A note on class prices…
Our classes may cost more than those found at a gym or other fitness center. Our classes are taught by an experienced yoga instructor and certified yoga therapist; students enjoy the affordability of a group class while getting the benefit of the instructor’s therapeutic training. This expertise is applied in a highly individualized way in each session. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all classes; every class is carefully tailored to the needs of the individuals in the studio.
We also seek to create a sustainable model for our studio, instructors, and community. This includes paying our instructors the rates that their experience and expertise merits.
We are confident that you will feel the difference between our class offerings and those available at gyms and fitness centers, and enjoy the deep sense of support and consideration in each.

Running a Business Without Running Yourself Down:
A Yoga Therapy Workshop for Small Business Owners & Professionals
Saturday Feb 28th 10:00-12:30
If you run a business, lead a team, or carry a lot of responsibility,
you’ve probably learned how to push through.
Push through the fatigue.
Push through the tight shoulders.
Push through the racing mind that never really shuts off.
But burnout isn’t something you fix by trying harder.
This yoga therapy workshop is designed specifically for small business owners and professionals who are tired of holding it all together.
We’ll focus on:
• Simple, nervous-system-supportive movement
• Breath practices that actually calm—not energize
• Tools you can use during your workday, not just on the mat
• Understanding how burnout shows up in the body (and how to interrupt it)
No advanced poses.
No pressure to perform.
No “just relax” energy.
This is about restoring capacity—so your body and mind can work with you again.
You’ll leave feeling clearer, steadier, and more resourced—
not because you escaped your life,
but because you learned how to support yourself inside it.
If burnout has been whispering—or shouting—this workshop is for you.
Give your body the support it’s been asking for.
