Homegrown Yoga Downtown

Still thinking about last night. 🤍

Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Maxwell Events for Candlelit Calm.

There was something really special about gathering on the fall equinox, surrounded by candlelight and stained glass, and taking 90 minutes together to slow down, move a little, rest a lot, and just be.

And thank you to Addy Passaro, Teresa Marker, and Lily for creating such a beautiful evening of gentle movement, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and sound.

We loved this night so much that we’re doing it again. ✨

Our next Candlelit Calm will be December 21, on the winter solstice. Registration is officially live at homegrownyoga.fit

Until then, thank you for spending the first evening of fall with us. 🤍

Addy, Teresa, and Lily are taking over The Maxwell tonight, September 22, for an evening built around slowing down.

We’ll start with gentle movement, move into restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra, and finish with a sound bath.

All by candlelight, with the stained glass glowing around you.

No experience needed. No pressure to do anything perfectly. Just 90 minutes to move a little, rest a lot, and have nowhere else to be.

We cannot wait to see you! ✨

Meet Lynda 🤍

Lynda has been doing Pilates for about 20 years, long before she ever became an instructor.

She started with classes at the Y, later took private sessions with Lori Newman, became a yoga instructor 10 years ago, and officially added Pilates instructor to the list last year.

She also happens to be Addy’s mom, which makes having her teach at Homegrown feel extra special.

Lynda teaches Reformer Flow All Levels and plans her classes so everyone can get what they need while still feeling challenged.

One thing you will probably hear from her in class:

“Use your core and muscles to do the work, not the springs.”

For Lynda, movement has only become more important with time. It helps her feel stronger in everyday life, supports her emotionally, and keeps her doing the things she loves.

Including, apparently, backpacking the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland the hard way. 😂

We are so happy to have her as part of Homegrown in more ways than one. 🤍

Okay, now that you’ve seen the new logo, here’s a better look at the full concept. 🌱

Homegrown is growing beyond what most people think of when they hear “yoga studio.” We’re dreaming about more strength, more Pilates, more reformer, more ways to move, and yes, possibly a little more heat. 🔥

But the part that matters most isn’t changing.

You can still walk in exactly as you are. You can be brand new. You can rest when you need to. You can challenge yourself when you want to. There is room for you here.

This is one of the concepts we’ve been dreaming up for the next chapter of Homegrown, and we really want to know what you think.

Can you picture this as Homegrown? And be honest, would you take a heated class? 🤍

Maggie is already back at the University of Kentucky, and we are definitely missing her around Homegrown. 🤍

She started teaching yoga this year at UK and spent part of 2026 subbing Gentle Flow, Open-Level Yoga, and All-Levels Vinyasa here at the studio.

What we love about Maggie is how much she cares about making people feel comfortable walking into class, especially if yoga is still new to them.

She wants you to feel challenged when you want to be, but also completely comfortable listening to your body, slowing down, or taking another option.

For Maggie, movement has always been about more than the movement itself. It is also about the people you meet, the relationships you build, and the community that comes with it.

Which feels pretty Homegrown to us. 🤍

Outside of yoga, she is studying neuroscience on the pre-med track, loves organic chemistry, Star Wars, The Hobbit, hiking, thrifting, reading, and baking sourdough. So basically, she has a lot going on. 😂

We hope she has the best year back at UK, and we will be very happy whenever we get to have her back on the schedule. 🤍

September 11th is a day so many of us will never forget, and one that some will only ever know as a date in history. That’s why we have to keep telling the stories, sharing what happened, and making sure they understand the weight of that day.

I was in fifth grade. I can still remember the classroom I was sitting in and the frantic sound of my mom’s voice when she came to pull me from class and tell me what had happened. I was too young to fully understand the magnitude of it all, but I knew something had changed.

Two of my family members were in the towers that day. Getting through by phone was nearly impossible, and the fear of not knowing if they were safe was something my family will never forget. Thankfully, they were among those who were able to evacuate. So many others weren’t.

I also remember what happened in the days that followed. We came together. We stood together. We helped one another. For a moment, the things that divided us seemed so much smaller than the things that united us.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who ran toward danger to save others.

We remember so that they are never forgotten. We teach so that future generations understand. And we honor those we lost by carrying forward the kindness, courage, service, and unity that followed.

🇺🇸 Never forget.

Have you noticed a few changes around the studio lately? 👀

Strength classes are officially in full swing, and we want to hear from those of you who have been joining us. What are you loving? How are you feeling? What would you like to see more of?

We’re building what comes next with you in mind, so your feedback really matters to us. 🤍

Maybe the goal was never to take up less space.

Maybe it is to feel at home in your body. To become stronger without needing to become smaller. To move with intention, rest without guilt, eat enough, breathe deeply, and be here for the life you are actually living.

Gold star behavior, if you ask us. ⭐️
