Our Founders
We are Adela and Thomas, the founders of Half Pigeon Yoga. We met during yoga teacher training in April 2023.
We both came to yoga during a challenging season in our lives. We were looking for a path to clear our minds, to ground ourselves, to reconnect with our own inner source, a way to regulate our nervous system, a way to stay present.
We happened to sit next to each other in training, numbers 7 and 8 in the lineup. We studied together, practiced together, and slowly built trust through the immersive process of the training.
Our relationship blossomed during that time, and the yoga practice became the beginning of our lives together.
Our Story
Adela King
Co-founder
Half Pigeon was born from a shared vision, not just as partners, but as a family.
Much of our inspiration came from the studio owners we practiced with in Charlotte, NC. We watched Chris and Lindsey build a life alongside their studio, raising a child, bringing their dog to class, falling in love, and growing a space with grounded energy and integrity. We are grateful to still call them friends.
Yoga taught us that the real work happens off the mat. It lives in the daily return to breath, gratitude, and presence. It is a commitment to creating what we want to see in the world and within our own home.
We created Half Pigeon to share the practice that has brought us clarity, joy, and steadiness. We hope one day our children will be proud of what we build.
A community that grows together. That heals together.
That expands with intention.
Half Pigeon is our offering to the St. Pete community and our legacy for our family.
