The Bhava Story

Bhava began in New York City's East Village. Our intention was to serve our community by offering a simple, affordable, graceful alternative to the trend toward huge, glitzy, pricey centers. A place where people of all shapes, sizes and abilities could challenge themselves—mind, body, spirit—in a supportive environment. A place to grow connected to our selves, and each other, and beyond. There we thrived for four wonderful years until we lost our lease at the last minute and were unable to locate a new home in the neighborhood on such short notice. We finally realized this was an opportunity for our family to grow in a new home.

Bhava is now located in Brattleboro, Vermont, but our mission has remained the same. Our name comes from the Sanskrit word for being, and being fully present and being divine are just a few of its inspirational implications. We provide deeply challenging, inspiring, juicy Yoga classes for all levels of experience and energy. All classes are by donation, and drop-ins are always welcome. We also offer work-exchange options and fair class card policies—all in a very sweet setting.

Welcome to Bhava Yoga Brattleboro! Here, you'll find inspiring pure Yoga Asana—intelligently sequenced, with deep attention given to the breath—in a genial and supportive atmosphere.
