Last month, we had the most magical time flowing and grooving at the 2025 Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival! Thank you to everyone who joined YogaRoots Movement for an unforgettable weekend of yoga, music, and connect by the bay. We couldnโ€™t have asked for a better vibe or community!

We canโ€™t wait for next year.

Fall 2025 Yoga Teacher Training ๐ŸŒŸ

Weโ€™re excited to bring back our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training this fall! YogaRoots is once again partnering with YogaWorks to offer this transformative program right here in the Baltimore/Washington area.

Held in person at our Columbia, MD studio, this training goes far beyond learning Asana. Weโ€™ll explore the heart of Yoga: its philosophy, breathwork, meditation, and how to teach with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Whether youโ€™re ready to step into the role of teacher or simply deepen your personal practice, this training is designed to support your growth, voice, and purposeโ€”on and off the mat.

โœจ Free info sessions are now openโ€”check the link in our bio to sign up and learn more.

Weโ€™ve had a string of intense heat waves lately, and as we head into the summer, we wanted to share a few seasonal adjustments we've made in the studio to ensure a comfortable and safe experience for you:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Weโ€™ve shortened our radiant heating system pre-class heating times and adjusted our cooling and air purifying systems to run longer (before and after heated classes) to cool down the space when the studio is not in use.
๐Ÿ‘‰ We have instructed our teachers to open windows during class as needed to cool the room down. However, we would like to ask that the front door remain closed to prevent the entry of outside creatures.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Stay hydrated before, during, and after class. While hot yoga has many benefits, the heat and humidity can lead to rapid fluid loss. Treat hydration as an all-day habit.

DM us if you have any questions. Together, we can keep the studio cool and safe so that you can flow with confidence all summer long!

"Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame." (B.K.S. Iyengar)

You tend to that inner flame every time you show up on your matโ€”whether for breath, movement, or stillness. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Come nurture your light with us at YogaRoots Movement. Your practice doesnโ€™t have to be perfectโ€”it just has to be yours. And weโ€™ll be here to support you, every step of the way. ๐Ÿ’›
