About TLC Yoga

Care Is Our Core

Yoga Class

Each class is a combination of chair yoga and mat yoga. We practice simple meditation and breathing techniques for mental clarity, thoughtful movement and alignment based asana to relieve bodily tension, and restorative yoga to aid in deep relaxation. 

Compassionate Care

Whether giving out homemade herbal tea and dark chocolate, guiding someone into their most comfortable position, or supportively listening to a student vent about a hard night — a lot of tender loving care happens during our time together.

A Safe, Special Space

Sometimes we tend to students who are sleeping outside in 30 degree weather. Active participation may not be right for them. We serve them hot tea, help them into a restful position, prop their bodies, cover them with towels to be warm, place an eye pillow over their eyes, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe to sleep. They may rest while others participate in movement.

This type of special treatment is what makes TLC Yoga unique. It’s not a traditional yoga class. It’s similar to palliative care. We improve our students’ quality of life in a kind and caring way, whether they are participating in movement or resting.

Other Services

In addition to our weekly class, we bring in chair massage therapists, sound therapists and other wellness practitioners to serve our unhoused neighbors. Our Thursday program in East Atlanta also provides breakfast and lunch alongside the yoga class.

We follow our movement session with restorative yoga and lavender scented eye pillows. We let this linger as long as we can because it might be the safest place for someone who is unhoused to let go and get real rest.

  • It motivated me to start walking more. I can feel the difference in my right shoulder, my hips and my lower back. My flexibility has increased and I feel my breath more in my body.
