The Durga Studio is an ever-growing community of beautiful people who come together to cherish to the world around them, to hold space for each other’s sacred journeys, and to connect to their own divine spirit within.
Our philosophy is rooted in tantra ~ a celebration of the miracle that is in each breath, in each moment, in each and every one of us. Our bodies, our breath, and our senses are ways we have been given to arrive at a place of peace, of acute awareness and presence of being.
Our Mother-Earth and Divine Feminine classes include philosophy, mythology, yoga, Goddess Empowerment classes, breath work, music, mantra, poetry, literature, ritual, ceremony, altar-building, and meditations. We welcome both men and women of all levels; whether you are seeking a spiritual practice and community, or are a life-long practitioner, we invite you to be right where you are, to explore the possibilities, to honor your limitations, to celebrate YOU in all ways.
We also offer many opportunities that bring us into Presence. Drum circles, live music classes, meditation, kirtan, Red Tents, fire ceremonies, altar-building, Goddess Training, nature hikes, and temple outings are amongst some events offered throughout the year. Try a taste ~ or simply dive in ~ to all of these wonderful spiritual experiences!
"For the ten years I've known her, as a student, as a collaborator, and as a friend, The Durga Studio's Jen Sundeen always over-delivers, enriching every interaction with her knowledge, expertise, curiosity and unwavering passion and energy. To call hers a "yoga class" is like calling the Bible a "book." The Goddess Pilgrimages are true journeys of wonder, history, self-discovery and appreciation of the feminine divine within. To each endeavor, Jen invests her heart and soul, leaving the participant forever changed and inspired."

"The Durga Studio's Jen Sundeen is a gifted yoga teacher who brings to her teaching brilliant storytelling, mythology, history, and a balanced dose of spirituality and mysticism. Add to that a never-ending amount of creativity, energy, and sense of adventure, topped with a passion for human rights, especially for women and children. Added together this is a recipe for unparalleled journeys that will enlighten, enrich, and nourish the soul."

The Durga Studio is a reflection of devotion to Mother Earth and the Divine Feminine, and is in truth a Goddess Temple without walls. The business model is circular, one of inclusion rather than hierarchy, and supports the idea that we all hold inside of us an inner healer and artist, and to that end welcomes the gifts our community has to offer. The more we embrace each other, the wider our circle of Love will grow.
The Durga Studio is dedicated to imparting its yogic philosophy to everyone: To find connections with all people, to cherish the earth, to live healthy lifestyles, to find beauty in the everyday moments, to rediscover the rhythms of the universe, to find the divine being that resides in all of us, and to shine who we truly are.
