Boulder Bodyworks Yoga is for students of all ages and fitness levels.  Our small, intimate classes range from beginning level to the more advanced and provide comprehensive instruction in this mental, spiritual, and physical practice.

Yoga is an extraordinary science of self-development and self-realization aimed at cultivating our fullest potential for well being within our many-faceted lives. First developed in ancient India thousands of years ago, the profound wisdom and benefits of this practice have been passed down through generations of dedicated teachers and students all over the world. Yoga is both a philosophy and a physical practice integrated in order to bring about deep harmony and balance to our body, mind and spirit. Although many yogic lineages exist, such as Core Power Yoga, Bikram’s Yoga, Anusara Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, and many others, our methodology takes from many lineages to blend a unique style that is strong yet gentle, and adaptable to the needs of the diverse client population we serve. The methods of yoga, such as physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation offer each of us the opportunity to awaken an inherent capacity for feeling fully alive in our bodies, open in our minds, generous in our hearts and vibrant in our spirits.


The way yoga is practiced has tremendous impact on both the body and the mind:

Forward bends are calming and soothing encouraging introspection. They nourish the digestive and reproductive systems and relax the adrenals.

Backbends are energizing and uplifting as they unfold and open the body, and encourage extroversion. They nourish the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems and balance the thymus, adrenal and thyroid glands.

Sidebends are energizing and aligning. They nourish the circulatory and respiratory systems and open up more space for the breath.

Inversions are restorative and soothing. They nourish the circulatory system and remove strain from the body and mind. In addition, they balance the pineal, pituitary and thyroid glands.

Twists are cleansing, detoxifying and integrating as they balance introversion and extroversion, right and left sides of the body and brain, logic and intuition. They nourish the digestive system and balance the adrenal, gonad and thyroid glands.

The classes at Boulder Bodyworks include poetic imagery and philosophical insight that help guide students to a deeper level of experience and understanding in their bodies. Ahimsa, a Sanskrit term defined as non-violence or the opposite of hostility, is often explored in classes asking each student to practice without aggression and to cultivate compassion for their bodies, the circumstances of their lives and their own unique journey of transformation.

Boulder Bodyworks is committed to providing a warm, friendly, non-intimidating environment for students of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels. All of our classes are limited to eight to students, creating an intimate environment with detailed personal feedback and gentle hands on adjustment to support each student’s practice.

Private Sessions
In addition to group classes, private yoga sessions are available and recommended for individuals looking to deepen their existing practice. Therapeutic private yoga sessions are recommended for individuals recovering from injuries, dealing with chronic pain, structural misalignment or any other specific need. Private sessions are interactive and collaborative through which self-care programs are mindfully designed to help students continue their practice at home. Yoga therapy can sometimes be a covered benefit with healthcare plans. Please contact Boulder Bodyworks for more information about private sessions and booking availability.

Private Yoga and Massage Combination Sessions
If you are looking to deepen your yoga practice or treat injury while experiencing a new level of relaxation, we offer a customized private session with the option to include massage. These sessions address the specific needs of your body and more fully integrate the benefits of your practice. Once muscles have been awakened in the yoga practice, they will be more receptive to deeply therapeutic touch. We suggest a 90 minute session for this combination, allowing plenty of time for thorough instruction, as well as space to fully address your needs through bodywork. Massage may be done Shiatsu style (fully clothed on a mat) or on the table, according to your preference.

Vinyasa Flow “flowing with the breath”, or “vinyasa” practice. Vinyasa is the unique linking of one Asana (or pose) to the next in a serpentine flow of breath and movement. Linking asanas in this way creates balance. A balance of strength and flexibility, lightness and heaviness, movement and stillness. The practice includes a wide variety of standing postures, balancing postures, inversions, and seated floor poses. With thoughtful sequencing and upbeat music, this class encourages the body and breath to move with fluidity, strength, and grace. Meditation and breath work are strong components of the mind, body, spirit connection and are emphasized in this class.
