Our Mission
At Virge Yoga, we have curated a vibrant house of wellness where all individuals are welcome to connect with each other as they explore yoga, and discover growth towards their strongest self. We harness the power of movement, alignment, and mind-body connection, empowering balanced lives rooted in the pillars of health and wellness.
Our Vision
Virge Yoga strives to become the heartbeat of a pulsating community, where the transformative power of yoga enriches both individuals, and the larger community. We are committed to strengthening community bonds, empowering well-rounded leaders, and spreading deeply-rooted joy, as we unite people through movement.
Our goal is to nurture an environment where laughter, positivity, and authenticity thrive, cultivating a strong sense of community and personal growth. With intention, we flow together and enrich the harmonious symphony of our lives.
Behind the Name
Definition: “Virge” is a unique, made-up word combining “Vi” (latin for “strength”) with the word “surge.”
Together these mean “strong surge.” This word also represents a misspelling of “verge,” meaning “on the verge of something.”
To be on the verge of growth, movement, and powerful transformation.
