Bloom Yoga & Wellness

Bloom Yoga & Wellness Bloom into wellness! Yoga for EVERYbody--gentle, mixed-level, prenatal, private & small-group class Besides, cool-looking poses isn’t what yoga is about.

Beth Sforza Yazell is the owner/operator of Bloom Yoga & Wellness. She is a dual-certified yoga instructor and has been teaching yoga continuously since 1979. She is a Registered Nurse, holds a Master’s Degree in Health Services Administration, and is certified inThai Yoga Massage and wellness coaching. Beth strives to make yoga accessible to people of all ages, sizes, and levels of ability or experience. She offers prenatal yoga, gentle yoga, mixed-level classes, and even yoga seated in a chair. It is common to see images of advanced hatha yoga (the poses) in magazines and on TV and become intimidated, because people think, “I could never do that.” Fortunately, it’s not necessary to. Probably only about 10% of the human populace could ever hope to attain what these images represent. Yoga is an experience of non-judgmental self-exploration, which can assist people in attaining their highest potential. As such, classes at Bloom move slowly, with emphasis on complete breathing and inward focus. Beth begins by guiding students to re-learn how it feels to relax. With our hectic lives, many of us have forgotten what relaxation feels like. The only time we’re truly relaxed is when we’re asleep, and then we’re unconscious, so we still don’t know how it feels. And, we pay a steep price—our health and well-being! Chronic stress is a factor in many of the illnesses plaguing us, diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and autoimmune diseases, as well as mood disorders like depression and anxiety. When we break the stress cycle through relaxation techniques, the level of hormones our bodies produce in response to stress decreases. We remove one factor from the equation that can result in disease. In 2010, Beth co-authored a study at Syracuse University, which was published in the August, 2012 edition of The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, examining the effect of yoga practice on people with asthma. Since coming into the public domain, this study has been cited in numerous scientific articles, and its methods and findings have been included in teacher training programs specializing in yoga therapeutics. Beth believes yoga is a powerful catalyst for a healthy lifestyle and utilizes an integrative approach to educate and empower people in taking responsibility for their own health and wellness. There is something transformational that happens to people when they practice yoga regularly. Many students become vitally interested in feeling as good as they do after a yoga class, and they adopt lifestyle habits that culminate in living healthier, more satisfying lives.

So Much Happening at Bloom!

So...Where to Begin?

The Bloom hive mind has been busy crafting both additions to our class offerings as well as special events!

The rundown:
Saturday, 1/24/26 is Bloom Appreciation Day! Please join me for the 9 AM class free o' charge--come one, come all (especially old friends who haven't visited in a while) :)
Beginning in March, join Chris for a weekly t'ai chi class! I've had many requests for this over the years, and I'm so pleased to put this on the schedule--stay tuned!
Shailene's Inner Flame Series is a three-part (2/1/26--Imbolc, 2/28/26--Welcoming the Year of the Horse, 3/28/26--Ostara) seasonal workshop experience rooted in cyclical wisdom, creative ritual, and intentional presence. Guided by the turning of the seasons, we gather to tend the inner flame; the quiet spark of intuition, creativity, and becoming.
Saturday, 2/14/26--Yoga for Love is a celebration of loving connection through partner yoga. This practice involves two people using each other for support and balance, fostering deep trust, communication, and connection. It is suitable for friends, couples, or family members, always emphasizing mutual support and attentiveness to a partner's needs. Tickets are available for 10 partner pairs.
Saturday, 3/21/26--Blooming Into Spring ~ Rituals for Awakening the Earth ~ Join Shailene, Jimbo, and me for this immersive, experiential welcoming of Spring for the Earth and ourselves. We will plant seeds of intention (and actual seeds) through our opening ritual, bubble up with renewed vigor through drumming, and unleash our joy through dance!
Coming to celebrate Mother's Day (watch for the date) ~ I Remember Her ~ a gathering for women of all ages to connect, reflect, and embody the mother energy through gentle movement and breathwork, storytelling and reflection, sharing of memories, et al.

We would love to share these practices with you! Here is the registration/payment link: https://www.momoyoga.com/bloom-yoga-and-wellness/events We thank you sincerely for your friendship and for being part of our Bloom community!

Dear Ones,

I paused this morning to contemplate the inumerable blessed moments I've experienced over the years of teaching yoga--so many connections, friendships, and no small measure of magic! I am honored to attempt to bring some light into the world, and I sincerely thank you all for being part of that vision.

The Bloom teachers and I hope to practice with you frequently as we explore new beginnings and nurture ourselves and each other--body, mind, and spirit!

Deeply grateful,

Beth
