When it comes to holiday gifts, the most meaningful ones aren’t always wrapped in shiny paper. They’re the ones that help someone feel grounded, cared for, and connected. This year, give your loved ones the gift of yoga, rest, and community with Yoga Baum.
Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned yogi, a new parent, a book lover, or someone who simply needs a pause in their week, we’ve got you covered.
Read MoreAs the year winds toward winter, November invites reflection. In a season often dominated by rushing, buying, and doing, slowing down to notice what’s here and to give thanks for it can feel radical.
At Yoga Baum, gratitude is more than a seasonal buzzword. It’s woven into the practice itself. From the way we pause at the beginning of class, to the way students greet each other before rolling up their mats, gratitude is the quiet joy that threads our community together.
Read MoreIf you’ve ever rolled up your mat after class and wondered what it might be like to go deeper, to understand not just how yoga feels, but the why behind certain cues, principles, or positions, then yoga teacher training may be calling you.
At Yoga Baum, our 200-hour programs (Spring 2026 weekend/evening format and Summer 2026 immersion) aren’t just about learning to teach. They’re about transformation, growth, and community. Whether you dream of leading classes or simply want to enrich your own practice, teacher training opens a door to discovery.
Read MoreAs autumn deepens and the veil thins toward Halloween and Samhain, many of us feel an instinctive pull inward. The harvest is over. The trees are shedding what’s no longer needed. The world quiets just a little and invites us to do the same.
At Yoga Baum, we see this seasonal shift not as a loss of energy, but as a gathering of insight. Just as nature transitions, so do we. It’s a time to reflect, reset, and reconnect, not only with others, but with your own inner knowing.
Read MoreAs the air cools and the light softens, fall brings an invitation that’s easy to miss in a culture focused on momentum: slow down.
At Yoga Baum, we believe that fall is one of the best times of year to reconnect with yourself not by doing more, but by doing less with greater intention. Whether you're craving rest, structure, or something to anchor you through seasonal change, a fall reset rooted in gentle rhythm can support your body and mind in meaningful ways.
Read MoreWe hear it a lot:
“I didn’t know yoga could feel like this.”
“I feel calmer just walking in the door.”
“This place feels like home.”
Yoga Baum is more than a yoga studio in St. Matthews. It's a warm, welcoming community where people of all backgrounds, bodies, and life stages come to breathe, move, reconnect, and belong.
Here’s why students tell us they love practicing here and what we love about you, too.
Read MoreYou don’t have to do yoga every day to have a yoga practice. But there’s something powerful about crossing the line from “I go when I can” to “This is part of my life.”
At Yoga Baum in Louisville, we’ve seen students move from casual curiosity to steady, committed practice, and not because they forced themselves to. It’s because they found the right kind of support, rhythm, and connection. Here’s how it tends to happen…
Read MoreIn a fast-paced world where overstimulation and chronic stress are the norm, yoga offers more than just a good stretch. It provides a powerful way to regulate the nervous system and build real resilience.

Read MoreStarting September 15, Yoga Baum’s new Stride + Stretch Run/Walk Club will meet three mornings a week at Seneca Park. It’s designed to help walkers and runners alike build consistency, enjoy movement, and recover well with yoga.
But what makes this approach effective? Why not just go out and walk or jog the same distance every day? Let’s look at a few key reasons this format works and why having a group makes all the difference.

Whether you’re brand-new to yoga or a long-time practitioner, here’s what makes a private session truly great.
Read MoreAt Yoga Baum, people often tell us the studio feels different. Warmer, more personal. We know why that is.
It’s because of the teachers.
Our instructors don’t just lead movement—they create culture. They shape the experience that keeps students coming back not just for yoga, but for connection, understanding, and a feeling of belonging. Their intelligence, warmth, and dedication are what make Yoga Baum what it is.
Read MoreYou’ve probably heard that consistency is the key to building any habit—but creating that consistency? That’s where it gets tricky. Life is full of distractions, responsibilities, and reasons to put your well-being last.
At Yoga Baum, we believe the best habits don’t start with discipline—they start with delight. When movement feels meaningful, supportive, and even a little fun, showing up becomes something you look forward to.
If you’ve been trying to build a yoga habit (or restart one), here are a few ways to make it work for your real life—and why it’s so worth it.
Read MoreIf you’ve ever walked out of a yoga class feeling calmer, clearer, or more connected to yourself, that’s not just in your head—it’s also in your brain.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s happening behind the breath—and how Yoga Baum’s class offerings support those deeper shifts.

Read MoreThe summer solstice marks the longest day of the year—a celebration of light, growth, and new beginnings. As the sun rises earlier and the days stretch longer, it's the perfect time to align your practice with the rhythm of the season. Morning yoga is more than a habit; it’s a way to meet the day with intention, presence, and vitality.
At Yoga Baum, we offer a variety of early morning classes designed to fit your mood, energy level, and goals. Whether you want to move, meditate, or build strength, there’s a space for you here.
Read MoreWhen people think of yoga, they often picture handstands or sweaty power flows. But the truth is, the softer side of yoga—gentle movement, stretching, restorative postures, and meditation—offers deep, evidence-backed benefits that are just as powerful. In fact, for many people, these slower practices are exactly what the body (and mind) need most.
At Yoga Baum, we design classes that meet you where you are—and sometimes, where you are is craving stillness, softness, or recovery.
Read MoreWhen most people think about core strength, they picture toned abs or six-packs. But there's far more to the story. A strong core supports your entire body—from balance and posture to spine health and pain-free living. At Yoga Baum, located in the heart of St. Matthews in Louisville, KY our core-focused yoga classes offer smart, accessible, and scientifically grounded ways to build long-term strength, mobility, and resilience.

He decided to practice in the one-on-one setting because of his specific goals and challenges; he has a congenital heart defect and has undergone two open heart surgeries, the most recent of which was in 2014.
