Small Business Spotlight: How Ahimsa Studio Partnered with CapFront to Keep Growing Within the Queen Anne Community

A Studio Built on More Than Movement

Ahimsa Yoga & Pilates Studio in Queen Anne, Seattle is the kind of place that earns loyalty fast. Founded by Kristina, a woman-owned business rooted in the principle of ahimsa — non-harm — the studio was built around a simple but powerful idea: that people deserve a space where they can genuinely slow down, move well, and feel taken care of.

And by every account, that’s exactly what it delivers.


What Ahimsa Offers

Ahimsa is a full-service yoga and Pilates studio offering reformer Pilates, mat Pilates, yoga, and barre classes led by some of Seattle’s most experienced instructors. But the studio extends well beyond the mat.

Tucked behind the main studio is Ahimsa Wellness — a separate therapeutic space offering massage therapy, sound healing, reiki, embodiment coaching, holistic wellness consultations, and other restorative services. The studio also brings movement into the community through events like yoga on the beach and yoga in the park, as well as breathwork workshops, professional trainings, and children’s yoga classes on Sundays.

As the studio puts it: “Healing happens in relationship — not just to ourselves, but to one another, and to the spaces that hold us.”


What Members Are Saying

“One of the best boutique yoga and pilates studios I have been to in a long time. I love how intimate the classes are and how well the space is taken care of. The instructors really care and are so incredibly knowledgeable.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Kristina (founder) for years and years, and was delighted when she brought Ahimsa to Queen Anne. The moment you step into the door, you feel relaxed, calm, and at home. The variety of classes offered, from reformer pilates to mat to yoga to massages and beauty treatments all uphold the highest quality and customer experience. Can’t recommend this place enough.”

“Beautiful and welcoming studio!! Teachers are kind and talented, there’s also good community. The studio also has great special offerings like breathwork and trainings! Fair pricing.”

“Wow, could it be??? a studio built by someone who actually loves yoga and pilates?? I looove how easy it was to book, I looooove the class schedule options and I looove the warm and clean design of the studio. Honestly, what really drew me in was the list of Seattles most coveted instructors from across yoga, pilates and barre. Did I already say wow? Lemme say Thank you!”

“Best studio on Queen Anne – gorgeous, calm, soothing, and spotlessly clean studio; provides free loaner mats and brand new, highest quality bolsters/blocks/equipment; WONDERFUL mat Pilates instructor and Yoga classes are always fantastic; and my daughter LOVES the calm and affirming children’s yoga classes on Sunday. This studio has something for everyone! The women-owned leadership treat their instructors and member community fantastically well and there is always plenty of street parking out front and on the side street.”


The Need for Funding

Growing a wellness business takes real investment — in space, equipment, staffing, programming, and community. Like many small business owners, Kristina needed access to capital to keep building on what she had already created and to continue expanding Ahimsa’s offerings and reach within the Queen Anne neighborhood.

Finding the right financing partner isn’t always straightforward, especially for boutique businesses whose value is rooted in community and experience rather than traditional hard assets.


Where CapFront Came In

CapFront was able to take the time to understand Ahimsa’s needs and get them access to the funding they needed to help them expand and continue growing within their community.

Ahimsa Wellness continues to expand. More practitioners are joining the collective, community programming is growing, and the studio remains one of Queen Anne’s most respected wellness spaces. CapFront is glad to have played a role in supporting that growth.
