IS YOGA FOR EVERYONE?

At FORUM Modern Yoga, we believe the real magic lies in finding the space, the teacher, and the practice that feels just right for you. No gimmicks. No extremes. Just authentic movement, thoughtful teaching, and space to be human.

Yoga for Everyone…

We hear it all the time: “Yoga is for everyone.”

It’s a nice sentiment. It feels good to say.

But if we’re being honest, it’s not entirely true. Not every class, not every style, not every space will meet every person where they are. And that’s okay.

Maybe the more honest version is this: not all yoga is for everyone, but there IS A YOGA FOR EVERYONE.

That’s where the magic lives: finding the space, the teacher, and the practice that actually fits you.

From Southern California to Kentucky

Before moving to Lexington, I lived in Southern California, a true mecca of the yoga industry.

It’s where pioneers like Maty Ezraty, founder of YogaWorks helped shape yoga in the States and set a high bar for teachers everywhere. The standards were rigorous. The teachers were meticulous. There was a deep respect for lineage and for the craft of teaching.

That environment taught me that yoga is, at its core, about being a student first.

When I moved to Kentucky, I struggled to find that same sense of home. Every studio I tried felt a little off, a real Goldilocks situation.

Too hot. Too cold. Too spiritual.

Nothing felt just right.

Finding My “Just Right”

I wasn’t looking for perfection or performance. I was looking for practice.

Something rooted in awareness. Something that honored where yoga came from but still met people where they are now.

When I opened FORUM Modern Yoga, that was the vision, to build a space grounded in authenticity and informed movement practices.

No gimmicks. No false promises.
No bells. No whistles.
No extreme heat. No misinformation

Just movement, intentional, intelligent, and grounded in lineage yet expressed through modern bodies.

What I learned from my teachers was discipline, detail, and devotion.
What I’ve learned from teaching here is adaptability and the importance of integrity.

FORUM is where those two worlds meet.

Why This Matters

Modern Yoga isn’t just about flexibility or fitness,  it’s about how we relate to ourselves.

When we strip away the noise, we begin to move from awareness, not expectation. And that’s where the real practice begins.

At its core, yoga isn’t about how it looks. It’s about how it feels to fully inhabit your own body and have ownership of who you truly are.

That’s what we teach here.

A Place to Land

Since opening, I’ve met so many students who’ve said the same thing:
“I’ve been looking for a place like this.”

Every time I hear that, I think back to those first months in Lexington, to the feeling of searching for a space where yoga felt meaningful to me and human again.

That’s what FORUM is for.

We’re not trying to be everything to everyone.
We’re just being real for the ones who need this kind of practice.

So… Is Our Yoga for Everyone?

Probably not. And that’s more than okay.

We’re not everyone’s cup of tea. But if you’ve been looking for a practice that’s intentional yet playful, challenging but approachable, smart, modern, and full of heart, then maybe FORUM is your “just right.”

Whether you’ve practiced for years or are just beginning, there’s room for you here, exactly as you are.

At FORUM Modern Yoga, we believe your practice should feel like it belongs to you.

If you’re still searching for a space where yoga feels honest, modern, and human, we’d love to welcome you.
