Vinyasa/EMVY classes

Be. in Union yoga is EMVY (EMpowerment Vinyasa Yoga).

Vinyasa simply means incorporating breath with movement. Be. in Union yoga is Vinyasa based, but philosophically, we at Be. believe that there is a significant difference between “power” and “empower(ment).” Therefore, less stress is placed on the heat or the “power” aspect of this yoga practice. Our intention is on making students really own and feel empowered by their practice, in every sense of the word. We’re simple trying to get the message out that yoga is about YOU.

All of our classes at Be. are founded on the notion of empowerment. All EMVY classes are All Levels classes.

Yoga Offers FFs Fitness, Stress Relief

Firefighter Blanca Alcaraz says it is her mission to teach yoga to first responders.

By Ed Ballam -

Although yoga has not traditionally been found in the firehouse, Blanca Alcaraz, a career firefighter with the Somerville, Mass. Fire Department, is doing everything she can to let her brothers and sisters know that yoga is kick-butt exercise that can have even the most buff firefighters working up a sweat in minutes.

Her department is among a number around the country where responders are taking an interest in the practice for both fitness and stress relief.

How To Find Calm In A Burning Building? Yoga

SOMERVILLE, Mass. — After returning from New York in the wake of Sept. 11, Somerville firefighter Blanca Alcaraz felt restless. She needed something to occupy her anxious mind. She dismissed the suggestion to try yoga — “Don’t you eat that?” — at first. A former professional rugby player, Alcaraz never imagined yoga as demanding. All that came to mind was Olivia Newton-John and full-length leotards.
