It’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen, including gentle yoga. When you register, inform us about any medical conditions or injuries, so we can provide modifications or alternative poses as needed to ensure your safety and comfort.

The frequency of attending gentle yoga classes depends on your personal goals, schedule, and physical condition. Practicing yoga regularly, even just a few times a week, can yield significant benefits. Listen to your body and adjust your practice accordingly. Those that practice consistently, experience the greatest benefits. Try a complimentary class and hear from our long-time students about the benefits they continue to experience.
I haven’t moved in a while — is this class for me?
Yes! These classes are designed to be gentle, adaptable, and beginner-friendly.
If I join on Zoom, do I need any special equipment at home?
No — we’ll show you how to use what you already have: pillows, blankets, or a chair work perfectly.
Is this yoga spiritual or religious?
Our classes are grounded in mindfulness and breath. There’s no dogma — just space to connect inward and feel more at home in your body.
Can yoga really help with stress or anxiety?
Absolutely. Gentle yoga helps regulate your nervous system, reduce tension, and improve sleep.
