Intro to Yoga:  

Step into the tranquil Behavioral Fitness studio, filled with natural light and a calm, restorative energy. From the moment you walk through the doors, feel your stress begin to melt away. 

This class is designed for those brand-new to yoga as well as anyone wishing to revisit the foundations of practice. Together we’ll explore yoga philosophy in an approachable way, learning how timeless traditions can support balance, resilience, and well-being in everyday life.

 You’ll be introduced to common Sanskrit terms for postures (āsanas) while focusing on clear alignment, safe transitions, and mindful breathing. Essential poses such as Mountain (Tāāsana), Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Śvānāsana), the Warrior series (Vīrabhadrāsana I & II), and gentle seated postures will be broken down step-by-step. Variations and modifications are always offered so each student can move at their own pace. 

Expect supportive instruction, time for questions, and a welcoming space to build strength, flexibility, and confidence as you begin—or refresh—your yoga journey. 

Why We Bring Yoga to Behavioral Fitness At Behavioral Fitness, movement has always been an essential part of wellbeing — and yoga has been at the heart of that vision since the very beginning. 

We’ve been supporting free community yoga since 2019, beginning in Arbolado Park, and now, with the support of the generous donors of PEACE (Providing Easier Access to Care Everywhere) — a registered 501(c)(3)nonprofit — we’re able to bring these offerings into our beautiful studio space. We have long believed in the transformative power of yoga. 

The research is compelling, and its value is undeniable. Yoga supports physical strength and flexibility, but just as importantly, it helps calm the nervous system, increase awareness, and cultivate balance from within. But access matters. 

Many people have never had a truly safe, welcoming place to try yoga — to learn not only the movements, but also the deeper principles of mindfulness, self-compassion, and connection that make yoga such a powerful practice. Our goal at Behavioral Fitness is to change that. 

By offering yoga and other wellness experiences at below-market rates, made possible through PEACE’s generous donors, we’re creating opportunities for people to explore movement, healing, and community in ways that are both accessible and meaningful.  

How you can help: 

• Show up — for yourself and your community. 

• Share our offerings with others so more people benefit- help spread the word - it’s the greatest gift!  

• Support PEACE and Behavioral Fitness so we can continue to grow and reach more people. 

Together, we’re building something bright, local, and deeply needed — a community of care where everyone belongs. 

Let’s build wellness like a local.
