In over three years of business, Zikhara Yoga has Rupertites bending over backwards for their classes. Partners Tobie Wick and Samantha Kasdorf saw the growth curve in personal fitness instruction, and motivated by their passion for yoga, took it upon themselves to help people become fit, limber, and grounded. They began operations in 2014 with some financial assistance from Community Futures. Since then, they have earned a strong following of regular students, and continuously draw in new pupils, whether they be curious first-timers or New Years Resolution gladiators. They have a number of different instructors and classes for people of all skill levels and needs – from athletes looking to improve their range and flexibility, to people seeking to heal their bodies, and those who are simply aiming to improve their happiness. The owners attribute the strong community feeling of Rupert as a big reason they enjoy doing business here and have plans to offer more workshops, one-on-one sessions, and more beginner-friendly courses. It’s not much of a stretch to assume Zikhara will continue to grow.
