About Inner Peace Yoga

Our Story, Mission & Values

Our Story

Inner Peace Yoga Tulsa was founded with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a space where people of all backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels could access authentic, high-quality yoga instruction in a welcoming, non-judgmental environment. We've been honored to serve the Tulsa community as a sanctuary for those seeking balance, wellness, and transformation through the practice of yoga.

Our journey began with a commitment to offering "real yoga for real people"—a philosophy that continues to guide everything we do. We recognized that while yoga had become increasingly popular, many people felt intimidated by fitness-focused studios or confused by trendy variations that strayed from yoga's authentic roots. We wanted to create something different: a place where the ancient wisdom of yoga could be accessed by modern practitioners in a way that felt both genuine and approachable.

Over the years, Inner Peace Yoga has grown from a small studio into a thriving community hub, but our core mission remains unchanged. We continue to prioritize quality instruction, individual attention, and creating an atmosphere where every person who walks through our doors feels welcomed, supported, and empowered to begin or deepen their yoga journey.

Our Mission & Values

At Inner Peace Yoga Tulsa, our mission is to facilitate positive life change through authentic and high-quality yoga instruction. We believe that yoga is much more than physical exercise—it's a holistic practice that integrates body, mind, and spirit, leading to greater well-being in all areas of life.

Authenticity

We honor the traditional roots of yoga while making it accessible and relevant to contemporary life. Our instructors are thoroughly trained in yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology.

Inclusion

Yoga is for every body. We welcome students of all ages, body types, fitness levels, and backgrounds. Our classes offer modifications to ensure everyone can participate fully and safely.

Community

We've cultivated a warm, supportive sangha where students feel connected and inspired. The friendships formed here often become as valuable as the practice itself.

Growth

We support continuous learning in self-awareness, mindfulness, and personal transformation. We encourage students to embrace yoga as a lifelong practice.

Integrity

We maintain the highest standards in teaching, business practices, and community engagement, committed to ethical, transparent operations.

Excellence

Our instructors pursue ongoing education through Yoga Alliance standards, ensuring quality instruction.

Our Teaching Philosophy

What you'll experience at Inner Peace Yoga is teaching that balances tradition with innovation, challenge with compassion, and individual attention with community connection. Our instructors are carefully selected not just for their credentials and knowledge, but for their ability to create a safe, encouraging learning environment.

  • Safe Alignment: Proper alignment is fundamental to preventing injury and gaining the full benefits of each pose. Our instructors provide detailed guidance and hands-on adjustments to help you develop safe, sustainable practice.
  • Mindful Movement: Yoga is a moving meditation. We emphasize breath awareness, present-moment focus, and the integration of physical movement with mental clarity.
  • Personalized Instruction: We maintain smaller class sizes, allowing instructors to observe students individually and offer guidance tailored to each person's needs and abilities.
  • Holistic Practice: While physical poses are important, we also incorporate pranayama, meditation, and yogic philosophy to provide a complete practice that benefits your entire being.

Our diverse class offerings ensure that you can find the right practice for your current needs—whether that's a gentle, restorative class to calm your nervous system, a dynamic vinyasa flow to build strength and heat, or a focused alignment-based class to refine your technique.

Serving Tulsa

Inner Peace Yoga is proud to be part of the Tulsa community. Beyond our regular class schedule, we offer corporate yoga programs, bringing the benefits of yoga directly to local businesses and organizations. We host workshops and special events that explore various aspects of yoga and wellness, from meditation intensives to yoga philosophy discussions to specialty classes focusing on specific populations or conditions.

We've also trained numerous yoga teachers through our 200-hour and specialized training programs, contributing to the growth of qualified instructors throughout the region. Many of our graduates have gone on to teach at schools, studios, and community centers, spreading the practice of yoga throughout Tulsa and beyond.

Our instructors are dedicated not only to teaching yoga but to continuous learning in wellness, recovery science, and holistic health. We encourage our teaching team to stay current with developments in exercise physiology, mindfulness research, and integrative approaches to well-being, ensuring our students receive informed guidance that reflects both traditional yoga wisdom and modern health science.

Our commitment to accessibility means we regularly offer donation-based community classes, ensuring that financial constraints don't prevent anyone from experiencing the benefits of yoga. We believe wellness should be available to everyone, and we're continually seeking ways to serve our community more fully.
