Most of us–including our experienced instructors–are 50+. We know what it’s like to be in a mature body and recognize the importance of being mindfully active.

Just like you, we have been through or live with a chronic condition, a “bionic” joint, some form of trauma, or other challenges. Accessible yoga not only improves range of motion and strength, it also builds resilience, grounds us, and empowers us.

We opened BeFriend Yoga with the goal of creating an inviting, encouraging, and inclusive community for individuals living in mature bodies. We maintain small class sizes to offer you an accessible, sustainable, and personalized yoga experience.

Join us to BeFriend your body, practice, and each other!
