Open Space Alaska

Open Space is a community yoga and movement studio in Anchorage, Alaska, with drop-in yoga, dance, meditation and bodywork. It also hosts outside facilitators for workshops, sound baths and seasonal retreats.

A recurring evening at the studio is a cacao ceremony followed by ecstatic dance, led by Svia Rothstein with guest DJs. It opens with a ceremonial cacao drink, guided breathwork and meditation, then moves into free-form dance without talking or touch, and ends with a shared snack and a circle. Drinking the cacao is optional.

The studio says it is open to all levels. It also rents its room by the hour for other gatherings.
