Namaste! My name is Kim~
Since 2016, I've dedicated myself to sharing the practices of yoga, teaching both online and in-person in more than 20 yoga studios in various cities and multiple countries. I've also explored and experienced other interests and career paths I was curious about, including counseling and studio managing; however, all paths have always led me back to yoga, to empowering people through ancient knowledge and practices.
I am ready to progress my life vocation and career of sharing yoga by building a physical space and community in Brentwood, CA.
I aim to share traditional and restorative yoga, of course, and my new offering, sound baths. I also would like to open the space to other teachers and practitioners of healing arts, in collaboration of fostering a space for growth, healing, and empowerment through mindful movement and meditation.

I asked a colleague of mine who has her own gym for advice in opening a space and she said "find the space. Once you find it, and you'll know, everything else falls into place."
I've found the space!!
Entirely new building (i.e. first to occupy this space!) with ample lighting and parking (less stress!), private bathroom and storage. There is enough space for 35 yoga mats and a front check-in/reception area.
The property manager/owner will thankfully cover the flooring and paint; however, I am more aware now of what initial costs I will need on my end to get this studio up and running.
And I need your help...
The funds raised from this campaign will go towards the starting fees of an official yoga business in Brentwood:
- business licenses - conditional use license = $6,000
- property fees - 3 months rent -> monthly rent + utilities = $3,588
- Sound System
- yoga props - 40 mats, 100 yoga blocks, 40 bolsters, 40 yoga straps, 40 yoga blankets, 11 sensory hammocks - >$15,000 (at least)
- Mind Body Online (software-as-a-service platform)
- digital and print marketing - setting up website, email, Instagram/Facebook/Google Ads
- 3 months of instructor wages
- and more.
Thank you for being here and considering donating! Any support is loved and appreciated ^_^ If you are not able to offer financial support at this time, you may support by following the studio on Instagram and Facebook, subscribing to the email list, and sharing this page with others!
Warmest,
Kim
