COMING TO SUNDAYS 2026!
Some of you already know and love Gentle & Supported Yoga. This class blends Gentle Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Restorative Yoga into a soothing, nurturing practice. Some weeks will lean more toward one style than another—but you can always count on it being a space to unwind, let go, and relax.

Our teachers will rotate in leading this class. Each instructor brings their own specialty: some focus more on Yin, others on Restorative. These softer styles of yoga are highly specialized, and each teacher in the rotation will teach from their strengths.

Here’s a simple cheat sheet outlining which styles each teacher has been trained in:

Yin & Restorative: Sarah, Amy & Melody
Restorative: Kate J & Kim
Yin: Crystal, Kate R, Laura, & Betsy

Every other Sunday, we’ll be offering our Yoga Strap Wall class from 2:00–3:30 PM. This creates a wonderful opportunity to take back-to-back classes with Gentle & Supported Yoga.

Gentle & Supported Yoga is included in memberships.
Strap Wall classes are $35.
Non-members can attend both classes for $50.

We’d love to have you join us for a relaxing and revitalizing Sunday!

200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yovana Yoga
February – September 2026

Our comprehensive 200-hour training program is thoughtfully designed to support deep learning and integration over time.
We meet one weekend per month from February through August, and two weekends in September to complete the program.

🗓 Training Schedule
Weekends: Saturdays & Sundays, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM With an hour for lunch.

Evenings on Zoom: ~15 weekday evening sessions for Yoga Anatomy & Yoga Humanities

This format allows for a balanced, immersive experience that fits into your life while giving you time to absorb and apply what you learn between sessions.

Yovana Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS 200) with Yoga Alliance.

Why Yovana Yoga? Quality Over Quantity.

At Yovana Yoga, we specialize in small group 200-hour teacher trainings. This intentional structure ensures that every student receives the individual attention and support they need to truly grow—as both a practitioner and a teacher.

The result?
Our graduates are consistently more confident, capable, and classroom-ready than those from larger programs. Yovana-trained teachers are often mistaken for much more experienced instructors, and we take that as the highest compliment.
When we began this journey, our goal was never to train the most teachers.
Our mission has always been to train the best.

✨ Half-Day Retreat
This special retreat includes:

90 minutes on the Yoga Strap Wall
2 hours of semi-private restorative yoga

I’m so excited to teach this intimate session! A semi-private format allows me to introduce you to some of the yummiest restorative poses—ones we can’t always offer in group classes because they use extra props and require hands-on assistance. Hope you can join us! Sarah

There are 2 spots left for this amazing event on Sunday, December 14th.
💲 $85 per person

Take this time for yourself—you deserve it.

12/03/2025

It’s that time of year when we all need to take a little time for ourselves—to rest, restore, and recharge. That means it is time for Restorative Yoga.

What is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative yoga allows us to deeply relax and renew while being fully supported by props. Some poses may be held for up to 30 minutes. Because your body is completely supported, you won’t feel a stretch—just pure relaxation.

✨ Restorative Yoga Classes
Thursday, December 4th & 18th
📍 Calhoun Studio
🕕 6:00–7:30 PM
These classes are included in memberships. Pre-booking is required so we can ensure enough props for everyone.
Take this time for yourself—you deserve it.

Starting tonight!

Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is an empirically validated, clinical intervention for complex trauma or chronic, treatment resistant Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, however you don’t have to have a history with trauma to benefit from it. With this approach, the power is within the individual, not the facilitator. TCTSY provides opportunities for participants to restore their connection between their mind and their body, and to cultivate a sense of agency that is often compromised as a result of trauma. The methodology is based on the central components of trauma theory, attachment theory, neuroscience, and hatha yoga, with an emphasis on body-based yoga forms and breathing practices. The focus through TCTSY is on the internal experiences of the participant, what the form feels like rather than looks like, or interception. Participants have opportunities to make choices on how to move their bodies based on their felt sensations. TCTSY has been supported by more than 10 original, peer-reviewed studies, and many more independent analyses.

About the Teacher: Amy Quarles is a therapist, a yoga teacher, and one of only 5 people in the state of Georgia who is certified as a TCTSY Trauma sensitive yoga teacher. She is an RYT 500. In her private practice she primarily works with Children and teens. She weaves yoga into their therapy sessions. Her therapy office is in the studio.

Classes are Thursdays in November at 6 pm in Calhoun. This is included in Calhoun memberships. Dalton members can attend for free. Anyone else can drop in for $29 per class. You can book on our website or on the Yovana Yoga App.

At Yovana Yoga, we believe yoga is for everyone! We use chairs and props to make poses either more attainable or more challenging—whatever best supports your unique practice. Props help you move more deeply into each pose while keeping your body safe and supported.

We meet you on the mat exactly where you are, and guide you deeper into your body—and ultimately, deeper into the real you.

🌿 New Student Offer: Enjoy your first month of unlimited classes for just $59!
Remember, the hardest part of your yoga journey is simply showing up for your first class. We’ll take care of the rest.
