By Friday evening, the body often knows exactly what it needs: quiet, support, and a place to exhale.

This month’s Candlelight Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga workshop with Jaclyn Jackson invites you into deeply supported rest under the energy of the June Strawberry Moon.

You’ll settle into restorative postures, soften the nervous system, and be guided into Yoga Nidra meditation.

Friday, June 5 | 6:30-7:45pm | $30

Reserve your spot and join us in a small group for this quiet evening of rest and renewal.👇

A simple hello can change the way a room feels.

Laura Jane’s newest reflection, “Gift of Sharing A ‘Hello,’” is a gentle reminder that community often begins in the smallest ways - a greeting, a smile, a moment of being seen.

This is part of what makes Yoga Among Friends feel different. It is not only a place to practice. It is a place to arrive, belong, and remember that we are connected.

At Yoga Among Friends, yoga has always been more than a class.

It is a place to practice, to listen, to grow, and to return to the heart.

Here, friendships form. Community gathers. Students are welcomed at every stage of their yoga journey.

Through breath, meditation, mantra, self-reflection, and mindful movement, we practice the many tools of yoga — not only to feel better in the body, but to quiet the mind and live with more compassion.

This is the true spirit of Yoga Among Friends.

A place to be yourself, to grow and let go, and to know that you are among friends.
