Our Products

About our products.

As yoga instructors, we know exactly what our students need in their gear. That’s why we set out to create beautiful equipment to elevate your practice.

Why cork? It’s slip-resistant, provides the perfect blend of comfort & support, and absorbs sweat to help you get the best possible workout you can while on the mat. Cork is also naturally anti-microbial and comes from a sustainable, renewable source. We should mention that it looks amazing too!

About our teaching style

Fitness focus.

Body By Yoga focuses on the physical benefits of yoga to help you move better, feel better, and perform better. Our anatomy-based, technique-driven classes are created for functional strength, mobility, weight loss, rest day recovery, injury rehabilitation, pain relief, and more!

Created for the inflexible.

Every class provides modifications for anyone who can’t touch their toes. Great for those who are brand new to fitness as well as anyone who works out and has tight muscles.

Straight to the point instructions.

Mindfulness matters. It can help improve your focus, your game, and your inner calm. That being said, we focus on the physical benefits of yoga instead of the spiritual. We’ll guide you with specific anatomy-based tips like which muscles to engage and where you should (and shouldn’t) be feeling each exercise.

Part workout, part physical therapy session, and part educational experience.

Our classes are a workout first and foremost, no matter the level, but you’ll also learn the benefits of every pose while you practice. You’ll never wonder if you’re doing a pose correctly, or why you’re doing it in the first place.

Targeted routines for every goal.

Instead of a one size fits all approach to yoga, we have different classes for specific goals. Need yoga for back pain? Check. Looking for a short morning workout? Check. Yoga for running? For weight loss? For recovering in between workouts? Yep, we have those too. Select the yoga class that matches your goals and level of fitness.

Our unique style of yoga

Slow Power Burn Yoga.

We’ve created a unique style of yoga called Slow Burn Power Yoga which combines Hatha, Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Power Yoga with bodyweight exercises and physical therapy.

Many yoga classes are vinyasa based and tend to focus almost exclusively on the breath during faster moving cardio-like flows. With less time for cues in between poses, there is less attention to proper muscle engagement. Instead, we recognize that most of our students can get better cardio from walking, running, and sports.

That’s why our classes move a little slower and emphasize proper technique above all else in order to give you the time to open up your muscles, find the right modifications and adjustments, and work deeper into challenging poses.

Meet Paul.

Paul, a Body By Yoga co-founder, is living proof that yoga can help you go from couch potato to workout addict. Paul got started with Body By Yoga after trying out numerous yoga studios, but never feeling comfortable with group classes. Searching for a way to lose weight and build strength around a chronic back injury, Paul helped launch Body By Yoga to bring the many benefits of yoga to everyone—regardless of fitness level! Nowadays, there’s no fitness activity that Paul won’t try and he continues to push his body in new ways everyday.

⚠️ WARNING!⚠️

We want to keep you safe!

Please consult your physician, assess your fitness level, and follow all safety instructions before beginning any exercise program, nutrition plan, and/or using any equipment.

Body By Yoga provides a variety of exercise programs, some of which are physically demanding and high-intensity in nature. For this reason, you must listen to your body, use common sense, take breaks, and hydrate as needed to avoid injury. If at any time you feel any discomfort, pain, dizziness, light-headedness, shortness of breath, or nausea, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician. Incorrect or excessive training can result in serious injury or death.

When doing any outdoor workouts or activities, be aware of your surroundings and avoid anything that could hurt you or disrupt your exercise, especially when walking or running in public areas such as sidewalks and streets.

If you have any unique or special medical conditions, such as if you’re pregnant, have diabetes or asthma, or if you have a history of knee, ankle, hip, shoulder or spinal (back or neck) problems, you must consult your physician to understand all potential risks and complications of using our exercise programs, nutrition plans, and/or equipment, and receive approval from them to proceed before beginning. Failure to do so could result in significant injury to you and others (including, if applicable, your unborn child). By engaging in any exercise program, nutrition plan, and/or using any equipment, you assume all dangers, hazards and risks of injury or death.

SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT

FITNESS EQUIPMENT PRESENTS HAZARDS WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

Certain programs may utilize equipment, such as yoga mats, yoga blocks, yoga straps, chairs, foam rollers, and other equipment which, if not used correctly, could lead to serious injury or death. Carefully review all safety, care and use instructions and manuals prior to beginning.

For your safety, you must:

Use any equipment shown in the workouts only as demonstrated, using proper form.
Inspect any equipment for wear or damage prior to each use and refrain from using any equipment that appears damaged, worn or defective.
Keep children, pets and any other obstacles away from equipment and exercise area at all times.
Always use a secure, proper, and stable anchor for any equipment that requires hanging or attaching.
Always exercise caution during use of any equipment to make sure you do not lose your grip or control, such as making sure your hands are not wet or sweaty.
Ensure exercise bands are firmly secure and assembled to prevent slipping, snapping, recoiling and injury to yourself or anyone else.
Ensure your workout bench and pull up bar is stable, strong enough to hold your weight and does not move during use. If you do not think you can safely perform exercises with your bench or pull up bar, or you do not have the proper equipment, you should do the modifier exercises instead.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Body By Yoga and its parent, affiliate, and subsidiary companies will not be liable to any person or entity for any injury, death, damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by any exercise programs, workouts, nutritional supplements or plans, equipment (including without limitation the Body By Yoga mat and Body By Yoga blocks), advice or any other products, services or materials.
