Yoga is not a set of beliefs, but a practice that invites us to live more fully and with greater awareness. Through the movement of the body and the rhythm of the breath, we create space for the mind to find calm. Asana (the poses) is one way we explore this—gently guiding the body into stillness so the mind can follow. With each movement, we begin to cultivate mindfulness both on and off the mat, noticing the subtle shifts in how we move, how we breathe, and how we engage with the world around us. Yoga isn’t just about physical practice—it’s about discovering a deeper connection to ourselves, and to each other.

Not at all! Yoga is for every body, and there is no expectation for you to be flexible or have prior experience. Yoga is about meeting yourself where you are and cultivating mindfulness and connection through breath and movement. We all have a unique path, and we’re here to guide and support you on yours. We offer classes for all experience levels, and our instructors are here to guide you every step of the way. Our goal is to meet you where you are and help you build your practice at a pace that feels right for you. You’ll always be encouraged to listen to your body, take breaks when needed, and practice with kindness.

We’re so grateful that you’re curious about Yoga. Healing is a lifelong journey, and Yoga offers a gentle, powerful way to find alignment and peace within yourself. If you're unsure whether it’s the right path for you, we’d love to invite you to our Community Open House, offered for free once a month. It’s a chance to explore the space, experience a brief class, and be introduced to the practice of Yoga, meditation, and breathwork. After the class, we take the time to answer any questions, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported in whatever decision you make, with absolutely zero pressure to commit. Outside of the community open house, we also offer drop-in classes for $20 (or on the sliding scale) and class packages, so you can explore different offerings and find the practice that feels right for you. If you have questions, please reach out!

Just bring yourself and wear something comfortable you can move in. Be mindful when choosing what to wear that you may be in flexible poses (possibly upside down). We have mats and props available if you don't have your own. You are welcome to bring a water bottle to help you stay hydrated, though we have water and cups available at the studio as well. The most important thing is to arrive as you are—no need for special equipment or fancy gear.

While we’re always happy to welcome drop-ins, we do recommend signing up in advance through our FitDegree portal to reserve your spot. If you’re interested in financial assistance, it’s helpful to complete the form and your portal registration ahead of time, as it can take a bit of time to make adjustments within the system. If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!

We offer a variety of pricing options to make Yoga accessible for all. Single class drop-ins are $20, and we also offer packages to explore different classes and find what resonates with you. If cost is a concern, we offer a sliding scale for nearly all of our offerings, to help along the way. We also provide the option to make a donation to support our mission, if that feels right for you. For more information, please check out our pricing page.

We happily accept payments for classes and courses through the FitDegree portal, where you can easily sign up for our offerings. If you prefer, we also accept personal checks and cash in person. If you feel called to support Heart Space’s mission, donations can be made online at the bottom of our payments page, or in person by check or cash at the studio. Every contribution helps us continue creating a space of healing and connection for all.

We believe that yoga and wellness should be available to everyone, no matter their financial situation. If the current pricing feels out of reach, we invite you to fill out our financial assistance form. This helps us understand your needs, and we’ll do our best to find a solution that works for you.

Rest assured, your responses will be kept confidential and shared only between Andrea and the studio’s financial aid coordinator. After submitting the form, please allow up to 3 business days for us to get in touch and discuss how we can support you.

We understand that life can get busy, and some may feel more comfortable practicing from home. While we’re committed to making our in-person classes as accessible as possible, we’re excited to be rolling out on-demand Zoom classes, offering you the flexibility to practice anytime, wherever you are. All you’ll need is an internet connection and Zoom. If you’re unsure which class or time might be the best fit for you, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help guide you.

Please note, this offering is still in the works, and we plan to introduce these changes in Spring 2025. Thank you for your patience as we work to make this available to you.

Heart Space is wheelchair accessible, and we’re dedicated to creating a studio that welcomes everyone. Many of our teachers are trauma-informed, and all of our instructors have studied the human body to be mindful of things like chronic pain and physical limitations.

If you have any health concerns or injuries, please speak with your instructor before class so they can offer modifications to ensure your practice is safe and supportive. Yoga is meant to be nurturing, and we are here to help you practice in a way that feels good for your body.

At this time, masking is optional in the studio, but if you're feeling unwell, we ask that you please join us via Zoom or return the following week to keep our community safe. We maintain a clean, sanitary space with a HEPA filter running at all times.

We understand that some of our community members may have access needs, be immunocompromised, or prefer to practice from home. To support this, we’re in the process of adding Zoom classes, with plans to introduce hybrid classes in Spring 2025. This way, everyone can continue their practice safely and comfortably, regardless of their circumstances.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—we’re here to support you in any way we can. Your comfort and accessibility are so, so important!
