Come Home to Yourself 

 

Yoga is a practice, not a destination!  At OWY we offer classes in a variety of yoga styles and include an organic mix of ancient and modern practices. Every Body is Welcome! 

Purpose

Open Way Yoga is a gathering place for people interested in yoga, mindful movement, holistic health, self-healing, and the arts.

the history of yoga

Yoga is a movement form with a very long, rich history that originated and still thrives in India. A variety of forms of Yoga came to the United States in several waves over the 1900’s and Yoga has continued to evolve to meet the needs of modern bodies and minds.

Mission

OWY’s mission is to create an affirming community passionate about using the traditions, evolution, and philosophy of yoga and other movement forms as tools for growth and self-healing.  

Our goal is to bring all kinds of people together to move as a group, to inspire self-awareness practices, and to create shared authentic experiences that inspire each student to discover personal paths to well-being.

 

We are open to ALL at Open Way Yoga.

Inclusivity

Diverse communities are the key to healing individuals and the world. We are working to create an environment where all people can come together for shared, authentic experiences. Currently, our studios and the yoga community at large lack diversity. We acknowledge this and are passionate about evolving into a community that represents and affirms all. We welcome people of any age, race, ethnicity, body type, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status and religious or political affiliation. At Open Way Yoga, we’re committed to holding the space for ALL people to discover their own personal paths of self-healing.
