IMPORTANT UPDATE
Phase 1 COVID studio protocols
With the city of New Orleans moving back into a modified phase 1 on COVID response, we have further limited the class maximums. Please be sure to register early for any in-person class (indoor or outdoor) since we will cease drop-in registrations until we move out of phase 1.

Yoga
The world can be so loud and hectic, but through regular yoga practice you can align and calm your mind, body and spirit. UpLIFT Nola teaches a variety of yoga forms in a non-dogmatic manner that honors and welcomes everyone. From vinyasa, restorative, and yin to hatha and special courses for yoga beginners and kids, we hope you find a practice that meets your needs.
Meditation
Utilizing active yoga postures, breathing techniques and centering methods, our meditation class helps build greater self-awareness and impulse control while allowing students to better manage stress and anxiety. UpLIFT Nola offers a regular weekly group practice as well as specialized training workshops for educators and those working in school settings.
Art
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." -- Picasso
Remember all the hours you spent as a child coloring and letting your imagination go wild? It's never too late to bring back that feeling with our weekly art classes. Using a non-toxic oil painting method, Peggy (who reclaimed her own passion for art after retiring) leads students through a weekly 2-hour class.
