Vinyasa Flow at Behavioral Fitness

Welcome your day and the sun with Vinyasa Flow! Vinyasa means “to place in a special way”. This 50 minute class coordinates breath with movement while addressing flexibility, balance, strength, and endurance. A gentle warm up will slowly build through Sun Salutations, a peak pose and a quiet Savasana. This class is a mixed-level class which means it is suitable for active beginners to advanced practitioners. Modifications and props are offered to make the class accessible to students of multiple levels. See you on the mat!

Why We Bring Yoga to Behavioral Fitness

At Behavioral Fitness, movement has always been an essential part of wellbeing — and yoga has been at the heart of that vision since the very beginning. We’ve been supporting free community yoga since 2019, beginning in Arbolado Park, and now, with the support of the generous donors of PEACE (Providing Easier Access to Care Everywhere) — a registered 501(c)(3)nonprofit — we’re able to bring these offerings into our beautiful studio space.

We have long believed in the transformative power of yoga. The research is compelling, and its value is undeniable. Yoga supports physical strength and flexibility, but just as importantly, it helps calm the nervous system, increase awareness, and cultivate balance from within.

Access matters. Many people have never had a truly safe, welcoming place to try yoga — to learn not only the movements, but also the deeper principles of mindfulness, self-compassion, and connection that make yoga such a powerful practice.

Our goal at Behavioral Fitness is to change that. By offering yoga and other wellness experiences at below-market rates, made possible through PEACE’s generous donors, we’re creating opportunities for people to explore movement, healing, and community in ways that are both accessible and meaningful.

How you can help:

• Show up — for yourself and your community.

• Share our offerings with others so more people benefit- help spread the word - it’s the greatest gift!

• Support PEACE and Behavioral Fitness so we can continue to grow and reach more people.

Together, we’re building something bright, local, and deeply needed — a community of care where everyone belongs.

Let’s build wellness like a local.
