Learn the roots and scope of Yoga practice which is a system to holistically develop and supportenhance the body-mind. We'll learn how the different layers of mental attitudes, movement, breathwork and mindfulness come together during Yoga.
The first thing to know about yoga is that it is truly for everyBODY. In this series of classes we'll explore a range of yoga traditions, breathing techniques and all-levels mindful-movement practices for feeling a sense of comfort, love, and acceptance in your body.
Whether you're just beginning or rediscovering your practice, this series will be helpful for anyone who wants to bring greater peace to their bodies and minds.
September 19 - Class 1: Bravely Connecting with the Body
A feel good flow that aims to help you accept and appreciate where you are in each moment. We'll move with gratitude and strength through a series of postures to remind us that our bodies are more than our thoughts.
September 26 - Class 2: Bringing Care to the Body
This gentle flow practice highlights the yogic value of ahimsa (non-harm), by contemplating how to be more compassionate and kind to yourself on and off the mat.
October 3 - Class 3: I Am Awesome Flow*
This fun class will move with gentle conviction through postures while challenging negative self-talk by greeting it with a sincere mantra — I Am Awesome — that speaks to the core of who you are.
*Inspired by a class taken with yoga teacher Jo Tastula.
October 10 - Class 4: Body Rejuvenation and Rest
The first half of this class will start with gentle, breath-centered postures to warm and awaken your body and mind. During the second half, we'll take time to slow down and honor the tension and stress our body carries through restorative longer-held stretches and guided relaxation.
A Gentle — low to mid intensity — hatha yoga session involving synchronous breath work and asana practice, designed to help you feel balanced and reinvigorated. All levels are welcome. Taught by classically trained teachers.
Outside on Baker Lawn for September, weather permitting.

This FREE, self-paced, 7-day, all-levels yoga challenge can help you take dedicated, consistent time out for yourself so that you feel ready to take on the rest of the term calmer and more focused.
*For the longer classes (20+ minutes) we recommend that you can easily move from the ground to standing with ease. There is also a daily option of a low impact, seated only practice with no up and down movement.
You can request a yoga class from our team for your student group, class, organization, house, or team.
We offer the following options, as well as mindfulness and wellbeing workshops:
Gentle Yoga – Great for beginners and long-time practitioners alike! This class is all about slowing down and treating our bodies, minds, and hearts with kind, caring attention. Through breath work, gentle seated and standing postures, and time for deep rest, this class will leave your group feeling more calm, centered, and relaxed.
Yoga Flow – More active and dynamic, this class is wonderful for a group who might want to create some warmth and cultivate greater strength and flexibility in their bodies and minds. Flowing between strong and steady postures, paying particular attention to our breath and minds, and making time for sweet relaxation, this class will leave your group feeling more energized, grounded, and focused.
Restorative Yoga – Sometimes less is more. If your group is looking for a class that is deeply restorative and restful, this is the one for you. Through longer holds, intentional breathing, and a guided relaxation session, this class is a lovely way to balance out the hectic times of the term.
