At Atman Yoga & BJJ, we apply the meditative power of movement to pursue balance and harmony between one's mind, body, and spirit. Hatha yoga and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) share a common grounding in the uniquely transformative power of movement. Though they seem to come from worlds apart, yoga and BJJ offer unexpectedly complementary elements and techniques beneficial to the development of each p
ractice. Combined they are a potent means of refining one's self physically and metaphysically. Atman Yoga & BJJ is a safe space for everybody and every body! We welcome clients of all backgrounds and from all walks of life, wherever they are in their fitness journey. Our sessions are intensive full-body workouts that offer significant health benefits. We will encourage you to find comfort in the uncomfortable. Atman offers an array of hatha yoga classes, including the Bikram-inspired Hot 26, Vinyasa flow, restorative yoga, Nidra, and nonheated classes, as well as Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu for adults and children. Additional meditation and martial arts classes are forthcoming.
