Hi. My name is Morris McLennan. I'm the founder of Flannel Yoga.

I started practicing yoga in middle school, around fifteen years ago (thank goodness my mom is a hippie).

I went to college, got a playwriting degree, and started hopping around America at various writing residencies and seasonal jobs. I realized that while my circumstances might change drastically at any moment, I could always come back to yoga.

I earned my 200-hour yoga teacher certification at Chi-Town Shakti in 2025 and started Flannel Yoga with my partner a few months later. We wanted to create a space where we could bring people together over yoga, coffee, theatre, and friendship. So we rented an office in our neighborhood and tore out the carpet and got to work.

Flannel Yoga is a space for all sorts of yoga teachers to grow, experiment, and build community. We’re bringing the fringe festival ethos to yoga; we want the weird, the new, and the radically inclusive. 

If you're interested in teaching in the space, you can learn more here.

I hope to see you in class soon :)
