Gentle Yoga: Move with Kindness, Feel Better
These classes are all about slowing down. Perfect if you’re feeling run down, recovering from something, or simply looking for a little more calm in your week.
In each session, we focus on easy movements and breathing techniques that soothe the body and mind. There’s no rush, no pressure. Just space to move gently, breathe deeply, and feel grounded.
Many people tell us they leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more centered because when we move with care, our bodies and minds respond.
New to yoga? No worries. These classes are designed to be accessible. We adapt the practice to suit your needs so you can move safely and comfortably.

- Easing aches and pains
- Supporting recovery

Yoga Class for Beginners: A Gentle Start
If you’re brand new to yoga, our five-week beginners’ course is the perfect place to start. It’s a friendly, step-by-step introduction to the core elements of yoga—simple postures, breathwork, and gentle movement. Our yoga class for beginners introduces you to the core poses, breathwork, and flow that make up a yoga practice.
Each week builds on the last, so you can explore at your own pace. We’ll guide you through basic stretches that wake up the spine, shoulders, hips, and legs, while also introducing how breath and movement can flow together.
No experience required—just your curiosity and willingness to learn something new.
You’ll learn:
- Foundational yoga poses
- Safe alignment techniques
- How to connect movement with breath
- Stretches for tight or tired areas
- How to relax and feel more at ease in your body
Yoga for Every Body: Inclusive and Supportive
At Bay Yoga, we truly believe yoga is for everyone—regardless of age, shape, size, or flexibility. That’s why our Yoga for Every Body sessions are designed to be inclusive and adaptable.
We use props and supportive tools to make sure every pose feels good and works for your body. There’s no pressure to look a certain way or hit the “perfect” pose. It’s all about how the movement feels.
What we focus on:
- Grounding: feel steady and supported
- Expansion: open up and create space
- Balance: find stability, even in motion
- Rhythm: move in time with your breath
- Alignment: feel at ease in each posture
- Breathing: brings calm and focus
