Inner Space KC is a unique and inclusive yoga, movement, and healing arts studio located in midtown Kansas City, dedicated to fostering a sober and recovery-supportive environment. As an LGBTQ+ and non-binary owned business, Inner Space KC not only provides traditional and contemporary yoga classes but also serves as a collective space for a diverse range of practitioners, including energy healers, artists, and herbalists, thereby enriching the community through cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The studio is currently seeking funds to renovate its 100-year-old building, enhance its digital presence with a website revamp, and develop a comprehensive teacher training program. These renovations will improve the overall experience for both customers and staff, while the new website and online platform will allow Inner Space KC to reach a broader audience, including those who have moved away or are unable to visit in person.

By investing in these initiatives, Inner Space KC aims to not only elevate its offerings but also empower its community, particularly by uplifting BIPOC voices and creating a shared space for growth and healing. The funds raised will directly support these goals, facilitating a transformative journey for the studio and its members as they continue to cultivate a vibrant and supportive environment for all.
