THE HISTORY OF OUR YOGA

Kara Rogers, owner and founder of The Hive, took over this yoga space in 2018 from Susan Bordenkircher who operated the studio as Pneuma Yoga Movement Studio. Kara rebranded the facility in November of 2019, creating The Yoga Hive Studio.

The Yoga Hive Studio experienced significant success with the addition of Hot Yoga, Warm Yoga, Yin Yoga, as well as a talented team of new teachers. In March of 2020, The Yoga Hive Studio experienced the challenges of COVID-19. During the state wide mandatory shutdown, the studio pivoted, launched a Facebook group and continued to offer yoga classes to students at home. After Alabama allowed for gyms and fitness facilities to reopen, The Yoga Hive Studio operated at less than 50% traditional membership. In an effort to continue to service its yoga community, Kara pivoted to create a community built for thriving during the pandemic and post pandemic by serving the needs and talents within the Hive. Kara says, “I believe that if you help people get to where they want to be in life, your path will unfold harmoniously.”

Yoga teacher Michelle Taylor who came up with the name The Yoga Hive says, “The first thing you notice when you walk into a Hive is the darkness.” You cannot have light without darkness.” Through all the challenges and changes, the Hive is finding its light. Honey bees have come to the Hive and honey is dripping from the walls! “Such honey as this was worth the sting.”

In the fall of 2022, the Hive added Reformer Pilates to its modalities of services and in February of 2024, celebrated the opening of its boutique Reformer Pilates studio in Old Towne Daphne.
