Yoga studio
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Simply put, this experience has been life changing. I came to this yoga teacher training with the assumption that I was going to learn how to teach an asana practice, but what I am leaving with cannot possibly be put into words. What I can say is it was pure bliss. I now have a much deeper spiritual...

Jujitsu school
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ From the moment I walked into the door to inquire about the kids class, I knew I was in the right place. The instructors were able to naturally bond with my son right away.

Chabad of Humboldt
Synagogue
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Arcata is a challenging location to have a Chabad House due to the extreme diversity or lack of Jewish observance in Humboldt County.
