About Us
At Be Embodied our goal is to make trauma informed, mindfulness meditation based yoga, accessible to everyone. We are the home of Mindflow Yoga, a style of yoga designed to keep one’s mind connected with their body through mindfulness meditation based and trauma informed instruction. This style of yoga encourages students to mindfully keep their attention inside the four corners of their mat while they practice. The mainstay is to let the body inform the pose rather than the pose inform the body. This practice focuses on self-compassion, focusing the mind, and mastering how to take yoga off the mat and into life!
- We strongly encourage pre-registration for all classes through Momence
- We offer yoga mats for students to borrow if needed.
- New students should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of class to fill out appropriate paperwork and get settled in.
- Cell phones should be turned off, or set to silent.
- Please refrain from wearing scents and lotions.
- Please stay home if you are sick.

Hatha Yoga
Hatha is the most traditional form of yoga. Technically, vinyasa, yin, etc., are all variants of hatha yoga- however, hatha classes are typically more foundational; slow-paced and gentle, hatha classes involve longer holds in postures, and are focused on connection to breath. Hatha classes are a great place to start for beginners.
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa is a style of yoga that places emphasis on gracefully flowing through a sequence of postures, connecting breath to movement. Vinyasa classes are typically higher energy and can be more of a workout than other styles of yoga. Classes typically include a range of postures, starting slow, building to a peak of energy, and slowing down to relax at the end.
Slow Flow
Our slow flow classes are vinyasa-based, but are more gentle and slow-paced than a typical vinyasa class. These classes are also a great place to start for beginners and those whose mobility may be limited.
Gentle
This class is tailored to those who want to improve their flexibility, balance and strength in a supportive environment where modifications and gentle adjustments are offered. Focusing on safe alignment and mobility, no experience is necessary, just bring yourself and a desire to move with ease.
Restorative
This class offers a deeply restful, slow-paced practice focused on complete relaxation, nervous system recovery and deep tissue release. It combines both Yin poses that target the body’s deeper connective tissues (fascia, ligaments, and joints) to improve flexibility and Restorative poses that are fully supported with props and held for extended periods to encourage the body to release tension entirely. It offers a quiet, meditative space to restore balance in both body and mind. Whether you are looking to soothe a busy brain or gently open a tight body, this class provides the stillness you need.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a very slow-paced style of yoga, in which postures are all held low to the ground, generally for 1 to 6 minutes and sometimes longer. Yin yoga targets the body’s connective tissues, designed to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. Yin is a much more restful style of yoga, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest state). Yin yoga is highly recommended to help decrease symptoms of stress and anxiety.
