About Rooted

Not just yoga
While yoga will always be at our core, we know that "The Path" is multi-layered!
To support you in maintaining health, peace, & happiness, we offer services like meditation, sound baths, mindfulness, philosophy circles, dharma talks, and more.
A third space and meaningful relationships
With a beautiful 660 square foot community lounge, find space before/after classes to connect with others on your wellness journey. Or just come hang out for a couple hours to work or catch a DJ set (work from Rooted Fridays anyone?). This space is intentionally made to be a refuge for people and to deepen their connections with others.
Rooted free events
If we want to build community, we need reasons to come together, right? Rooted regularly organizes run clubs, book clubs, and other events in & outside of our physical space. We also welcome YOUR ideas for fun, rejuvenation, and learning. And oh yeah, did we mention most of these events are free of charge?
Snacks, drinks, & food galore
Along with a fridge and shelves of food and drinks, we always provide complimentary tea and water. Also, since this space should feel like home away from home - feel free to bring in outside food as long as we can keep the place tidy!
We are here for the whole you – we want to help you nurture your holistic mental, physical, and spiritual health, and know that all these parts of us are interconnected.
We value community in and outside these walls – Third spaces are dying, let’s revive them. Catch us inside Rooted’s studio or outside our walls at a run club, sharing a bite at Campo Taco next door, or organizing a trash cleanup day at Dix Park. We make space and time for each other and the community we belong to.
Not all offerings need to be very hot – hot yoga isn’t the only way to practice. Our room temperature and warm classes give you a chance to slow down, look inwards, and go deep into your body/spirit.
Accessibility in services and prices – wellness in the West often feels intimidating or exclusive. Rooted is not made to feel cliquey, out of reach, or weirdly expensive.
Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, and we foster our community so that everyone can benefit, and everyone can find spaces made for them.
Strong mindfulness/philosophy integration – modern yoga culture can feel detached from its roots. It was not invented to be some type of commodity, or only as a workout. We believe there are gems in the original lessons of yoga & mindfulness, and we help re-package these teachings for your needs today.

Our Philosophy
Rooted is a third space for healing, growth, and community.
It feels like the world gets crazier by the day. We are all seeking a place where we belong -- where we can take a deep breath and sense that "things are alright".

About the owner
TJ Holt is the owner of Rooted Yoga & Wellness. TJ’s journey started soon after college with a daily meditation and mindfulness practice that eased many of his internal struggles such as anxiety, anger, and the usual existential dread. Since then, he’s been deepening his practice and sharing it with others. He and his wife Ana have lived in Raleigh for 8 years (and San Francisco for 3 years) after meeting each other at UNC Chapel Hill.
More people need access to these teachings - more people from all types of backgrounds and demographics. TJ is excited to help spread the fruits of these practices with the help of the Butterfly Effect – even a small number of conscious individuals in a community can create massive waves! He is excited to pursue this mission every day at Rooted.
