The studio’s approach is deeply personal and community-driven, born from founder Clarissa Cota’s journey of healing a back injury through yoga, which evolved into a broader mission to reclaim yoga as a tool for ancestral restoration, emotional processing, and belonging. My Comunidad was founded to address the exclusivity and lack of representation common in traditional yoga spaces, creating a sanctuary where people raised between worlds, across cultures, languages, and identities, can belong exactly as they are. The studio’s programs are intentionally designed to be accessible to all, regardless of income, ability, or background, and it operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with a strong focus on community outreach and support.

Located on Tweedy Boulevard, the studio sits just a short walk from the Leland R. Weaver Library and Clinica Medina, with San Miguel Avenue Elementary School and the public artwork Untitled nearby.
