gypsy rising mission
Gypsy Rising was born from a desire to empower and uplift our community one yoga class at a time. The vision is to harness the power of the practice to make a meaningful impact in Pekin and beyond.
Through a variety of meaningful practices, we hope to help people connect with themselves and awaken to their full possibility. A Gypsy Soul is a person who is full of energy and wants to live life in their own terms. They harness the spirit and rise from within.
At Gypsy Rising, we want you to awaken to your own power and possibility.
