Healing Elements

The first time I came in here for a massage, I loved it. Healing Elements has a café, yoga studio and healing room. They also serve gluten free baked goods. They have pour over coffees, espresso drinks, tea, bulk herbs, Joia soda and kombucha.
The massage I got from Bruce was one of the best I’ve ever had. The yoga is incredible and I actually keep going back for more.
More of everything and the atmosphere and energy is so good. Just really peaceful and positive! A great place for healing, indeed!
I remember always wanting to stop in here because I just liked the way it looked from the outside. Since stepping foot inside, it’s just gotten more incredible and I’ll always keep going back for some of those Healing Elements!

Love the atmosphere, merchandise, and most of all, the massages! I have had great massages by four different people, but Elise is my favorite! She has a special gift for getting out the knots.

Cute shop, lots to offer. Parking on street mostly, but on a corner so I never had a problem. I’m not so fond about the psychic who works out of there occasionally, tried that a couple of times, but found her to be really off track somehow from a couple experiences, answers were definitely off, and a friend said so also, but will go back for the other things the place has to offer.

My friend lives by here, and comes here for yoga. It is the cutest little place, with glass containers filled with tea leaves, along with shelves of essential oils. There are sliding barn doors that open into a very small, but cozy, yoga studio. They only accept 5 students max, which makes sense, since that is all the room will hold. There was Kelly and I, a gal with a hurt shoulder, and a mother and her 9 year old son. This duo was about the cutest thing ever. Right before class he said, «I’m so excited, mom!» I was behind them, so I watched the mom smile so happily over at him several times during class. It was a non-​heated vinyasa flow, which, although I am used to the heat, still proved to be challenging at times. We did lots of crescent lunges, vinyasas, and airplane poses. I really found myself able to concentrate on the breath. which made for a very relaxing class. After class we each got a mini shoulder massage, and could smell the scent of one of the essential oils from the front room. All in all, very wonderful experience. It has lead me to broaden my yogi experience, and give all the Mpls yoga studios a try!

Healing Elements is a great little shop that opened up next to the Mother Earth Gardens in Northeast. The corner of Lowry and Stinson is now one of the most grounded spots (literally and figuratively) in all of the Twin Cities. The yoga classes are nice (see some of the other reviews for more on those, I agree with them completely), so I’ll focus more on the more retail-​oriented aspects of the store.
Healing Elements offers a range of herbal and traditional teas, as well as a variety of espresso drinks. You can get your tea the old-​fashioned way, or you can fancy it up and give your tea a dose of steam and treat yourself to a mate or rooibos latte made with organic milk or your preferred alternative. I’ve had several drinks there now and they are all quite delicious. There is also a small selection of pre-​made drinks and mineral waters available if you would prefer something on the cooler side. The owner, Samantha, also has a connection with the Sift Bakery for a selection of gluten-​and-​dairy-​free, locally-​made treats that are mouth-​wateringly excellent. I had no qualms letting my toddler sneak some of my pear tart while I enjoyed my nicely spicy and not overly-​sweet chai latte. I also recommend the maple rooibos latte.
Healing Elements also offers a variety of massage therapy services, other alternative medicine options and a host of essential oils and bulk herbs. This is truly a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

Yoga at Healing Elements is incredibly peaceful! The room is small and cozy. It’ll only fit 4 – 5 yogis comfortably. There are ample mirrors, calming music, a fake fireplace and all the props you could ever need. Typically, real candles light the class. I like the intimacy of this studio. I always leave feeling very refreshed. I also love that they have a lot of times in which classes are offered so I can always find something to fit my schedule. I’m not a huge fan of having to sign up for classes in advance and late notice cancellation penalties but they have to have those policies due to the studio size.

What a wonderful gem to find on my vaca!
Came back to my Midwest roots for a reunion, & needed yoga after a long day of (red eye) travel the day before.
Lucky for me, Healing Elements was only about 10 mins down the road from where I was staying, so thought I’d give it a try.
I do yoga at my local studio in CA 3x a week (& sometimes at home too), so I love & am well familiar with Vinyasa flow. Lauren was a great yogi/​leader — it was just myself & one other person at our afternoon class, held in a lovely little studio right off the main area which is calm, aesthetically pleasing, & peace-​inducing. It was a very personalized yoga experience, and that made it even more wonderful! The movements, poses, customization, rhythm were just what I needed to get the kinks out. Even Lauren’s choices of contemporary music were great.
In the shop, there are some wonderful products & teas– Megan was helpful & personable. I kinda wished I was staying in that area longer, I def would have gone again!
Highly recommend them!

I tried Healing Elements tonight for Hatha Yoga and I really liked it. I would describe it as Happy Hippy yoga rather than Melt Your Face Off in a Hot Room yoga — which was exactly what I wanted.
They have Vinyasa Flow classes (mostly during the day), but I chose this Wednesday night class specifically because it touted itself as good for all levels, gentle yoga. The class was as described, and I felt challenged without getting overwhelmed. Julie was great about offering modification on poses for both myself and the other class participant, but she also let me self pace which I appreciate. I love yoga, but I’m not great at it. Sometimes in a class with multiple levels, I feel guilty or awkward if the instructor «dumbs it down» too much in attempt to be considerate. I don’t want to hold back anyone else’s practice! Julie definitely didn’t make me feel that way.
She created a really safe, welcoming environment. I’m so very glad to have them close to home in Northeast Minneapolis. I’m going to go back tomorrow night for Yin Yoga and maybe I’ll check out their massages sometime, too!
If I had one complaint, it would be that they sell some kind of yoga chocolate in the lobby. I don’t need to see that when I’m putting on my shoes! Evil temptation. :-)
NOTE: To get the class descriptions, you have through their website (
) to the Mind Body website (
) as if you were going to register for a class. From there, you can select a class off their calendar to see what it’s all about. It’s a little roundabout, but once you figure it out it works fine.
