A calm, welcoming yoga and pilates studio in Denver where small classes and kind teachers help you feel at home on the mat, whether it's your first class or your five hundredth.
Slow or strong, warm or cool, mat or reformer. Every class is taught with care, and every body is welcome.
Yoga classes cap at 14 and reformer at 8, so your teacher knows your name and your knees.
Every pose comes with options. Beginners, returners, and longtime practitioners share the same room happily.
Try any class on the schedule for $15. If it feels like home, your intro credits toward your first month.
Two practice rooms: one gently heated for a deeper melt, one non-heated for a cool, easy breath.
Maren opened Root & Rise because she wanted a studio where nobody feels like the new kid. After a decade of teaching in big-box gyms, she built the opposite: soft light, small classes, and teachers who remember what brought you in.
She leads our Beginners Series and trains every teacher on staff, so the warmth you feel in one class follows you through the whole schedule.
"I walked in never having done a single pose and never once felt judged. The Beginners Series changed my whole relationship with my body."
"The reformer classes are tiny, so it feels like a semi-private every time. My back has never been happier."
"Sunday slow flow in the warm room is my weekly reset. Calm, candlelit, and the teachers actually remember your name."
Pick any class on the schedule, roll out a mat, and see how it feels. If you love it, your $15 credits toward your first month. No pressure, ever.
