What is the Bella Prāṇa Collective?
The Bella Prāṇa Collective believes that wellness shouldn’t be a luxury, that wholeness cannot exist without equity, and that every person deserves access to healing experiences.
We have been serving our community for over a decade. We are a gathering place, a collective of people who participate in their own healing and celebrate each other as we are. We are powered by the vision of a world filled with compassion and built on equity. We seek to be awakened through the ancient healing practices of yoga and meditation gifted to us by the ancestors of India and yogis all over the world. We aren’t interested in anything less than your imperfect self, because we all have things to give, and things to unlearn. We are driven by curiosity, reject the pursuit of perfection, and will boldly speak to anything that does not foster community. It does not matter who you are, how you identify, where you are from, what you do or who you love. As you are in this moment, and every version you will become – we want to be your home.
Integrity – earning our community’s trust by keeping our word. Because we are humans, we promise to make it right if we mess up.
Humility – all people who walk through our doors are asked to come as they are physically, mentally and emotionally. We welcome the swagger of a good hair day and the tears of a hot mess.
Inclusivity – our space is for any and all persons interested in love, growth, health and connection. Nothing less than radical acceptance will be welcome in our space.
Service – we are a place of healing, dedicated to caring for every being that walks through our doors. We are committed to providing a variety of experiences intended to serve you at every stage of life.

How should I dress?
You should dress comfortably! You will be kicking off your shoes once you arrive in the lobby. We suggest a shirt that is fitted enough it won’t fall over your head if you bend over. For your shorts or pants, choose a pair that you can lift your leg up comfortably and not flash your neighbor.
I'm a beginner - what should I take?
We have Beginner/Yoga 101 classes multiple times a week, but you can also attend any of the classes that are named Gentle, Stress Relief, or Yin Yoga. Once you take 2 or 3 of the beginner specific classes you will know if you feel comfortable and would like to increase the difficulty. You can then move into a Flow Level 1, Flow Level 2 or Hot 26, and finally into Power or Hot Power which are more advanced classes. Advanced doesn’t mean a newbie can’t attend, just be sure you are ready not to take yourself too seriously.
If you would like to try a hot yoga class, but are somewhat new to yoga, we suggest you start with the Hot 26 class as it is more beginners level in difficulty. But please arrive very hydrated, as this class is 106 degrees. A Hot Power class is 98 degrees, although postures and transitions will be a bit more challenging. No matter what you take the most important thing is that you remember everything is optional and rest whenever needed.
As a beginner it is normal to sometimes feel confused as you are in shapes that are new to your body, you may need to look around at others, and you might feel tight and wobbly. Totally normal! Stick with it, you will leave feeling amazing.

Props are items that support you in a yoga posture such as a blanket, block, or bolster. Instructors will let you know what you may need, and you will have access to all of these items throughout class to ensure you are fully supported. You are not expected to know how to use them, we will help guide you. We also love when you ask us questions – please don’t hesitate.

At 5 minutes prior to class walk in’s will be given any open spots. Our studios are a good size, so most classes have no trouble accommodating walk in students.

What is meditation?
Meditation is the science of using breath and awareness to cultivate a calm focused energy that allows us to be in the present moment and re-define how we interact with our thoughts. Meditation utilizes specific breathing techniques to calm the nervous system, lower blood pressure, increase oxygenation, and still the mind. At Bella Prāṇa meditation is foundational to everything we do. Because of this, you will experience breath coaching and varying amounts of meditation in every class. To allow you to grow further in this practice we offer multiple forms of meditation classes for you to choose from.
Different meditation styles?
Whenever you are curious about a class on our schedule you can expand the class description to learn more about your class and instructor.
For meditation here is a brief description of the styles available to you at Bella Prāṇa.
Meditation 101 – In this monthly class you will learn the basics of how to sit and support your body, how to breath, and tips for visualization and relaxation. You will learn verbally from your teacher and then have time to practice.
Yoga Nidra – In Yoga Nidra you will lay back with props and blankets and be walked through a specific verbal guided meditation for about 45 minutes. This is also referred to as “yogic sleep” and provides a deep level of rest.
Guided Relaxation Meditation – During this experience a teacher will help you get comfortable with props and you will lay back and enjoy different visualizations and breath coaching . Yoga Nidra has a specific script and style, where guided meditations can be different experiences each time.
Reiki Meditation – Any class with Reiki means that you will be laying back and energy healers will use the energetic subtle body by hovering their hands over parts of the body to promote healing and the movement of stagnant energy.
What level I should take?
When you are looking at the schedule you can expand more details about each class. All of our classes are open to all levels, you just have to be willing to rest if needed and modify postures as needed for your body.
We think a sense of humor is required in yoga. You can always ask your instructor for help if needed. In terms of difficulty our beginners, restorative, gentle and yin classes are more grounding and less intensive.
Then our flow level 1 is an intermediate class, and our flow level 2 is slightly more challenging and will introduce you to more difficult poses or transitions.
Our Power classes and Hot classes are more advanced but are still open for all levels to try.
Hot 26 is not an extremely advanced class, some consider it great for beginners, but it is about 106 degrees so please be well hydrated if you choose to attend.
The only way to find your favorite classes is to try, so please come check out different levels and styles and we will help you every step of the way!
What is hot yoga?
Hot Yoga classes are held in a heated room to help the body detoxify and warmth can help to aid in stretching and rehabilitation. Our Hot Yoga classes are heated to around 90-100 degrees. The Hot 26 class is a set series of 26 poses, so each class has identical posture. In Hot 26 the room is heated to 104 – 106 degrees. Hot classes are not for every personality or body type but are beloved by many students. If you would like to try a hot yoga class we suggest you arrive well hydrated, bring additional water, and avoid caffeine previous to your class. We hope you will come try it out and our staff is there to help guide you and be sure you have everything you need.
What does Bella Prāṇa mean?
“Bella” is Italian for beautiful and “Prāṇa” is Sanskrit for energy. Bella Prāṇa means “Beautiful Energy” and represents our intention to create a warm, welcoming and healing space where you can experience yourself at a deeper level.
Kids in adult classes?
