🌿 Virtual Programs: Yoga Wherever You Are
Our Virtual Programs bring heart-centered yoga directly to you—no matter where you live in North America. With flexibility in mind, these classes are an accessible way to stay grounded, supported, and connected throughout the seasons.
Through live, guided sessions, our virtual offerings aim to:

Nurture inner calm through meditation, breathwork, and deep relaxation
Make yoga more accessible by allowing you to join from home—or anywhere that feels right
Build community through shared classes, friendly faces, and meaningful connection

Our inaugural virtual season launched in February 2025 with a vibrant 17-week series. Ten dedicated teachers led over 170 classes, offering a diverse range of sessions including gentle yoga, Hatha, chair yoga, pranayama, and meditation. We were honored to welcome 115+ participants, each contributing to a warm, supportive virtual community.
❄️ Coming Soon: Winter 2025 Series
We're evolving with the seasons! This winter, look out for new offerings including monthly workshops focused on the physical, emotional, and philosophical dimensions of yoga. These immersive sessions will help you deepen your personal practice—and stay connected to others along the way.

Many of these workshops also offer Continuing Education (CE) credits through Yoga Alliance.
🌀 Current and Upcoming Workshop Themes:
Cultivating inner awareness and connection in students
Applying the eight limbs of yoga in class settings
Using props creatively and with confidence
Balancing effort and ease within posture work
