Start Where You Are: Yoga Foundations with Ryan Spence.


Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or wanting to feel more confident in your practice, Start Where You Are is a four-week series designed to help you build strength, clarity, and ease as you discover the foundations of the physical practice of yoga.

Over four 60-minute classes, we’ll break down some common poses in a relaxed, welcoming space. You’ll learn how to move through key poses safely, explore simple breathwork, and start tuning into how your body likes to move.

Expect a mix of mindfulness, a little challenge, and moments that make you smile. Each class builds on the previous one and is an invitation to connect, explore, and leave feeling a little taller, calmer, and more alive.

As you build strength and awareness in your body, you might start to notice something else too — a sense of space, steadiness, and presence that begins to ripple into the rest of life. That’s where the real magic of yoga begins.
