Move your body. Still your mind.
Yoga & Workshops
The Move Therapy and Wellness yoga studio offers yoga classes, workshops and therapeutic groups led by Certified Yoga Teachers and Licensed Clinical Psychotherapists.
Through movement, breath work, and meditation, each class offers practical self-care and mental health tools that you can take off your mat and into your daily life. Our space and our classes are designed to support Move's existing therapy clients and the general population through drop in yoga classes and speciality workshops. No yoga experience is necessary, and classes prioritize inner work and self-compassion over difficult poses and advanced sequences.
Move Yoga Flow

During this mindfully curated flow, you will focus on both your breath and your ability to be present in each pose, which can help quiet negative mental chatter and regulate the body and nervous system.
In this signature class, you will move through a 35 minute practice and a 10 minute guided breath-work session. During the yoga flow you will focus on both breath and the ability to be present in each pose, this technique can help to regulate the body and calm the nervous system. Guided breath-work will immediately follow the yoga sequence.
Move and Meditate
Move through a 30 or 45 minute practice and a 15 minute mindful guided meditation. During the yoga flow you will focus on both breath and the ability to be present in each pose, which can help quiet negative mental chatter, regulate the body, and boost overall mood. A guided meditation will immediately follow the yoga sequence.

I’m new to yoga – can I still attend class?
Yes, all levels are welcome – including those brand-new to yoga. Our practitioners create a safe, welcoming environment with a yoga flow that’s accessible to all. We encourage you to listen to your body throughout class and honor what you need in the moment – even if that means doing child’s pose the whole time.
