    Read the full BYDC Waiver and Release Agreement.

  • Welcome! Look for beginner-friendly or Level 1 classes, which introduce foundational postures, alignment, and breathwork at an accessible pace.

    Our teachers offer adaptations and encourage students to practice according to their own experience and needs. You do not need to be flexible or have any previous yoga experience to begin.

  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. We recommend bringing water and any personal items you may need.

    You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat or borrow one from the studio at no charge. Blocks, blankets, bolsters, straps, and other shared props are also provided.

  • Tell the teacher before class about anything that may affect your practice. Teachers may suggest adaptations, but you remain responsible for deciding whether and how to participate.

    Consult an appropriate healthcare professional if you are unsure whether yoga is suitable for you.
