OUR STUDIO
The Mind Garden yoga studio is unlike any other studio in the surrounding area. Our boutique studio offers small size classes providing an intimate and supportive environment which allows for more personalized attention. Our experienced team of teachers are well-trained and dedicated to serving students by assisting them with practices cultivated to deepen the mind and body connection through somatic movement, guided breathwork, and meditation. Our teachers work in harmony with one another, each bringing unique abilities and gifts to our community. In addition to the small group classes offered throughout the week, private sessions can be scheduled with a number of our teachers. Specialty sessions include one-on-one yoga, yoga therapy, ayurvedic yoga and wellness guidance, children’s yoga, prenatal & postpartum yoga, trauma-sensitive yoga, chair yoga, herbalism, sound healing, reiki, and more.
our classes
VINYASA FLOW
Our 60-minute vinyasa flow class is a physically challenging class designed to offer a full body workout. This style links breath and movement to both strengthen the physical body and calm the mind. Our teachers offer alignment cues and modifications to make this practice available to both newer students and well-seasoned practitioners looking to advance their practice.
SOFT FLOW YOGA
Our 60-minute soft flow class is a slower paced variation of our strong flow offerings. These classes are planned to provide a physically challenging class at a pace that allows for refining body alignment in postures in a mindful way and at a pace which feels safe and supportive. This slow and intentional movement practice is meant to cultivate embodiment.
YIN YOGA
Yin Yoga is a slow, quiet practice that cultivates stillness, softness, and acceptance. Most of the Yin shapes are seated hip openers designed to gently release and lengthen the fascia of the hips and lower back. Shapes are grouped by anatomical archetypes designed to target different areas of the body and stimulate flow through the energy channels. Practitioners cultivate a deeper sense of embodiment in this somatic practice.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
The benefits of the Restorative Yoga practice are received by holding comfortable positions for extended periods of time, with a passive attitude. This allows the nervous system to shift into the “relaxation response.” Students often drop into a state of conscious sleep called theta brain waves which shifts the nervous system into the parasympathetic state and actively returns homeostasis in the body. The majority of Restorative Yoga poses are practiced resting on the back or side body, supported by soft props, inviting deep relaxation and surrender.
PRENATAL YOGA
Prenatal yoga is a holistic practice tailored specifically to the needs of expectant mothers, offering a multitude of benefits for both the mom-to-be and growing baby. Lowering stress is a key objective of prenatal yoga, as high stress levels during pregnancy can have adverse effects on both maternal and fetal health. Through a combination of gentle movement, breath work, and meditation, prenatal yoga offers mothers a sanctuary to release tension, quiet the mind, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. Beyond physical health, prenatal yoga fosters a deep connection between mom and baby. Prenatal yoga classes often provide a supportive community where mothers can share their experiences, fears, and joys, further enriching this special connection. Please consult your doctor before beginning a yoga program.
OUTDOOR YOGA
Our Outdoor Yoga events are donation based and offered in the Mind Garden courtyard Saturday mornings, weather permitting. Hosting guest teachers allows us to provide a variety of yoga styles to be offered to the community. Yoga offerings will range from heat-building fast-paced movement, softer relaxation, sound healings, and fun for the whole family sessions. Our donation based model is meant to provide an opportunity for anyone interested in spending time taking care of their wellness while deepening connection within our community.
private yoga & healing sessions
Book a private session with a Mind Garden yoga teacher for individualized or small group guidance. A private yoga session offers personalized yoga instruction tailored to an individual’s specific needs, goals, and abilities. Some of the benefits and purposes of a private yoga session are:
- Personalized Attention: The instructor can focus solely on you, providing adjustments and modifications to ensure proper alignment and technique.
- Customized Practice: The session can be tailored to address specific health concerns, injuries, or goals, such as flexibility, strength, relaxation, or stress relief.
- Individual Pace: You can practice at your own pace, without feeling rushed or held back by a group class.
- Flexible Scheduling: Private sessions can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you, offering more flexibility than group classes.
- Enhanced Progress: With focused attention and a customized approach, you may see faster progress in your practice.
- Comfort and Privacy: Some individuals may feel more comfortable practicing yoga in a private setting rather than in a group.
- Specialized Techniques: The instructor can incorporate specialized techniques or practices that are not typically included in standard group classes.
Private yoga sessions can be especially beneficial for beginners who need foundational instruction, individuals with specific health concerns, or advanced practitioners looking to deepen their practice.

Specialty: Hold Space for Every Body to Practice Yoga
Certifications: Hello
1:1 Yoga Session: 60-minutes of individual attention to teach you how you can practice yoga taking into consideration your individual needs, limitations and goals.
"My favorite thing about teaching yoga is how accessible it can be. I LOVE exploring how we can modify “traditional” poses to meet each bodies need! I am passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion in all spaces – most importantly including yoga! If you can breathe, you can practice yoga. I have been fortunate enough to teach in a variety of different settings with a
rainbow of different students; kids yoga classes, prenatal classes, afterschool school yoga clubs, a residential treatment facility for at risk youth, corporate chair yoga, and yin classes. I understand as a yoga instructor I merely give suggestions during your yoga practice; the work, the journey, the glow after a practice... comes from within you <3"
