Welcome to your Hometown Yoga Studio!
Yoga Farm is a trauma-aware yoga studio. In practice, that means we prioritize choice, consent, and nervous-system awareness in how we teach.
In most classes, we generally do not offer hands-on assists or adjustments, and teachers often cue from their own mats. Some students love hands-on assists, and others find them uncomfortable or activating — so we aim to avoid assumptions about what is welcome.
If you prefer hands-on assistance, you’re welcome to ask your teacher. Some teachers may be able to accommodate requests, and it’s always okay if the answer is “not today.”
Our studio’s roots are in Kundalini and Qigong, so many classes may include breathwork, meditation, and subtle-body awareness alongside physical movement. If you’re looking for a workout-only power flow experience, we may not be the best fit — and we’re happy to help you find what you’re looking for.

UPCOMING EVENTS
friday, October 16th 7:15-8:30p
This 75 min Reiki ceremony is devoted entirely to receiving—an intentional pause to rest, soften, and allow yourself to be held in a field of care. Guided by Reiki Master Sabrina Trapani and Reiki practitioners Debra Delorenzo and Mar Perez, this evening becomes a gentle portal of healing, presence, and heart remembrance.
We will begin by opening the space with intention, grounding, and a gentle invocation—marking this hour as a sacred container for rest, healing, and heart connection. Reiki is a Japanese energy healing modality that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance. Through light touch or hands-off energy work, Reiki helps calm the nervous system, ease stress, support emotional release, and invite deep rest. Many experience a sense of grounding, clarity, warmth, or peace—each session meeting you exactly where you are. This ceremony invites you to receive love as medicine, allowing energy to settle and restore balance.
No prior experience is needed.
Simply bring your presence and a willingness to receive.
Saturday, October 24th 3:30-5p
Come spend a magical afternoon with Valerie creating your very own witch’s bells—a beautiful piece of handmade folk magic for your home, doorway, hearth, or sacred space.
Bells have long been used in magical traditions to clear unwanted energy, mark thresholds, call in protection, and invite blessings into a space. Together, we’ll explore the folklore and symbolism of bells and create a set that is uniquely yours.
You’ll choose from a variety of bells, charms, natural elements, ribbons, and other magical embellishments to craft a hanging bell with your own intention woven into it. We’ll talk about threshold magic, protection, intention-setting, and the everyday ways we can bring a little enchantment into our homes.
No previous witchcraft or crafting experience is needed—just bring yourself and your curiosity.
Come make something beautiful.
Come make something magical.
Come make a little noise at the threshold.
Saturday, November 14th 7-8:30p
During this 90-minute experience you'll practice a deep meditation before relaxing and opening your mind, body and spirit to the healing vibrations of the gongs and other vibrational instruments. You’ll leave feeling aligned, open to possibility, and deeply at peace.
During a gong meditation, participants are immersed in a symphony of resonant tones and vibrations, which can help induce a state of profound relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote mental clarity. The complex and harmonious soundscapes created by the gongs are believed to facilitate a natural healing process, aiding in the release of physical and emotional tension, while also encouraging a heightened sense of introspection and mindfulness. Gong meditations can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking an alternative form of meditation that engages multiple senses and offers a path to inner peace and holistic well-being.
Participants can expect to be seated and lying down during the event according to each person’s comfort level. Wear clothes that allow the body to rest comfortably, bring any props you may need and a water bottle
Sunday, November 22nd 5:30-7 p
LivAvtar will lead you through the blissful practice of Kirtan chanting, sharing original songs from her years as a mantra singer and recording artist, as well as popular songs by artists like Krishna Das and Snatam Kaur.
As participants, you are invited to chant along, drop into a profound state of meditation, and/or move to the music as you feel inspired.
Kirtan chanting is a soulful musical practice involving the repetition of mantras from different traditions accompanied by simple melodies. Participants engage in call and response singing, creating a communal and meditative state of flow and connection. Kirtan transcends cultural and religious boundaries, attracting people from different backgrounds who are seeking a meditative and heart-opening experience.
