free + donation-based yoga classes

Community Classes

Mondays, Fridays & Saturdays 10 to 11 AM

Step into a gentle, welcoming environment where your pace, your breath, and your story are honored. Our trauma-informed yoga class is designed to support healing, empowerment, and self-regulation through mindful movement and breathwork.

This class emphasizes safety, choice, and non-judgment, inviting you to reconnect with your body in a compassionate and empowering way. Movements are simple, grounding, and adaptable; modifications and options are offered without pressure or expectation. There’s no need for prior yoga experience—just a willingness to show up as you are.

Led by an experienced Yoga For All Movement instructor trained in trauma-sensitive practices, this class avoids triggering language, hands-on adjustments, or any pressure to perform. Instead, you'll find a space to explore stillness, reconnect with your body, and cultivate presence at your own comfort level.

Mats and other props are provided. All are welcome! 

Suggested donation: $10 (No one turned away for lack of funds)

Location: 301 Center St. Santa Cruz, CA 95060
