Why Yoga?
The truth is most people think taking a yoga class will help stretch the body and provide a gentle workout, and this is true, for about 1% of our clients. How about the other 99%? Why do they come to the studio and unroll their mats?
Let us share some experiences!
-
Our yoga classes have helped students with debilitating chronic pain feel more comfortable in their bodies and move toward pain free living.
-
Our yoga classes have helped students with a loss in flexibility and range of motion due to an injury get back to the activities they love.
-
Our yoga classes have helped students struggling with anxiety and depression find new hope and joy in their life.
-
Our yoga classes provide a place for healing and support through all the challenges of life.
From helping children and adults focus and find the happiness they seek, to helping people gain mobility and move towards pain free living, to helping assist in the recovery from various types of abuse and trauma, yoga is here to help you!!
A yoga practice is not just about stretching and zenning out with sage and stones.
As instructors we all have a reason we found yoga. This is called the good, the bad, and the ugly. Though our practice we found healing and at one point or another decided to share that gift with others.
We invite you to join us! we invite you to the transformation that happens inward when you put in the work and show up to your mat.
It starts with you and we have the honor of being there to help when needed!
At BBYCW, our aim is to offer inclusive studio classes open to everyone interested in practicing with us! We embrace you as you are, encouraging and supporting you to personalize your practice to honor you, your body, and your needs along this journey.Our center is a space where authenticity is celebrated and healing is found in humor, hugs, & community. We frequently remind our students: come as you are. Our center is a space for you to be you. Join our BBYWC community and let our studio home become your studio home as well. We are glad you are here and can’t wait to see you in class!
