Yoga Sala and the Questa Farmers Market: Updates

Yoga Sala is a multi-use studio space in Questa where regular movement classes, special events, and workshops are hosted. All classes and activities are built with this intention: to support a culture of health. These include yoga, zumba, kids ballet, music, and meditation. It is located at 2331 Hwy 522, nearly opposite the ArtQuesta Gallery.
These are offered for free or by donation through our nonprofit project, Sala Reach, a program of the local 501 (c) 3, Localogy.


Silent Meditation Mondays, 6:00 pm: in person, no registration required
Seated Moving Meditation: Sheng Zhen, Tuesdays at 8:15 am and Fridays 10:00 am.
Sheng Zhen is an accessible form of moving meditation that cultivates profound inner peace, harmony, and openness of the heart. The beginner forms are done seated, and are wonderful for all people, including elders and those with limited mobility. Taught by Ola Sun.


Kids Ballet Camp: Fridays in July, 1:00-3:00: in person (ages 3 – 10)

Miss Tuesday leads this Introductory “Luna and Me” Dance Camp
Inspired by local author Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw’s book, based on the remarkable true story of Julia Butterfly Hill, a girl who lived in a tree to save a forest. Camp includes dance, literature, choreography, snacks, and crafts. The final class will culminate in a performance with group and student choreography. Older students are welcome, too!


Gentle Yoga, Mondays in July 4:00 pm
Every Monday in July we host a free gentle yoga class. It is guided by Rae Lewis. She is currently studying to become a YTA certified teacher and offers this free weekly class to get to know the community, to aid her development as a yoga instructor, and to share the healing properties of mindful movement with all. Her class can be done seated in a chair or on the floor.

Studious market interns, Ashlynn Rael and Alianna (Booboo) Gonzalez, learn the ropes from Gaea McGahee (center) at the Sunday Questa Farmers Market. Paid internships for teens are an important mission for Questa Farmers Market. QFM offers EBT and Double Up Food Bucks for food and produce at the market and our interns help run this program, as well as care for the gardens, and cook pizzas in the horno!
