Our Vision
Yoga Rouge’s Vision
Meet you at the mat…
Alignment is important for stability and safety; however, at Yoga Rouge, we encourage freedom and full expression in your poses as you progress at your own pace. There is no judging and no ego here — we encourage everyone to learn from one another. Our focus is on group breath, mindfulness, and being truly present in the moment. While Sanskrit is beautiful, all Yoga Rouge classes are taught in western language, as it is easier to process while you are moving from pose to pose.
Consistency with Diversity
Our teaching practices at Yoga Rouge are from the heart – not from a script. We follow a skeleton sequence that provides for a safe building of breath and heart rate leading to the peak of class, known as the Yang phase of class. We then gently bring you back down to deep stretching on the floor, know as the Yin phase of class. We give responsive instruction by watching, listening, and feeling the energy of the room during each class. This is where diversity comes in. Each instructor brings their own style and personality to their class. They are reading the room and calling to what they see and feel in each class. Yoga Rouge teachers are here to guide your practice, assist and enhance. Our classes are a moving, flowing, breathing meditation, while also an intense aerobic muscle-building workout. All levels and all people are welcome in all classes. We offer skilled instruction for all levels. If intense is not for you, we offer modifications. Workshops and private lessons are available at Yoga Rouge for beginners and fundamentals.
What sets us apart - ALL of our instructors are 200+ Registered Yoga Instructors with Yoga Alliance. We are the ONLY studio in Baton Rouge with premiere radiant heat panels (far better than infrared or a drying out H-Vac heater) , a steam system (to help you breathe better and detoxify), and special floors (to protect your bones, muscles and joints). We genuinely care about you, your body and your experience.
Environment and Atmosphere are important to us.
Yoga Rouge hot classes are 90-98 degrees. We use state of the art radiant heat panels, which not only feel great on your skin, but also increase flexibility and circulation, provide pain relief for sore muscles or aching joints, and help you sweat more, which aids in detoxifying. We also use an elite steam and humidifying system to keep the air moist and easier to breathe. Our new special yoga floors will absorb impact as well as noise, making practice easier on your bones and joints. Our 360 oscillating fans provide just the right amount of air circulation. Our cool scented cloths at the end of class are the perfect finish to your practice experience.
Yoga Rouge is a friendly, clean, minimal studio. Feeling completely comfortable is important to us and to your yoga journey.
