Floyd Yoga Collective

Welcome to the Floyd Yoga Collective!

Vision: To cultivate a thriving, inclusive, and accessible wellness culture in Floyd through yoga, movement, and holistic healing practices — connecting community, supporting teachers, and honoring diverse traditions.

Mission: To offer a shared calendar of healing and movement classes in various beautiful and accessible locations in Floyd, Virginia building a collective brand and community, with the long-term vision of establishing a dedicated healing arts center.

We seek to expand access to yoga, movement, and holistic healing in the town of Floyd, Virginia while creating sustainable opportunities for local teachers, healers, and artists to share their gifts.

Currently, we are a group of teachers and community supporters who are coming together in support of our community through ongoing classes and the eventual dream of having a brick and mortar space in town.

Our dream is that our future studio will feature a welcoming yoga/dance/movement/workshop space, a private healing room, and a cozy retail lounge — all rooted in connection, inclusion, and community care.
