Inversion Workshop
July 29th at 12pm
At BSY, most classes end with a brief inversion practice but there's only so much you can do in 5-10 minutes. This workshop is for anyone who wishes for more time "at the wall." We'll do an abbreviated class to warm us up for our inversion practice, and then spend the majority of the workshop focusing on the mechanics and fundamentals of Forearm Balance (Pincha Mayurasana), Handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana), and some fun variations.
This workshop will include options for a wide range of practitioners.
Yoga with your Dog
August 12th at 12pm
Come do Downward Dog with your DOG! Part yoga class for humans and part puppy playtime. We'll attempt to do a mild yoga practice while the pups mingle and maybe even incorporate them in a few poses. You are welcome to come if you don't have a dog but need some puppylove. All dogs must be up-to-date on their vaccines.

Yoga with Baby
Every Tuesday at 12pm
The first rule of Yoga with Baby is: take care of yourself. If your little one needs to sleep, feed, or cry this is a safe space for you to be you. The main intention of the class is simply to connect with other parents and babies. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to tone and stretch your muscles and breathe deeply. Plus, you will get to play with your baby! You will learn very sweet and gentle “baby yoga” moves to promote digestion, enhance circulation, and elevate joy. Babies experience the world through the feelings in their bodies. The better their body’s energy is flowing, the happier and healthier the baby. A happy baby makes a happy momma, pappa, and family! Yoga with Baby is taught by Marysia Do.
Yoga with Baby is FREE on December 6th & 13th, 2022. So come check it
