Interesting article about Balance in Relationships

Our Story
Yoga & meditation: group & private classes; empowerment, coach, reiki master, continuing education for yoga teachers. E-RYT, CNT. Formerly a studio in Eden Prairie, opened in 2008 right when our economy completely changed. Our mission became more real - yoga helps us to breath, relax and smile. What a perfect time to open. Thus began the education of a yogi in business.
A small local business with a mission, dream and unshakeable integrity has a chance only if the community joins in to be a part of it. We all learned together that a community team was the way for a small business to continue to pay its bills and provide a service that was so valuable. We trained many yoga teachers in our small yoga school, some of whom moved on to open their own studios. We inspired a few to start teaching, or follow other dreams. Most of all we provided a community place where we could join up and mindfully connect and be strong, flexible and vital together.
We suffered some setbacks and hardships and in 2014, closed the doors to the retail front of Yoga Prairie. Karen Kinnard, the founder, moved on to help another struggling small community studio in Hopkins, MN. Formerly Yogatiques, purchased by Andrew Seifert in 2015, Karen offered to help and Andrew asked her to be a business partner. It was a match! Andrew has many years of business and yoga experience and Karen the complementary vision, yoga business and teaching experience to make a great team. We rebranded in 2017 to Good Vibrations Yoga - (Andrew traveled with the Beach Boys in his earlier years as a sound engineer!).
Once again we have built an amazing community yoga studio - this time it’s even better as Karen’s dream of bringing to one studio the very best teachers available in the area and visiting teachers to travel the world to teach. Our regular teachers have taught between 4 and 25 years - the experience and expertise is unmatched.
