Heart and Hara Studio

Who is Heart and Hara Studio? 

Amber Hunt is the owner and primary practitioner at the Studio. She contracts usage of the space to local teachers and therapists for additional opportunities to learn, grow and be. Each teacher and therapist are independent contractors and maintain their own schedules, rates and policies. Please contact them directly with questions regarding their work or session scheduling.Amber owns both the business and the building of Heart and Hara Studio. 

Where are you located?

Right in downtown Pine River. 227 Barclay Avenue. This, however, is not a mailing address. 

Why are you never open? 

Oh, we are, just during the times when we have scheduled sessions and classes. The Studio is not a store or spa, with set hours of operation. Because of this we do not accept walk-in appointments, as the therapists are only there during privately scheduled appointments. If you see us inside, we are working!  

I want to teach a class at your Studio!

That's great! First know that I uphold very high standards when it comes to professional offerings at the Studio. This is to ensure that everything offered in my Studio comes from a teacher/therapist with a solid background in both training and teaching experience. For instance. I will only have yoga teachers with 200+ hours of Yoga Alliance approved yoga training teach yoga at my Studio. I know the standards upheld in Yoga Alliance approved classes and can trust that the teachers will know what and what not to do to keep everyone safe and healthy. I myself have 400+ hours of yogic training and 8 years of teaching experience. I also invite people to who are also taking care of themselves. If you are only teaching and never take any classes or personal wellness time for yourself, I see a disconnection from what you're trying to teach others to do and what you're actually living. I prefer to work with people who walk their talk. So, with this in mind, if you want to offer a class, please contact me at amberhunt@heartandharastudio.com or call 218-587-9642 and let's see what we can do. 

Ummm....what is a Hara?

Hara is the Japanese word for abdomen. In eastern cultures they see the abdominal area as the seat or center of the soul or energy body consciousness. Hara is pronounced har as in harp ending with an lovely ah sound. Har-ah. Get to know the seat of your soul at Heart and Hara Studio, a (well, the only) healing arts studio located in Pine River, MN, offering Hatha and Kundalini Yoga, Massage and Energy Therapies and a plethora of wellness wisdom truly offered from the hearts and haras of the teachers and therapists at the Studio. Be You, Be Whole, Be Happy, BE. Namaste- Amber

I am new to yoga- do you hold a beginner's class?

At this time, Quinn offersr the first class free to new students to just try out yoga and see how it feels. Both Kara and Amber offer a single class drop-in rate of only $10. All the yoga teachers are able to help new and more advanced levels of experience deepen into the poses in a way that's suitable for all body types, from tall to small, thick to thin, more to less flexible. We take an individualized approach to helping each students experience a class that's comfortable and dynamic to their level. 

How to I get information about your classes and sessions?

The front entryway is ALWAYS OPEN, filled with business cards, brochures, flyers and additional community information. The inner entryway door is however locked. Two other ways to keep informed about Studio events and offering is to join our mailing list and befriend us on Facebook. We are a modern community and the Studio stays connected through modern media. 

From Amber- I own the Studio but each individual teacher and therapist contract use of the space. They basically run their own business out of the Studio. So no, I am not hiring. 

What is a Circle (in reference to Amber's Gatherings)?

A circle is a gathering were like-minded people come together to explore a topic of conversation, share an experience or simply just enjoy being with kindred souls.  If created and held with respect for all participants, the circle holds safety, continuity, and creativity that allows for an individual to express and explore their many facets of being. Amber is an experienced circle facilitator and knows how to create and keep sacred space.
