Yoga CLASSES
-
Chair yoga is our premier class and is by far the most popular class with our students. Why? This class will adapt a wide-range of traditional mat-based poses to the chair, giving you a variety of options on how to move the arms, torso, and lower body. No matter what physical ability you enter class with, there will ALWAYS be a modification that’s perfect for you, today, in your body. You will learn how to listen to your body and honor where you are, today. You will also learn how to explore the breath and how it affects the way you move. Meditation and pranayama (breathing practices) may also be explored. What are you waiting for?
Sitting around only makes you stiffer – so come on over to chair yoga and get that body moving!

Easy Yoga is a mat-based class that is a bit easier than a traditional mat-based class in that we use a variety of props in order for you to feel the full effects of the practice. One thing we understand at Bella Buddha is that there are as many abilities and body types as there are hairs on your head, and a one-size-fits-all model is not where it’s at. You will be given the tools and instruction to move through your practice in a safe and fun way. Our students say that Easy Yoga “ain’t so easy!” You will be invited to challenge yourself, but learn to always honor your body. A strong emphasis on balance and core strength is incorporated. And yes, as always, the chair is a wonderful prop in this class.

STRENGTH CLASSES
-
Welcome to our Chair Yoga with Weights class, a uniquely transformative fitness experience that seamlessly blends the accessibility of chair yoga with the added challenge of resistance training. This class provides a dynamic and inclusive approach to wellness.
Integrating the use of weights into the practice adds an exciting dimension to the class. You'll engage in strength-building exercises targeting various muscle groups, enhancing your overall tone and endurance. The weights are used mindfully to intensify each movement, creating a balanced and well-rounded workout that supports both strength and flexibility.
Throughout the session, you'll experience the benefits of traditional yoga—improved posture, enhanced flexibility, and a sense of calm—while simultaneously challenging yourself with the resistance of weights. The combination of these elements fosters a holistic approach to fitness that nurtures both the body and mind.
Chair Yoga with Weights is not only a physical workout but also an opportunity for mindful movement. As you flow through the sequences, you'll be encouraged to connect with your breath, bringing a sense of mindfulness to each lift and stretch. This dual focus on strength and mindfulness creates a harmonious and empowering experience for all participants.

Private classes
-
How nice would it be to take a yoga class with your friends – just your friends – on a day and time that works for you? With Pod Yoga, you can do that! Semi-private classes are now being offered at Bella Buddha. You pick the time, the style (Chair, Vinyasa, Easy, Restorative), and we’ll take care of the rest. Our space is set up to keep everyone socially distanced (6 feet apart between mats) and features a Hepa Air Purifier to keep the air you breathe safe and clean. You can breathe as deeply as your practice allows and know the air you breathe is pure. Wear something comfy, bring your own mat and any head-trips that may be harassing you that day, and we’ll get things started.
Classes are a flat $80 per week (split the cost with your pals) with a 6-week commitment (We know things come up; it’s ok to reschedule or skip a week, so don’t worry about that long-weekend getaway.) Class is 75-minutes. A list of suggested props and accessories will be emailed to you (totally optional but include things like eye pillows and essential oils . . . mmmmm =)
