At 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.

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 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.

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.
Read MorePracticing yoga has so many benefits and there is a multitude of styles of yoga to choose from. The plentiful options for yoga practice can make it overwhelming to decide which class to attend. While you will reap multiple benefits from all of the classes on our schedule, certain classes are better for specific goals. One of the most common questions we receive is “which yoga class should I go to?” The answer depends heavily on your current activity level and your goals, and everyone from beginners to experienced yogis can be in ANY class. So, instead of choosing a class based on your experience level, choose a class based on what you want to get out of the practice. Keep reading to see which yoga classes will help you meet your goals!
