A new wellness-focused coworking and community spa

A new wellness-focused coworking and community space has opened in the Northside neighborhood. Located in Brewery Square at 123 North Linn Street, Suite 2F, @sanghaiowacity offers a collaborative environment for wellness practitioners and professionals seeking an inspiring and supportive workspace.

The space includes private offices, short-term rentals, and a multi-use programming area designed for group sessions, meditation, yoga, and holistic gatherings.

Founded by mindfulness teacher Brad Baldwin, sangha was created to address the need for shared space among wellness professionals and solopreneurs. Rooted in the Pali word for “community,” sangha is built on inclusivity, prioritizing access to wellness programming over financial outcomes. With a mission to bring people together in a welcoming and accessible environment, sangha invites practitioners and community members alike to explore its offerings.
