Svalja Whole-Being

Svalja Whole-Being Svälja Whole-Being is a trauma-conscious healing center in downtown Duluth. We offer yoga, fitness, Qigong, meditation, and YTT. Yoga means to unite.

Dedicated to accessibility, a free recovery program, and partnerships with nonprofits so all connect to their innate wholeness At Svälja Yoga (pronounced “svehl-yah”) all of our offerings are trauma-conscious. Through our Whole-Being Well-Being approach, we support people on their own unique healing journey. We share the wisdom and practice of yoga in a way that is accessible, inclusive, and honor

s choice. Yoga is a pathway to well-being and to the realization of our innate wholeness. We guide participants to connect with their internal resources and potential for healing, transformation, and growth. Through this exploratory journey we rediscover home, deep within: our true selves. We offer classes, workshops, retreats, and a 250-hour Yoga Teacher Training program.

The poet's mind floats and dances on
the waves of life amidst the voices of
wind and water.
Now when the sun has set and the
darkened sky draws upon the sea
like drooping lashes upon a weary eye
it is time to take away his pen, and
let his thoughts sink into the bottom
of the deep amid the eternal secret of
that silence.

There are still a few spots left!!

This 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽 invites children to slow down and reconnect with their true selves through a blend of Qigong, music therapy, journaling, and imaginative play. Surrounded by the magic of the woods, participants build confidence and emotional awareness while forming meaningful connections with nature and each other.

Join Melissa on Sunday from 6:30-7:45 pm for Yin & Deep Rest.

Yin is a therapeutic, slow-paced form of yoga where postures are held passively with the support of props for longer periods of time (1-10 minutes) to move into our connective tissue and activate sensation to release and open more deeply. Gentle and quiet ambient music to create a grounding atmosphere and support mindful presence.
