Our Mission + Name
The choice of the word CENTER rings true for our community because it represents a physical action and an embodied feeling and a sense of place. It is the action of using body and breath to come to your true center, the feeling of stillness and peace and the place from which those actions and feelings are cultivated. All of this make a simple word like CENTER the ideal choice to fully embody our mission.
Our hope is that CENTER Yoga + Wellness is a place you come home to, an action you take while you're here, and an essence you keep with you as you make your way through the world.
Our Beginnings
CENTER Yoga + Wellness (formerly pradipikaYOGA) was founded by yoga teacher and dietitian Jennifer Dahlgren in 2012. She took a gamble and signed a lease on a small space on the shoreline to see if she could help cultivate a vibrant yoga community. Teaching after a long day working with her patients at Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center was a welcome transition to switch gears, take a pause, and provide a space for deep healing and relaxation to all who walked through the doors. Whether it was cranking up the heat in a vigorous power class or winding down in a slow, lower back soothing foundations flow, Jennifer began to connect like minded practitioners and teachers until bursting at the seams in the first studio. In 2015, the studio was relocated to a larger space in Clinton, CT to support the expanding community. Now with a gorgeous 1000 square foot studio in Clinton and a brand-new location in Guilford, we are able to offer a retail area with cozy clothes, gear and post-yoga refreshments. CENTER now hosts acclaimed teachers and authors, YogaWorks teacher trainings, specialized workshops and all-inclusive yoga vacations. From its foundation to its future CENTER Yoga + Wellness aims to be an accessible, community-driven yoga studio with an offering for everyone.
