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.

    "This is hands-down my favorite yoga studio in the Twin Cities. Knowledgeable & talented instructors, accessible & engaged leadership, stunningly gorgeous studio and hot room, and an incredible feeling of community. I’ve never experienced another studio in my 20+ years of doing yoga with this level of excellence, beauty, and care."

    "Having practiced yoga all over the world, I have to say that MOV yoga is the best. The most important thing for me is the quality of the yoga instruction, and every teacher I have encountered at MOV has been outstanding. What sets them apart is their attention to detail in their instruction. Oh, and the food at MOV Market next door is outstanding. MOV gets my highest recommendation."

    “They nail the basics such as having a clean and beautiful studio and a healthy variety of classes/teaches/times, but it is the details that truly make this studio such a gem. The soft yoga floor; the circles we set on the floor if we'd like hands-on assist; the fact that I can book spot in advance of class; the way each yoga teacher truly greets you when you check-in, looks you in the eye and says "hello" and then makes themselves available after class for cold tea and conversation.”

    "Mov Hot Yoga studio is by far the best yoga I have experienced to date. The classes, instructors, community and overall vibe/aesthetic truly provides an energy that is unlike anything I’ve experienced. Every time I leave class, I leave feeling refreshed, strong, empowered, and clearer, ready to take on the day! I cannot tell you how much this space means to me!! THANK YOU MOV!! <3"

    "My favorite yoga studio, and I have been to a lot. Möv is the real deal. The vibe is open, supportive, curious. They have a little lounge area outside the hot room, and after class students gather there to chat, often joined by the teacher - refreshing herbal tea is served(!) They have an adjoining cafe which has fresh delicious salads, smoothies, wraps. I love that Möv observes a quiet hot room. Möv is part of the larger community, too: they organize volunteer opportunities for students at food shelves etc. Oh and the yoga and barre classes: chef’s kiss."

    "I absolutely adore MOV hot yoga. Stepping into the hot room feels like entering a soothing and rejuvenating sanctuary. I appreciate the diverse teaching styles and how each class is unified by a common theme. Whenever I've had membership or guest-related issues, the support team has always responded promptly. MOV hot yoga is essential for me, especially during the winter months—it's more than just a practice, it's a necessity."

    "MOV YOGA is HOME. I love this studio. The hot room is unbeatable in the Winter and the staff is welcoming and helpful. This space has been given new life and community. Beautiful and clean hot room, locker rooms, showers and a space to have tea after class. I am grateful this safe space is here to practice and recommend it to new and senior yogis."

    "Super nice people and very accommodating. I went to hot yoga once here, and was immediately hooked. It's a huge part of my week now. They have barre as well which I've now begun attending. And the cafe has great food/smoothies."

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.
