Welcome to Summer Soul in Peterborough!
Yoga & Wellness Classes
Our bright, light-filled yoga studio in the heart of Downtown Peterborough calls in your Summer Soul. We value authenticity, transparency, and acceptance to ensure that you feel seen, supported, and uplifted. With inspiration and compassion, we provide education and mindfulness, helping you foster expansion and well-being. At Summer Soul, we are here to help you unravel, discover your true self and embrace a life filled with joy and connection.
Our loft studio invites you to let go of perfection and lean into peace. Your inner harmony matters. Our wide variety of classes will leave you feeling relaxed, empowered and peaceful.
The practice of yoga, as we understand and teach it, is designed to repair, rejuvenate, and strengthen the nervous system and mind-body connection. We believe that transformation and healing happens when we repeatedly show up to the practice. Integrating yoga as a lifestyle brings health, happiness, mindfulness, joy and revitalization to your well-being.
