🌟📣 New teacher announcements! 📣⭐️

The lovely Sam is now stewarding our Monday morning 8:30 AM Gentle Foundations class!

The wonderful Olivia will be holding the Monday 7:15 PM Restore + Release class next week!

Olivia and Sam BOTH graduated from The BYMC’s Yoga School in 2026. We are so proud to have them join the teaching team here 🌟✨

Join us in welcoming Sam and Olivia below! ❤️

More about Sam and Olivia✨✨

Sam (she/they): Returning to the body and breath, again and again, through all its seasons, is the practice I most want to share. I remain committed to honoring the lineages and teachings of South Asia, from whom we have the privilege of this practice, and to the ongoing, unfinished work of holding that with care. What I hope to offer as a teacher is simple, and it is the thing my name has been telling me all along: a little steadiness, a little grounding, and the sense that you are not moving through it alone. Steadiness and company. Sama, in both of its meanings. I would be honored to practice alongside you.

Olivia (she/her): My first yoga class was over 20 years ago, but it took a long while for yoga to become a regular part of my life. This journey continues to remind me that the best things unfold in their own time—and how much is possible when we give ourselves space to explore without aiming to get to a particular place. I enjoy crafting practices that feel like a journey—from engaging the body and cultivating energy to slowing down, listening inward, and making space for the nervous system to settle. I’m especially drawn to creating spaces where people can come back to themselves, trust their embodied wisdom and meet themselves and others with curiosity, presence, and play. I believe that each person brings their unique body, history, and experience to the practice. It’s an honor to be a part of the BYMC community, sharing these practices while continuing to learn within the community and with my teachers.

🌀 your practice can be both and! 🌀

swipe through to learn about how to modify depending on what support you’re seeking from practice. the same shape can evoke an entirely different experience or “felt sense” with a few adjustments. your practice is YOURS and it can be really powerful to learn how to adjust poses to support you through every season of life.

if you’re a beginner interested in building a sustainable practice, join us for gentle foundations yoga- monday wednesday and friday mornings ❤️✨

Diwali, also known as Deepavali, comes from the Sanskrit words Deepa (lamp) and Avali (row), meaning “a row of lights.” One of India’s most beloved festivals, Diwali celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, wisdom over ignorance, and hope over despair.

This year, we invite you to experience Diwali in a unique and intimate way—through the beauty of Indian culture, sacred music, meditation, and a deeply restorative sound bath.

Allow yourself to be carried by Moksha’s angelic, soulful voice, ancient Sanskrit mantras, the mesmerizing melodies of the handpan, resonant crystal singing bowls, delicate chimes, and other sacred instruments. Whether you grew up celebrating Diwali or are experiencing this beautiful Indian tradition for the first time, you are warmly welcome.

If you’ve left yoga for other modalities and are craving the mindfulness again, come back for a class! Keep up the other fitness and exercise you’re doing too - it’s all part of a holistic system.

Did you know that yoga has explicit benefits that are DIFFERENT from other forms of fitness and exercise?

If you’ve practiced yoga regularly, you probably do, because you can FEEL it!

Western science backs up what yogic science has said for ages - mind-body connection is a powerful antidote to anxiety and stress.

Yoga can be a transformational practice that holds the WHOLE being - physical body, mind, emotional body, spirit, and even the social body.

Add yoga in a trauma-sensitive, accessible, healing-centered environment and 🪄 the possibilities are endless.

If you’re new to yoga and curious, come practice with us- our Gentle Foundations and Slow and Steady classes are designed with beginners in mind.

we received the sweetest note recently from a student- so affirming to hear that our offerings are landing for our community. our goal has always been support you on and off the mat through different seasons of life, to hold the space for you to return to yourself and build safety in your body.

at the bymc, we understand our work on the yoga mat as deeply intertwined with our capacity to show up off the mat and feel so honored to be part of your lives!

with love, t + z ❤️❤️✨

Join us in welcoming these incredible humans to the SOMA School community 👏🏽🫶🏽🫰🏽

This year’s Yoga School and Teacher Training has begun ❤️‍🔥

In our opening circle, we invited everyone to presence a support to be with them as they embark on this learning growing journey -

we were joined by grandmas, siblings, chosen family, water, dirt, sun, space, kelp …

and our teaching assistants beautifully presenced all the students who have come through this program before, shaped it and evolved it, and in turn let themselves change and be changed by yoga.

We are so inspired by the unique wisdom that each student who has come through this program brings and bursting with excitement to see what this new cohort unfolds.

If you’re looking at this photo and feeling a little jealy…. There’s still time to join our à la carte sections and if you’re interested in next year’s full program, it’s not too early to reach out and let us know you’re interested ♥️
