About Us

UPLIFT was founded 24 years ago when Carrie Bain, our fearless, compassionate leader opened the doors of Bikram Yoga Elk Grove just four days after 9/11.

In a time of tragedy, she was determined to shine a light and create a community for people to heal.

We were one of the original hot yoga studios in Northern California.

We've evolved over time, especially in the last DECADE!

In October, 2018 - we moved into our brand new, state of the art facility and officially rebranded to UPLIFT! At that time, we also added infrared heat to our classes and diversified our offerings!

In 2023, Carrie teamed up with David Kinney and the dynamic duo, Mike & JoJo Daley, forming the epic UPLIFT ownership dream team!

We now offer over 50 classes per week and 7 different class styles; including hot Pilates, hot yoga, Yin yoga, weight and kettlebell classes and so much more!

We've served over 24,000 students to date, created more community events and are currently expanding to corporate team building experiences!

Since our humble beginnings, we've grown into a beautiful, thriving community of like-minded souls determined to make positive ripples in the world.
