Making yoga accessible for all is our mission at Yoga Home. We’re building a community of teachers for Chair and Adaptive Yoga classes – in our studio and beyond. Creating a safe, supportive space where individuals of all ages and abilities are free to experience the practice of yoga will be the focus of this training. Teaching Chair and Adaptive Yoga is a pathway to making yoga accessible for all!

You’ll learn to modify yoga postures and breathing techniques for individuals with varying physical limitations. We’ll explore the benefits derived from various postures and how we can adapt these postures for any body.

Experience how to teach Adaptive and Chair Yoga Classes as well as learn how to create classes that are appropriate for mixed levels and abilities. You’ll walk away with skills to work with students 1:1 or in group settings. This Training is open to all who have an interest in helping individuals with physical disabilities more fully explore the mind-body-spirit connection. Yoga teachers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, recreation therapists, educators, caregivers, parents and individuals with and without disabilities are all welcome.

Yoga Teachers will re-think how they teach asana (postures), enriching their teaching of other styles of the practice. PTs, OTs, Educators and others will learn techniques they can easily bring to their clients.

This weekend intensive will include lecture/discussion, Adaptive and Chair yoga classes and partner work. Training is limited to allow for a more intimate experience. Teaching Chair and Adaptive Yoga ~ Making Yoga Accessible is a training you won’t want to miss!

Oct. 17th-19th, CEUs available.

We received this beautiful photo and note from one of our dear students who joined us on our Spring Retreat this year ~

"I wanted to show you one of the "seeds of intention" from our spring yoga retreat that just started blooming today, completely unexpectedly, at least for me! I planted many seeds at the retreat, but this is the one that flourished. It's a good reminder that not all seeds will take root but when they do, in the right time and place, they bring beauty and joy to our lives." ~ Kristin M.

A beautiful reminder that taking the time of pause and set intention can be so good for the soul (and your garden!)

Those moments before and after we get moving on our mats are sometimes the sweetest.

The way a teacher sets the stage and frames a class can deeply enhance your experience. It's more than reading a pithy quote. It's bringing depth of knowledge of an aspect of yoga - philosophy, anatomy, spiritual teachings - and relating it to the human experience.

This is what we're about. Supporting you on your yoga journey in all the ways. Every class, every experience is an opportunity to learn something new. Something about the practice. Something about our world. Something about yourself.

💜💚💜

In the heat and action of summer, this gathering is a space to find reprieve, with more cooling, lunar, and regenerative practices to find balance during the second half of the season.

We’ll orient to themes and traditions of the season, breathe, have a slow, relaxing practice, followed by a restful, dreamy meditation. Afterwards, there will be journaling & card-pulling prompts to help us explore the inner world and intentions for beauty and balance in the summer harvest season.

Join the dreamy Candace Stevens on Sunday, July 27th, 3:00-5:30. Consider it an afternoon well spent to get grounded and reset for the balance of the Summer season.

"I had to adjust the setting on the seat in my car. I can tell I'm sitting more upright and how much my posture has improved."

Sentiments like this are music to our ears! Thanks, Liz, for sharing this with us, after Allison's lovely (and sweaty!) Vinyasa class last week.

Liz has committed to her practice - hitting her mat multiple times a week. Even though she just got started a month ago, she's already seeing a difference. We love that she's taking a variety of classes - Basics, Gentle, Slow Flow, Restorative and Vinyasa practices - it's always great to mix it up.

How's your posture? If you're in need of a tune-up, we'd love to see you! Take unlimited classes for 3 weeks for $59 - a great way to give yoga a try!

Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu (Sanskrit: लोकः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु) is a Sanskrit mantra we may chant at the end of practice.

Often translated as “may everyone, in the whole world, be happy and free", as well as "may my thoughts words and actions contribute to the happiness, wellbeing and safety of all, everywhere", it's a reminder that we each play an important role. In ways large and small, we have impact.

As we celebrate today, let's remember our collective work to bring this to life. 💜

July marks Disability Pride Month. Disability is something that touches us all - more than 1 in 4 of the US population lives with some type of disability. It's time to shift the narrative and recognize the rich diversity and all we can learn from our friends and family members who are disabled. While October marks Disability Awareness, we love that July has recently been marked as Disability Pride. Because goodness knows, there's a whole lot to be proud of.

We love this flag, as it shows the many aspects of disability - click thru to read more about how you can educate yourself and get involved.

Yoga Home has been serving our community with our Adaptive Yoga Program since 2015. Every week we're with children and adults living with some type of disability, often in schools, residential settings and business employing the disabled. But the reality is - there are many who regularly attend our studio classes who are living with a disability. We welcome all, all the time.

Our Yoga for All Class, Mondays at 4:30 encourages all of us to come together to practice. Whether you grab a mat or a chair, practice is tailored to all who show up.

We hope you'll join us this month to celebrate the gifts each and everyone of us has to offer!

You can learn more about our Adaptive Yoga Program on our website - and our "Making Yoga Accessible - Teaching Chair & Adaptive Yoga Training" is this October 💜

Here we are, halfway through 2025 - time for a check in.

Remember back in January when you set intentions for the year? Maybe you're a resolution person, maybe it's intention setting, maybe it's manifesting. Whatever your process is, now's the time to see where you are.

New Year brings new energy and focus - the turn of the calendar is a natural time to consider how you wish to show up in this world.

But guess what?

July is a pretty great time for reflection, too.

Give yourself grace as you consider how the first half of 2025 went. Consider a few things:

💜 Were your intentions internally focused or reliant upon external factors?
💚 Were your intentions realistic, given all life's circumstances?
💜 Do these intentions still ring true for you, now that some time has passed?
💚 As you sit here today, what shifts have you noticed and where are you feeling called to spend your energy?

Mindful reflection can be an important part of our practice. Every time on your mat, an opportunity to connect within.

As always, we're here to support you in all the ways. 💜
