Studio 34: Yoga | Healing | Arts is a new 5,000-square-foot healing and creative arts space in vibrant, diverse West Philadelphia. We offer yoga, pilates, healing, creative arts, and community programs, offering an experience and service unlike any other in the Philadelphia area.

We offer low-cost spaces for rent, including four wellness rooms, two studios (1,700 and 700 square feet), a conference room, and a community space with a stage. Looking for a space to hold your event? Email us.

Studio 34 serves as a hub, both online and onsite, for healing, art and wellness information. We want people to be well — period. We collaborate with other healing and arts organizations, including practitioners of eastern and western medicine, to host workshops in several healing arts, music and creative arts events, support groups, and community meetings.

  Run by Morgan Andrews and Kate Wand, Theater of the Oppressed is a workshop on theater games for actors and non-actors that reveal and explore dynamics of oppression, shake us from our usual routines and help us rehearse our performances in everyday life. Unlike in traditional dramatic forms that divide spectator and actor, everyone participates in these theatrics. Useful for performers, teachers, organizers, activists and anyone who works with groups. In this half-day workshop, we will play more than 30 games and look for ways to use them in everyday work. Pre-register ($10-$20 sliding scale) by calling (215) 730-0982 or email morganfitzp@gmail.com.
