(256)

Voted "Best Yoga Studio in New Orleans" 20 years in a row in Gambit's annual Reader's Poll. Wild Lotus Yoga classes stand out because of our commitment to sharing yoga in an integrative way that awakens physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual awareness. In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, our teachers share their love of yoga and offer unique perspectives in themed classes designed to broaden y

our connection to yourself, to yoga, and to the world. You are invited to experience yoga practice as a conscious expression of the life you are living and creating

We love the physicality of yoga and also celebrate the universal spirituality of yoga practice in positive, life-affirming, accessible ways - avoiding dogma and self-righteousness. Wild Lotus Yoga classes emphasize setting an intention for yoga practice, creating space for you to link the practice to what is meaningful in your life. The tools shared in class include some combination of yoga postures (asanas), breathing practices (pranayama), meditation, music, mantras, readings, poems, stories, guided visualizations, self-inquiry practices, and more-all linked consciously together. We seek to offer creative instruction throughout the class that puts generous attention on physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic, and breath awareness, with a strong emphasis placed on savasana, the deeply rejuvenating period of rest at the end of each class. Classes are guided by a friendly staff of skilled teachers sharing inspiration through diverse styles of yoga. Offerings include ongoing daily classes, teacher training, courses, workshops, concerts, retreats, private lessons, sliding scale memberships, community classes, and more!

Roots & Wings: Crow & Friends (Bakasana) w/ Rebecca Crenshaw September 13 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm $45

Never done Crow pose before? This workshop is perfect for you. You’ll learn how to practice the component parts of the pose so that you leave with something much more useful than “just keep trying.”

Already comfortable in Crow? Great! We’ll refine the details that can make the pose feel lighter and more sustainable, then use those same principles to move into Side Crow and its extended-leg variation.

Rise & Shine: 60-Minute Quick Flow (Tuesdays with LaTesha & Thursdays with Aloysius)

Start your day with intention, breath, and movement. This energizing 60-minute flow is designed to awaken the body, clear the mind, and set fire to your spirit.

We’ll begin with a brief dharma reflection to connect our practice to a simple intention, then move into an uplifting sequence of dynamic movement, flowing breath, and strengthening postures. Expect to build a little heat, play with fun challenges, and leave feeling grounded, strong, and ready to take on your day!

Crow Pose (Bakasana) isn’t just about strength. In this workshop, Rebecca Crenshaw helps you learn the anatomy, weight shift, leverage, and body mechanics behind Crow and its “friends,” Side Crow, and Eka Pada Koundinyasana I, with options for everyone from the Crow-curious to experienced arm balancers.

You’ll build these poses from the ground up, with lots of individual trouble-shooting, progressive drills and strategic props, and plenty of time for experimentation, curiosity, and play! The goal isn’t to collect poses. It’s to understand your body well enough to know how to work toward them. In this two-hour workshop, we’ll explore the mechanics that makes Crow and these related arm balannces work:

- how to use your hands and wrists
- organize your shoulders
- create core compression
- shift your center of gravity
- work with rotation, and
- distribute effort through your whole body.


You’ll explore multiple ways into each pose—and there is absolutely no requirement that you lift both feet off the ground.

Did you know that most Yoga Teacher Training programs do not offer their trainees any clear path forward to real teaching positions? Graduates are simply congratulated and then sent on their way.

Plus, what most YTT programs don’t tell you is that many graduates don’t feel ready to go right into teaching public classes anyway. They need time to integrate all they’ve learned; they need time to practice.

This is why we designed Wild Lotus Yoga’s Budding Teachers program, the only one New Orleans, which gives graduates of our Living Yoga Teacher Training program a clear, accessible, and effective transition from trainee to teacher. The Buds program is free for all LYTT graduates.

Last week, we explored what Living Yoga Teacher Training is. Today, let’s talk about what it isn’t. 🪷
Living Yoga Teacher Training isn’t a quick certification or simply a path to becoming a yoga instructor. It isn’t about memorizing scripts, earning letters after your name, or following a rigid belief system.

Instead, LYTT is an immersive experience designed to help you deepen your practice, develop a greater understanding of yoga, and discover your own authentic voice. Whether you dream of teaching or simply want to enrich your life through yoga, this training meets you where you are and supports your journey of growth.
