The Breathing Tree is a non-profit yoga and wellness studio in the heart of Canton, Illinois.

We believe yoga and meditation are excellent ways to improve the mind, body, and soul at once.  With emphasis on breathing techniques and meditation, The Breathing Tree provides thoughtful yoga and meditation instruction to cultivate physical and mental well-being in a safe, nurturing space. We strive to ignite happiness and health within our community by making our services accessible to all through our donation-based classes, encouraging clients to pay what they can.

Corporate sponsorships are available to help promote community-based classes and special trainings. Funds support yoga and meditation and classes in the studio and out in the community, e.g., in the local schools. Contact the Studio Manager at thebreathingtreeinc@gmail.com for more information on how you can help spread the benefits of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness in the community.
