Rise Yoga aims to create a tranquil, peaceful space for the Wallingford community. A space where upon opening the door one feels as though they just took a big, deep breath. A place to move, exhale, de-stress, and connect with yourself. Rise offers Vinyasa Yoga as well as more gentle forms such as Restorative and Yin and always welcomes all levels of practitioners.
Services
Rise & Flow is our signature Vinyasa Yoga class open to all levels of practitioners. A 60 or 75 minute flow that takes you through a well-rounded sequence moving and breathing at a steady pace. You can expect sun salutations, standing poses, balance poses, and hip and heart openers. Modifications are offered if you need to scale back and options are given to amp it up with a more challenging version of the pose.
I would like to come to my first class at Rise, can I just show up or do I need to sign up for class? We recommend signing up for class before hand. You can do so on our schedule page here. It will prompt you to purchase one of our pricing options. We offer a New Member Special which is 2 Weeks of Unlimited Classes for $29.
Timeliness | Please aim to arrive 10 - 15 minutes before class. If you arrive late and it is within 5 minutes after the start of class you may come in quietly. We highly discourage leaving class early. If you must please let the instructor know and leave before Savasana. Volume and Conversation | We absolutely love that our community connects with each other before class.
There are a multitude of benefits that come with practicing yoga on a weekly basis. Stress and tension relief, joint support, strength building, improvement in mobility and flexibility to name a few. If you are practicing at least once a week our Memberships are the best deal. Not to mention you get awesome perks.

Yesterday was my first time at Rise and my first time trying Yin Yoga. I was greeted by the shop owner and instructor upon my arrival and was shown where to go, set up, and secure my items. The studio is warm and inviting and the class was lovely. I appreciated the use of the sound bowls during the initial mediation and the final savasana. Rise also features products for sale made locally right in their shop which was super cute. I look forward to trying one of their outdoor classes this summer!

The whole team at Rise Yoga is great. It is a wonderful community, there is a variety of classes depending on what you need - restful, challenging and I feel great physically and emotionally every time I leave. COVID definitely posed challenges for in-person classes and they pivoted to online options, outdoor was great over the summer and David's holiday class the other night was a boost could enjoy. Their systems are great too . It is easy to sign up, they have the mindbody app too. I have gone to a lot of yoga classes and they are top notch!

I have been a member of Rise since the opening. Tina and Megan are two individuals full of passion and motivation. The spin and barre classes are intense and take you to a level which I never thought was possible. The results speak volumes and I can’t thank them enough. I never thought getting up at 5am would be so much fun!!!! Thank you to Rise and I would recommend these classes to anyone who is looking to be stronger physically and mentally.

I tried Rise Yoga and I'll be back! Amazing experience, exceptional instructor. I was 75 minutes of incredible peace, exercise and joy and work out. They are so well organized on top of it all. It is easy to sign up for classes, they send out reminders and have a good selection of classes. This is what yoga is meant to be for me.

Great Yoga Studio & Instructors!
I love this place. There are a variety of classes, at accessible times, for all levels. The classes are a perfect combination of mediation/breathing, exercise/stretching, flow and personal self-awareness and growth. All of the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. I like how they teach yoga as well. Sometimes studios will go through moves without focus on proper positioning for poses. These instructors help you through poses by giving instructions and modifications, truly helping all levels participate. Because of their guidance/modifications

Rise Yoga is more than just a studio - once a member you are part of the Rise community! Kelsey the owner is very innovative - always offering lots of workshops, fun events/games and even a retreat. I absolutely love the studio and all it encompasses. I’ve been to other studios and this one is by far the best!
