Roots Helsinki

Our story

The story of ROOTS began in 2016 in Kallio. The idea was to create a place where everyone can spend time feeling grounded and rooted. Lie down on the yoga mat or sit down and enjoy breakfast. When we wish the world would calm down, we have to start with ourselves.

Our vision is a genuine, responsible and vibrant life. We want to encourage everyone to take care of themselves.

For us, life is all about small moments and nurturing them.

Initially, ROOTS combined yoga with a vegan café. Nowadays, we have grown into more studios and into an online studio.

There have been many groundbreaking moments over the years. We have been learning, rebuilding and rising. There is a wonderful group of people behind ROOTS: full-time teachers, wellness professionals, artists, authors, entrepreneurs, students, parents and grandparents.

Manifesto

For you dear friend,

Here, you get to be yourself. To feel, to move, to rest, to pause, to challenge. To explore your inner world and be inspired by the world around you.

Let’s build community. Let’s be present for one another. Beyond gender, age, background, skin color or ways of being.

Let’s slow down. Let’s take the time and the space to be silent and still, and enjoy solitude. And let’s give that to others as well.

The human body is designed to move. Push up, rotate, walk, run, roll your shoulders back. Everything counts.

Yoga is wherever you are. At home, at work, on the street, at the breakfast table, on the mat. In every breath.

There isn’t always time for a full practice, but there is always time to breathe in. And to breathe out. To release the jaw, to soften the shoulders.

Welcome to take care of yourself.
