💕Not all gifts are things. Some are shared experiences from the heart. Sound healing is a musical meditation that soothes the nervous system. A deep reset that makes a lasting impact.

🎶 Private sound baths are an awesome way to celebrate a birthday or bride-to-be. Invite the friend who really needs a break. It’s especially helpful for someone who is grieving a loss.

💗In our sessions stress melts away and the mind gets quiet. People leave feeling like themselves again, sometimes more than they have in a while.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 All ages ans abilies welcome. We recommend afternoon or evening sessions. This is when the body is ready to slow down. Our space holds up to 20 and can accommodate a small or large group.

🌚 We offer public sound baths monthly with the new moon.

🌸✨This crown of thorns, originally a cutting from my mom’s plant that I grew up with, was left without water summer of 2004. It lost its ability to grow thorns or flowers. When we picked it up from my sister’s college apartment to move it north, we saw that it had stopped flowering but it took us years to notice the bare spots without thorns associated with the lack of growth in that era. It’s been happy at the studio since 2011 flowering, growing and sharing its beauty, right along side the rest of us!

Our end of the street may be a little quieter right now with construction and some nearby businesses closed, but we are still here serving up all the good things — and parking is super easy! We’d love to see you this weekend. 💛

Maya Angelou’s said it best: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”

Yoga makes people feel good inside and out. When people feel good, they have the capacity to make others feel good.

Dear Yoga Community,
Thank you for supporting my dreams. I never imagined I could create a life this beautiful. I want to start by saying I LOVE teaching yoga. Due to some difficult aspects of business ownership, I am feeling burnt out and in need of a healthy change. I have decided to retire from studio ownership in August. This decision doesn’t come lightly.
Many miracles fell into place for Yoga Roots to come into fruition on my 30th birthday in 2007. Our sacred space is a Divine Gift. One that I do not take for granted. One that will be hard to step away from. After 20+ years of teaching I am amazed at what I’ve been able to accomplish. Still, I feel that there is something else waiting for me.
My next dream involves warmer weather, days spent in the ocean living out my mermaid dreams. Winter retreats in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. I see colorful cloud filled skies and feel warm tropical breezes in my future. This is a fond farewell to the deepest of the winter doldrums, to snow, ice and forced air heat.
It’s being true to myself to admit that I crave growth. I am moving on to create a new adventure that feels right in every part of my body. Something that builds new neural pathways and forces me to problem solve in fresh ways. I can feel inspiration in hibernation, ready to awaken. I teem with creative ideas and look forward to the collaborations manifesting for the future. I still plan on summertime in northern Michigan, and enjoying all four seasons in the six months of June through December.
What happens to the studio and the building? I’m open. I have decided the “when” and the Universe will take care of the “how”. I trust that only the best will unfold for a win-win situation. I own the building. I would consider renting or selling, selling the business, creating a yoga co-op, being open seasonally and any combination thereof. I don’t have the answers now, I am considering all ideas and open to negotiations. I will remain in the question until clear answers reveal themselves.
Thank you for your continued patience and grace with my process.
I love our community dearly.
Infinite gratitude,
Tiffany 🧜‍♀️💌✨

We’re very grateful to be gathering this summer in Petoskey, MI, for a day of learning in community hosted by the amazing folks at .

On July 19, 2026, join Haven School of Yoga founder Jessie Horness, MA, LPC, E-RYT 200, for Teaching from Presence: Trauma-Supportive Yoga Foundations, a full-day seminar exploring what it means to teach yoga in ways that are genuinely trauma-supportive, relational, and rooted in the tradition itself.

This is a space for yoga teachers who want to deepen how they teach, not only through technique, but through a more nuanced understanding of presence, attention, and relational responsibility in the classroom.

We’ll begin the first half of the day with the foundations of trauma-supportive teaching. Rather than layering Western psychological frameworks onto yoga, we take a decolonized approach grounded in the philosophy, practice, and language of yoga itself. From there, we’ll explore trauma recovery as a process and begin developing practical ways to integrate trauma-supportive principles directly into your teaching.

In the second half of the day, we turn toward the deeper self-development work required to hold trauma-supportive space with integrity. We’ll explore how power operates within teacher–student relationships, why awareness of these dynamics matters, and how teachers can cultivate environments rooted in trust, consent, and relational safety.

Participants will leave with both practical tools and deeper insight into the inner work that trauma-supportive teaching requires.

Teachers are welcome to join the full 6-hour seminar (6 Yoga Alliance CEUs) or attend a half-day foundational session (2.5 CEUs). Economic justice pricing is available for both options.

✨💌 A love note to all of the matriarchal figures who nurtured us along the way. Their love continues to inspire us to remember that we belong to each other. It takes a village after all.

✨💌 If your mom is not a nice person, we understand. If your path to motherhood has been difficult, we see you. Maybe you're in mourning today? That's okay. Celebrate how you feel called and be gentle with yourself if today is hard for you.
