When the Tacoma Tuladhara Yoga Studio lost the lease on their space in the Proctor District late last year, owner Alicia Barrett did what all great entrepreneurs do. She figured it out. First a temporary location in the Stadium District met her needs and then she found a perfect location on the corner of Sixth & Union.
“It is a premium location in a newly remodeled building across from a Farrelli’s Pizza and just down the street from UPS,” said Barrett. “With a planned parking lot on its way, I knew it was a great location for us.”
With a quiet opening scheduled for September 20th, the newly constructed yoga studio features gorgeous natural light, a massage room, two bathrooms, and a locker room area—all designed to create a premium and welcoming environment. A celebratory grand opening will follow with an Open House, special classes and events at a date to be announced in October.
Tuladhara takes pride in creating a sense of community by helping people connect and come together in their beautiful, inviting studios. According to Barrett, “We have a diverse community, so we offer a diverse range of classes for those new to yoga or more rigorous classes like Pilates Fusion. We have strength building versus relaxing classes that create a huge range taught by some of the most experienced teachers in the area.”
There are three Tuladhara Yoga Studios in the area including one in Gig Harbor and their original studio on Lakewood Drive. “Having multiple locations and a successful therapy practice is only possible because I work with a very talented leadership team,” Barrett said. The studios also offer on-line yoga classes.
Facilitating longevity and aging well is a core value of the Tuladhara team. This is extended with their Yoga Teacher Trainings where they educate and train more people in the art of yoga. The training course is more than just the education needed to become a yoga instructor, but also for people wanting to understand the benefits of yoga better and massage therapists that are interested in bridging the two elements together.
