Balance & Breath Yoga and Wellness

09/15/2026

Yoga philosophy teaches us that our practice is not limited to the shapes we make on a mat.

Yoga is also service. It is compassion in action. It is showing up with an open heart and offering support where it is needed.

Through free classes for kids and adults, programs at local shelters and senior homes, and mentorship opportunities with community youth, we are working to make wellness more accessible and inclusive.

Our goal is not simply to teach yoga. Our goal is to create spaces where people feel welcomed, respected, and encouraged to grow.

Every class, conversation, and connection is part of a larger story—a story of healing, belonging, and shared transformation.

We believe that when we care for ourselves, we become better equipped to care for our families, our neighbors, and our communities.

This is yoga in action. This is community care.

WE’VE MISSED YOU

This summer has brought us a season of pause, preparation, and behind-the-scenes growth.

Although we have missed holding public classes in our own space, we know that rest and stillness are also part of the practice. Yoga teaches us that not every season is about movement. Some seasons are about listening, preparing, and allowing the next chapter to unfold.

As our summer hiatus comes to an end, we are feeling excited and deeply grateful. We have missed the familiar faces, shared breaths, quiet moments before class, and the beautiful sense of community created each time we gather on our mats.

Our BBYWC space is beginning to take shape, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in October.

This space is being created to be more than a place for yoga. It will be a home for movement, healing, education, connection, and community care.

Thank you for your patience, encouragement, and continued belief in this vision. We cannot wait to practice with you again.

THE FOUNDATION

As summer begins to fade, we are looking back with gratitude at all that has been growing behind the scenes at Balance & Breath Yoga and Wellness Center.

While our public classes have been on hiatus, Ellie has been helping build the foundation of our future space—literally. She mixed and poured 6,000 pounds of concrete to create a strong foundation for BBYWC.

That foundation represents more than construction. It represents vision, commitment, patience, and the belief that meaningful things are built one step at a time.

In yoga philosophy, we are reminded of the importance of sthira—steadiness, strength, and stability. Just as a yoga pose requires a grounded foundation, our community space needs a strong foundation to support the work we are called to do.

We passed inspection, and our vision is beginning to take shape. We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way.

Our nonprofit still needs donations to help complete this space. If you feel called to support the BBYWC vision, please visit:

I was in the yard doing some things as the sun was starting to set and while I was out there I was reflecting on a few things.

There is something powerful about practicing yoga together.

At a free community class, people who may have never met before gather in one space. They arrive carrying different responsibilities, challenges, hopes, and stories. Then the class begins. We breathe together. We move together. We pause together.

For a short time, the labels and differences that often separate us become less important. We are simply human beings sharing the same space and the same breath.

This is the beauty of community yoga. It reminds us that wellness can be collective. Healing can happen through connection. A single class can become the beginning of a friendship, a healthier habit, or a renewed sense of belonging.

Thank you to everyone who continues to show up, practice, and help us build a more connected community. It truly means the world to me!

Hey all! It's Ellie!! What if this is the month you stop doing your personal growth work alone?

What if you had a small, supportive space where you could read, reflect, ask questions, and connect with women who are also creating meaningful change in their lives?

Our book club is a gentle community for personal development, transformation, and growth.

Each month, we explore a book that supports us in creating more alignment, ease, confidence, abundance, and enjoyment in our lives.

In September, we’ll be reading Aligned Abundance and exploring:

✨ Manifestation beyond wishful thinking ✨ Subconscious beliefs around money, visibility, and success ✨ Identity work and embodiment ✨ Integration from August ✨ Taking aligned action without forcing ✨ Becoming more available for the life you desire

You’ll receive the monthly book recording, weekly check-ins, exercises, reflection prompts, and an invitation to our monthly call.

And in October, we’ll be reading Calm Christmas to help us prepare for a more peaceful, intentional, and enjoyable holiday season.

The book club is currently just $12.

If you’ve been feeling called to join, this is your invitation.

I would love to see you inside.

YOGA FOR EVERY GENERATION

From playful movement with children to mindful breathing with seniors, yoga meets us at every stage of life.

We are honored to offer classes and wellness programs for people of all ages, including children, adults, and residents of local senior homes. Each group brings its own energy, wisdom, questions, and stories—and every class becomes a shared experience.

For children, yoga may look like imagination, movement, and discovery. For adults, it may offer space to release stress and reconnect with the body. For seniors, it can support gentle mobility, balance, breath awareness, and community connection.

The poses may change, but the heart of yoga remains the same: presence, compassion, and the opportunity to care for ourselves.

Wellness is not one-size-fits-all. It is a lifelong journey, and we are grateful to walk alongside our community.
