Grassroots Yoga

Welcome to A Yogi Kitchen's Delicious Yoga community! 

Our mission is to create community and help you to connect mind/body/spirit while showing up with your whole self.  


We believe that yoga should be accessible to all, so all of our regular and Pop-Up classes are donation-based. 


A donation should be whatever works in your budget.  Some students pay once a month, once a pay-period or each time they take a class. We're pretty flexible around here. 


It all adds up and helps pay me for my time, keeps the lights on and the wifi glitch-free.  Part of your donation helps us cook for people in our community. Join the newsletter to stay up to date with our yoga schedule, our community efforts and our monthly focus.

Our Word Is Non-Judgment

First, I'd like to apologize for whatever was going on on this page.  


But now, let's talk about Ease! It's our new word for this new session. Our session is running till Feb 14. Got love in your heart? We're going to focus on how to sink into it with Ease! 


Ease is my word, with you, for the month. It's also my word for the year. II never share my word, so that feels a little vulnerable, but I'll power through!  I am craving some Ease. 


I talked about this in the podcast and the blog 

he class schedule is a little lighter, but I'm always, always happy to teach a Pop-Up  ANYTIME. Pop-Ups are my favorite classes to teach.  


At the end of the month there is a Pizza Party Fundraiser that will affect the schedule that week. Stay tuned to see how that works. Doors open for the

The Right Class For You

Community Yoga

My favorite way to practice ANYTHING is in a group. I developed this class, first and foremost, to create community and increase your sense of connection. Connection is good for you, and me,  mind/body/spirit and a yoga class is a very non committal, simple way to share energy with others. 


The two Community Yoga classes are all-level and I highly suggest them for beginning yogis. There's always beginning poses for if you're new to yoga, but also for you to reconnect with the basics.  I always offer lots of variations and alternatives, so if you want to make this class more gentle you can, or more challenging you can.  It's your practice, you get to choose how you want to feel. 


Slow Flow

An invigorating all-level practice that invites you to gently move from pose to pose, pausing to focus on your breath. Slow Flow helps you connect to the present moment. It strengthens, tones and defines you as well as invites you to sink deeply into longer stretches. 


Each practice is a bit different, depending on our focus for the session. This Fall our intention is to connect with Joy, so expect a lot of heart-opening and deep stretches. Last session we focused on the word Strong and we'll continue some of that work se ex[ect to see some leg, arm and core transformation in September and October.  

Restorative Yoga

Years ago my teacher said to me, "Melissa, no one needs to be taught to push themselves. They need to learn to slow down." -Suzanne Chapek.


I've held that close to my heart and developed this class for you. Restorative Yoga teaches you to be still and present in the moment. It's the most delicious.


Perfect for beginners for its ease and accessibility, sometimes slowing down and getting quiet is also the advanced work. 


Mr. BKS Iyengar brought restorative yoga to US teachers and I was lucky enough to study with Judith Lasater, one of his students. She was one of the first yogis to introduce restorative yoga to mainstream classes.  She drove home the idea that Restorative Yoga is not for the sick or weak, it's an important part of every yogi's yoga life. 


Join us for peace, healing, relaxation and comfort.  Yoga props, like blankets and bolsters are helpful, but you can use household items, like beach towels, bed pillows, couch cushions and blankets to feel grounded and heal. 

Lay Down And Roll Around Yoga

An easy, breezy class for absolutely any level practitioner. You'll spend most of the class on your back. For a short while you'll do sitting poses and be on your hands and knees before returning to your back. 


You'll work the tension of the week out of every muscle in your body and lubricate your joints. You'll feel mentally energized, inspired and motivated to end the week well,. 


Increase circulation, detoxify and settle your mind. Love this idea? Text 785-76-5412 to request when it works for you!  If you can't make Saturday morning, you can have it ANYTIME you want it. Just ask. 


Gentle Wake Up Yoga

Wake Up Yoga helps increases circulation with breath work which helps your brain wake up and be steady and focused for your day. Physically you'll warm up, stretch and release any tightness and tension from sleeping in unhelpful positions. 


Are you just needing a little push for your day?  This is the perfect class to help you learn more about yoga as well as set you up for success, whenever you request it. 


You'll leave this class feeling energized and  relaxed at the same time. Does that sound antithetical?  Join us and see how those two things can be true at the same time. 

Yin Yoga

This was a regular class that has moved into the requestable classes category.  I love teaching it, so if it resonates with youSlow down and be gentle with yourself. While this is a simple, slow class that everyone can do, it's also a challenge for so many. 


Yin Yoga asks you to slow down, mind/body/spirit and summon the more gentle, feminine energy as you sink down and hold poses longer. You may have practiced a pose like Standing Forward Fold before, but in Yin Yoga, you'll shift your focus and just hang there, allowing gravity to help you lengthen and get grounded. Overall it's a more passive practice that leaves even seasoned practitioners feeling longer, leaner and sometimes even a little sore.  


Do you love stretching? Are you a runner? Are you a cardio or lifting junkie? This could be the class that challenges you to level-up.  Learning how to be a bit passive with yourself is a powerful way to shift mentally, emotionally and physically. 


In yoga we believe that true health is a balance between endurance, strength and flexibility. This class helps you find that balance with the deep stretches that so many fitness lovers ignore.
