Founding Story
REWILD YOGA was born from frustration with scripted, stuffy, and fluffy yoga. Founder Steve Kocsis wanted something down to earth and light — a space that felt like nature, not a franchise. The name says it all: REWILD means return to your natural state. Exposed wood, limewash walls, and living plants followed that same truth.
Our Vision
To be Columbus's most grounded and connected yoga studio — where people come to get out of their heads and back into their bodies. Not scripted, but structured. Consistent but unpredictable. A real, living community that grows wildly and coherently.
Our Mission
To bring people out of their heads and back into their bodies. Through heated power yoga, we cultivate body awareness, clear the mind, and create leaders who move through life with groundedness and the freedom of their natural state.
EMPOWERING YOU TO
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY
Our practice is less about accomplishing a pose. its more about transforming. when you shift your mind from being fixed or “tamed’ on a result, to being open “untamed” to possibilities your awareness expands and receive a rush of energy. Opportunities that you didn’t notice before start to open. On our mat and within the pose there are endless possibilities which create new ways of relating.
UNTAME YOURSELF
We encourage a communal breath, clearing our minds, so we can move with clarity and ease and an openness that discovery new areas within the body.
CONFRONT
Let go of mental resistance, create physical resistance. Through body awareness use your joints and bones as guides to align your body creating a solid and smooth structure to move from.
RETURN TO NATURAL STATE
Balance the previous two – order and chaos to create flow and pure rhythm, so your practice and (life) becomes a dance – playful and fun.
THIS MATTERS TO US
As REWILD celebrates it’s 5th anniversary, we wanted to capture the story of how it all started and the impact this studio has had on our local community.
OUR PRACTICE IS ATHLETIC & CREATIVE
Everyone’s an athlete. And everyone’s an artist. Our practice will bring out your inner athlete and your inner artist – offering you tools for functional and effective movements like an athlete and tools for mental space – so you can create like an artist.
Our heated power yoga is simple, not easy. Accessible to everybody. We build heat, so we can remember to be cool. The practice is athletic and spiritual.
OUR STUDIO
The REWILD studio merges natural elements with contemporary design, featuring reclaimed barn wood beams, and lush green vines against lime-washed walls.
Infrared heating and a cutting-edge air system create a fresh, clean warmth, with room temperatures of 89-95 degrees.
SKULL NOTES
A flurry of different yoga perspectives from owner Steve that mean nothing. But you should read so you learn about nothing.
