Yoga~Asana

As a studio we are very aware of the many yoga lineages that have suffered from sexual misconduct and abuse. Although our teachers have diverse training backgrounds, Be Moved and all of its teachers implement our strong studio policy to uphold the highest level of ethical integrity in our teachings and in our relationships with our students. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about the classes and practices you find at Be Moved concerning lineage, teachings and ethical integrity.

MIndful Flow Yoga

Mindful Flow Yoga is an open invitation to listen to your body and find movement that feels amazing to you. The class includes meditation, pranayama (breath-work), and yoga asana (poses). However, rather than focusing on the aesthetics of the poses, students are asked to focus on how the poses feel, and students are given the opportunity to customize their experience and engage in playful and mindful exploration throughout the practice. All are welcome in this class!.

Yoga for People of Color (by donation)

This donation class provides yoga practice that sustains a traditional commitment to yoga’s roots while also honoring the explicit recognition of, and healing from, racism and its intersecting oppressions. This class is a healing space where BIPOC+ are not “othered”, where BIPOC+ are the norm instead of the exception. The goal of BIPOC+ Yoga is to provide an opportunity for people of color to be seen and loved as they make their way through a regular yoga practice. We respectfully remind you that this class is only for those who identify as BIPOC.

LEARN MORE

Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) need a space to practice yoga as a way to heal from the damages of racism and other systemic injustices, many which create serious health impacts on our bodies (e.g, weathering, depression & other mental health, hypertension, cardiovascular disease), also known as embodied inequality (Krieger, 2013). Yoga is recognized as having numerous health benefits but is often practiced in “race-evasive” ways, ones where race, racism, and intersecting injustices are ignored, in largely white spaces. In order to provide a space for BIPOC to engage in yoga that specifically addresses racism and intersectional injustice, we have created BIPOC+ Healing Yoga. The + is in recognition that people of color experience intersecting oppressions (e.g., sexism, ableism, cis-heteropatriarchy) that make them even more vulnerable to societal and interpersonal inequities.

Community Yoga

FREE/love offering to all the community. This class is an open, all levels class taught by the teachers at Be Moved and other teachers in our community. Come as a beginner or as an advanced yogi to share in our love for yoga!.

Sivananda Yoga

Find your way to feeling fully alive and fully relaxed with pranayama (breathwork), sun salutes, 12 primary asanas with variations, and chanting. By exploring the sensations and thoughts that arise as we move with intention, we gain awareness of joy, resistance, edges, allowing, and grace. This is classic hatha taught in the lineage of Sivananda, with influence from Anusara and Ashtanga. All body shapes are supported in their own expressions, while practicing together physical, mental, and emotional strength and peace.

Meditation/Sound Journeys/Breathwork

Sound Journeys

Sound is a powerful medicine and has been utilized in various cultures for thousands of years as a tool for mental, physical, and spiritual healing. In this sound journey you will often hear the rhythm of the drum, the shake of a rattle, the whisper of wings, and the rustle of plant music. Along with bells, bowls, gong, chimes, and voice that flood the room helping you to sink into yourself and attune. A sacred space is held as spirits and the elements are called to be present. This energetically charges the atmosphere with healing presence. Brook works with these energies to channel and create soothing frequencies, vibrations, and tones. An intention is set for the waves of sound to wash over you and through you restoring your life force to a balance and harmony with your true self. This experience may help you to decompress, release blockages, replenish, have clarity, and feel whole as your authentic power returns and restores. This journey may bring up deep emotions and energetic entanglements that you are ready to release. Please know you are supported and every part of you is welcome.
