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.

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.
