About Us

Welcome to
Lipa Yoga Studio!

Our Dear Friends,

Having you read these words brings so much joy to us and the whole yoga community. We cherish that first step you’ve taken toward returning to your self — to your body, breath, and being.

We all begin somewhere — perhaps simply seeking to move again, to rise from our recliners, or to reconnect with a part of us that’s been quietly waiting. The moment you step onto your mat or into a flow of Tai Chi, a seed is planted. Over time, it blossoms — rooting you in balance, strength, and peace.

Founded by Divna, whose decades of teaching and love for movement bridge continents and generations, Lipa Yoga & Tai Chi Studio has grown into a cooperative of teachers and wellness professionals, each bringing their unique gifts to the community. Together, we offer an inclusive space for yoga, Tai Chi, and mindful movement, welcoming all ages while specializing in midlife renewal and lifelong wellness.

We are seeking other professionals to join our community to share their gifts of movement, yoga and wellness!

We are proud to be one of the only studios in La Crosse offering authentic Tai Chi, blending ancient wisdom with modern well-being.

Lipa is part of Driftless Retreats Studios, co-founded by Divna and Emilene, extending beyond the studio walls into global and local retreats, community events, and collaborations that nurture the whole person—mind, body, and soul. We believe that retreating is not about escaping life, but about returning home to it—rested, renewed, and realigned.

Here, in the Historic Rubber Mills District, you’ll find a home for movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection. We would be honored to walk with you on your journey—to grow, breathe, and belong together.
