So much of life today is yang in nature—busy, active, and outward-reaching. We chase deadlines, juggle schedules, and pour energy into constant motion. While this fire has its place, we are not meant to burn endlessly. Without moments of stillness, the body wearies, the mind scatters, and the spirit begins to dim.

In a world that moves fast and demands more, yin yoga invites us to slow down… and simply be. In its long-held postures and intentional breath, we’re offered a sanctuary—a space to turn inward, to soften, to listen.

Honor the wisdom of slowing down and to create space for the subtle rhythms of life with our Yin Yoga teachers Kate on Wednesday evenings, Linda on Thursday afternoons, Jodie on Thursday evenings (online only,) and our newest Yin Yoga teacher Brigid on Saturday mornings.

To learn more about Yin Yoga, read Brigid's blog post here: https://www.columbiayoga.com/blog/the-gentle-wisdom-of-yin-a-path-to-longevity

In a shifting world, it’s easy to feel adrift – disconnected from yourself, your dreams, and the world around you. The pace of life has changed and so have you. Perhaps you’re searching for clarity, peace, and a sense of purpose.

Yoga offers a solution: a path of radical affirmation. It asks you to embrace your whole self, imperfections and all, and rediscover the love, power, and fullness that already exist within you.

If you’re ready to come home to your heart and live your dream, join us at the Yoga Center of Columbia for a Yoga Revolution! This October 11-12, we welcome internationally acclaimed yoga teacher, author, founder of Ashaya Yoga, Kripalu legacy faculty, and musician, Todd Norian for a weekend full of yoga fun and friendship!

The time to reconnect is now. Life is waiting. You are worthy of love, wholeness, and joy. When you step onto the path of your heart, you inspire others to do the same. See details and register today on our Workshops page for this special event: Yoga Revolution for Body, Mind, and Heart: Weaving Purpose, Power, and Passion! 🧘🕉💖

Are you feeling called to a higher purpose?

Practicing yoga is an act of social resistance. When society continues to push and say, "more consumption, more things, more busy, much faster, and no need to think of others’ welfare," to slow down and really feel is an act of rebellion. When we practice yoga, we begin to recognize the benefit and even advantage of slowing down, taking only what you need, and making choices to not harm others. Yoga is not just the physical practice of asana, there is a mental and spiritual component too; and right there in the first two rungs of Patanjali’s eight-runged ladder for yoga practice are the principles of doing no harm to self or others, reducing consumption and the need for consumption, and cultivating mental clarity and contentment. On an average day in our current world, most people are not thinking about these things, much less talking to others about how to live in this way, a more balanced lifestyle.

If you are feeling called to a higher purpose in your life, now is the time to do more research. The Yoga Center of Columbia in Columbia, Maryland, is offering a free information session for both our 200 level and 500 level Yoga Teacher Training programs. Won’t you join us Sunday, October 5th from 4:00-5:30pm?

Our next cohorts begin in January 2026. Early Bird rates end in December.

The Yoga Center of Columbia has a robust schedule of over 100 classes in yoga, Pilates, meditation and qigong, taught by over 30 expert instructors. Meet one of them: Katie Huber, E-RYT 500 and RCYT, who has been a Registered Yoga Teacher since 2010 and who has practiced yoga since 1999!

Katie hopes to share with her students the joy that movement and activity can bring at any age or ability. She often incorporates strength training into her yoga practices and enjoys the creativity that props such as weights can add to her teaching and practice.

Katie teaches Yoga 1-2 with Weights and Yoga 2 for the Core, and has transitioned into the regular instructor for our Tuesday Chair Yoga class! Katie is also a rotating instructor for Tuesday's FREE Yoga for Movement Disorders online class hosted by the Yoga Center of Columbia.

Katie is also a certified cycling and group exercise instructor, a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT,) and has been teaching Yoga for People with Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders for many years, both at the Yoga Center of Columbia and through the local Parkinson's Foundation chapter.

Visit us in person for the final month of Sophia Randle's art show now on display at the Yoga Center of Columbia's Studio Art Gallery!

Browse the vivid, poignant "Charm City" exhibition of lifelong Baltimore local and artist Sophia Randle, a graduate of Loyola University Maryland who "finds herself currently drawn to modernist and post-impressionist artwork, painting from life, and incorporating found objects to be utilized as canvases." Of her collection at the Yoga Center of Columbia, she says her "art is a map highlighting the quirks of Baltimore through its diverse architecture and landmarks, that often vary drastically based on where you choose to wander in the city. I sought to explore my relationship with space in general, emphasizing recurring details and features of the world that I find the most inspiring/interesting/even confusing."

Sophia's art is available for purchase through the end of September. We invite you to spend some time with these thought-provoking pieces and shop our boutique of small-business, ethically-made, and locally-sourced artwork, gifts, clothing, yoga accessories, and more at the Yoga Center of Columbia!
