Yoga for Men 🤘

Join Pete Waak for a 75-minute yoga workshop designed specifically for men, focusing on the areas that tend to feel the tightest.

You’ll learn foundational poses, simple breathing techniques, and what to expect in future classes so you can walk in feeling confident and prepared.

If you're brand new to yoga, this is a great introduction. If you've practiced before, this is a chance to slow down, return to the basics, and move with more awareness.

We'll also spend extra time opening common areas of tightness like shoulders and hips.

All levels are welcome.

Thursday, March 12 • 7:00 PM
$30 • $25 for Unlimited Members

This is why Waves exists 🤍

When I was 13, I was hospitalized and admitted into an eating disorder recovery program. It was one of the hardest seasons of my life.

While I was there, they offered weekly yoga classes.

I don’t remember the instructor’s name.

But I remember how she made me feel.

For the first time, I felt at peace in my body. Present. Not at war with myself.

That changed my entire life.

I kept practicing throughout my teens and became certified to teach at 17. Over time, yoga became more than movement; it became healing, connection, friendships, and most importantly, home.

I’m 30 now, fully recovered, and so deeply grateful for the practice that helped me rebuild my relationship with myself.

Waves was always meant to be the studio I dreamed of.

Somewhere they remember your name.
Somewhere consistency feels possible.
Somewhere you can come back to that feeling- the one I first felt in 2013, over and over again.

The feeling of being at peace in your own body.
Of remembering who you truly are.

I know what it feels like to struggle quietly. I know what it feels like to walk into a room and hope you belong.

That’s why Waves exists.

Whatever brings you here, I’m so grateful you found us. I can’t wait to support you in your yoga practice.

Hugs,
Ariane

“I keep coming back because I feel like I belong.”

When someone says this, it reminds us why we opened back in 2018.

We wanted a studio that felt warm and welcoming.

Where people remembered your name.

Where you could build a consistent yoga practice.

A place to make friends.

And leave every class feeling better. 🤍
