Four Gates Physical and Energetic Culture

Specialties

Gentle Japanese style acupuncture, and highly effective muscle release techniques that yield immediate results for pain conditions. Low-​Tech High-​Effect personal and group training: post rehab, corrective exercise, sports specific, and personal programing.

Read our Yelp reviews– yes many are filtered, and yes they are real testimonials from our current patients and students. They will all be happy to discuss further.

By enjoying movement we facilitate our ability to fulfill our highest potential. When exercise feels good we make more progress (it’s true!) and a fun, supportive, compassionate environment makes challenging exercise feel good.

Join us for: Qi Gong Meditation, Kettlebell Instruction, Acupuncture sessions, Yoga (All levels, Prenatal, Family Friendly), and more.

History

Established in 2011.

Colleen LaSota and Christian Doten moved their acupuncture and personal training businesses from New York City to Minneapolis in March 2011. The goal was to open a space where the patients, clients and students receive the combination of services and the personal attention needed for real and lasting results. Since opening the doors of Four Gates they have been honored to watch so many personal transformations, and have really enjoyed sharing the fun with everyone who shows up to practice.
