At GrassROOTS Wellness, we offer more than yoga—we offer a comprehensive approach to whole-body and whole-person health. Our work is rooted in compassion, education, and evidence-informed practice, blending the wisdom of yoga with the science of movement and wellness.

🧘♀️ Yoga & Therapeutic Movement
What is yoga?
Yoga is an ancient practice that combines gentle movement, breath awareness, and mindful focus to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It’s not about flexibility or strength alone—it’s about cultivating balance, calm, and connection within your body and mind. Yoga can be adapted for any age or ability, making it accessible to everyone.
What Types of Yoga Do You Offer?
At GrassROOTS Wellness, we offer a full spectrum of accessible yoga classes—from gentle chair and restorative Yin to dynamic Vinyasa and strength-based flows. Each class is thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are, supporting every phase of life with safe, evidence-based movement and mindful guidance. Here is our current class schedule featuring the many class types we offer.
Can I attend class after surgery or with a chronic condition?
Yes—if your doctor or medical team has cleared you to return to activity.
Many members join us after completing physical therapy or medical rehabilitation. Our classes offer a safe, supportive bridge between clinical recovery and independent movement, helping you rebuild strength, balance, and confidence.
For those managing chronic conditions, our instructors thoughtfully adapt postures and pacing to meet your current capacity and comfort level.
While we are not a substitute for medical care, we are often a trusted next step—or complementary option—for continued healing and well-being.
Do I need to bring my own mat or props?
You’re welcome to bring your own, though we provide clean mats, straps, and blocks for all classes.

🌿 Assisted Stretching
What is assisted stretching?
Assisted stretching is a therapeutic one-on-one session where a practitioner gently guides your body through safe, anatomically informed stretches.
This work helps release muscular tension, restore range of motion, and improve joint alignment—especially beneficial after surgery, long periods of inactivity, or limited flexibility.
Our practitioners’ deep knowledge of functional anatomy ensures your session is both effective and restorative.

🔔 Sound Therapy
What is sound therapy?
Sound therapy uses tonal vibration—from crystal bowls, chimes, and gongs—to calm the nervous system and guide the body into a parasympathetic (rest-and-heal) state.
The experience encourages deep relaxation, clarity, and renewal, often improving sleep and easing stress patterns.

Sleep quality & energy balance
Nutrition & digestion
Movement & recovery
Stress response & emotional regulation
Relationships & daily habits
Self-care practices & boundaries
What is functional and integrative health coaching?
Our coaches and practitioners help identify root causes of imbalance by looking at your whole story, not just symptoms.

What are Ayurvedic consultations?
Ayurveda, an ancient yet clinically relevant system of holistic medicine, helps identify your unique constitution (“dosha”) and how it shapes digestion, mood, and resilience.
Through nutrition, herbal guidance, and daily routines, Ayurvedic consultations complement modern functional medicine to create a balanced, individualized healing plan.
Do you coordinate care with medical providers?
Yes. We maintain a referral network of doctors, physical therapists, and allied health professionals who share our commitment to evidence-based wellness.
When appropriate, we collaborate or refer out so every client receives the most complete and responsible care.
