’ll gain insight about how you hold your posture, where you’ve held chronic tension, or how you habitually move through space. The Unnata method guides you to unwind old physical patterns, and reset to your body’s true alignment. You can expand flexibility, increase range of motion, build strength, lengthen the spine, and relax the nervous system.

Asana, Evolved

Think you’ve mastered downward-facing dog? Lean into it with the hammock, and you might notice new ah-ha’s about the posture that never would have occured to you in a usual Yoga practice. With the hammock’s hold, gravity’s pull, and your teacher’s guidance, you will realize where you can lengthen and extend, strengthen and support, or soften and release in completely new ways – and then you can apply those same details in your regular floor Yoga practice, too. In an Unnata class, you can access asanas beyond your reach in a traditional yoga class – true inversions, deeper supported backbends, attainable handstands, and cocoon-like savasanas.

You might even explore subtle Yogic teachings that become more accessible with the hammock, including pranayama (breathing exercises), bandhas (ways of directing subtle energy), or moments of meditation in levitation.

Beyond asana in air, Unnata Aerial Yoga guides you to unlock and understand the deeper wisdom of Yoga.

The RajaHatha School of Yoga was founded in 2004 by Amy Pearce-Hayden in NY, with a root intent to strengthen the community through individual empowerment and education. Today more than 100 students have graduated from her 200 & 500-hour Yoga Alliance Registered programs. Amy brought RHSOY to Madison in the summer of 2015 where Kula  hosted both programs. Becky and Amy (and her own studio Tantra in Madison) continue to partner to offer exceptional teaching and training in and around the Madison area and well beyond.  Students who embark on this life-changing path find both personal and professional reward from the decades of study that Amy brings to her teachings. The philosophy is simple: “Everything is connected. The path to healing lies in uncovering the truth of the present and aligning with it.” Using both modern and ancient yogic application together is the foundation of this school’s curriculum.

Better together.  Amy Pearce-Hayden and Kula owner (Becky) have a universal connection, so why shouldn’t their studios be as well?  We consider our studios to be “sisters” and we support each other.  Watch for workshops and cross-over teaching as well as other partnerships between us!

We take wellness seriously at Kula and so do the others we choose to align with.  Qet offers the BEST skin, hair and body care products and bonus they are LOCAL!  Lisa, the founder of Qet, launched her company in april of 2013 right after Kula opened and we met a Women’s Wellness Expo shortly after.  I have been using their products since and I’m happy to offer some of Lisa’s wonderful things for you to try at Kula!

Kula is proud to align with powerful women – we know a few and are happy to meet more. The founder/creator/visionary behind Tiny Blue Orange is one of those women.  Alison manages the backend of our awesome website – she does the “scary” stuff that allows us to add our Kula awesome to the world wide web.  Becky and Alison met when she came to Kula for class – the universe has a way of connecting:-)  She has now completed her yoga teacher training and offers yoga classes at the CrossFit gym she trains with.  Powerful women are the best!

It really does take a village to run a small business (and really everything else, too)!  Anne is one of those villagers that I can’t imagine doing what I do without.  She wears many hats and all of them she wears exceptionally well.  She’s my acupuncturist and Chinese medicine guide, my essential oil guru and mentor extraordinaire.  Did I mention she’s also a damn-fine yoga instructor as well?  Trust me – you need Anne in your life.
