DAHLIA RISING YOGA

Rooted in light.
Rising in bloom.

Dahlia Rising Yoga is Kat Sorensen and Mindy Tonti: two teachers, two styles, one shared love of the sun-loving, hardy, endlessly varied dahlia.

Why the dahlia

Many colors. Many shapes.
All reaching for the sun.

Friends for more than five years, Kat and Mindy are experienced yoga teachers living on the beautiful Kitsap Peninsula. They share a love of yoga, dogs and dahlias (they’re even both Geminis), so it only made sense for their friendship to grow into a partnership.

Both bring passion and creativity to the mat. Mindy might add a little more heat, while Kat might cool things down a bit. Together, they create a perfect balance of strength and softness, effort and ease.

That balance shapes every Dahlia Rising retreat: time to move and time to rest, shared practice and quiet moments of your own, and a warm, welcoming community where everyone is invited to bloom at their own pace.
