Get to know the people and the purpose behind MÖV
To put it simply, we’re a hot yoga
and barre studio located in Minneapolis’ beloved uptown neighborhood.
But our true mission is about more than just connecting postures – it’s about helping anyone who walks through our door feel a profound sense of connectedness and belonging.

Welcome to MÖV
We created this space with you in mind.
You’ll feel it in our class formats, which have a little something for everyone, and in your interactions with our very human studio team, who make it a point to remember your name. You’ll notice it in the cozy studio details, like our fully-stocked and spacious locker rooms, and the complimentary tea offered after class in our studio “living room.”
Because we want to cultivate a space that feels welcoming, approachable, and the opposite of transactional. A place where you can bask in that salty, sweaty post-class feeling among a like-minded community. And a place where you can explore your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical practice at your own pace, without judgment or competition. That’s what the MÖVment is all about.

The faces of
our founders
Meet Steph, Steve, Latricia, and Michelle, aka the humans who work day in and day out to make our community so special.
They were a little shy about showing up here, but we wanted to make sure they got the credit they deserve for all their hard work behind the scenes. Each one of them has a personal connection to the practice of yoga and mindfulness, which is what inspired them to band together in 2023 to create MÖV as a place for people seeking solace from stress and disconnection. When you see them around the studio tidying up, practicing alongside you, or generally taking care of everything, be sure to say hello. Because you are the reason they do what they do.
Here’s our promise to every member of the MÖV Community:
Authentic interpersonal relationships. Through events, classes, partnerships, and pre- and post-class moments, we create opportunities for people to connect with like-minded individuals and nurture a sense of belonging. You’ll never be met with condescension, or too-cool attitudes – just a welcoming and receptive team that’s here to support every body, no matter their background or experience level.
Flexibility, but not just in the physical sense. To us, it’s about a willingness to evolve, incorporate new ideas, and adjust approaches to better serve our community. We uphold an environment where change is welcome, different perspectives are valued, and the journey toward mindfulness is as unique and varied as each person who walks through our door.
A sense of discovery. We want our community to feel empowered to respectfully explore their physical and mental boundaries without judgment or limitations. As much as we’re here to be guides on that journey, we’re also learning and growing right alongside our students. And your commitment, focus, and dedication inspires a virtuous circle, encouraging our own team to keep learning and evolving.
Find strength in community
Join us for an upcoming volunteer opportunity
One of the ways we stay connected to our community is through our partnership with Simpson Housing, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting and advocating for people experiencing homelessness. Our yoga community shares in Simpson's human-first, connection-first, compassion-first value system, working together since 2014 to weave closer community bonds and foster individual connections
Each month, members of our community volunteer at the shelter to prepare and serve meals to Simpson guests. Simply sign up on the app to cook, serve, and connect for a few hours. This small-group opportunity is an amazing way to take yoga off the mat and commune with fellow students and members of our community.
What to expect
Plan ahead so your first visit flows smoothly
We understand that visiting a new place for the first time can be a little stressful. That’s why we’ve detailed information about the studio experience, what to expect before, during, and after class, and all the little things you might want to know about practicing at MÖV. Because we want you to feel supported every step of the way, starting from the moment you sign up for class.
