About Hummingbird Yoga
At our Northfield studio, we bring the benefits of yoga to life through the transformative practice of Kripalu Yoga. Join our community, where students come together to unwind, de-stress and find a connection.
The name
Why the hummingbird
Hummingbirds are considered symbols of peace, love, and good health. They show you how to find the miracle of joyful living within your own life circumstances. The hummingbird may be small but it is so full of joy that when it comes to you, joy will take over. It comes when what needs to be done is impossible.
This spectacular bird teaches a person about self-discovery and healing. The hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backward. This is a reminder that the past can't be changed, but can teach us lessons. It symbolizes energy, wonder, and swift action. It never seems to stop. This tireless activity represents perseverance.
Because hummingbirds do not simply flap their wings up and down, but instead move them in a pattern of the infinity symbol, or the figure eight; they are thought to be symbols of eternity.

Inside the studio
No. Classes are for all levels, customized to your individual needs: if you can't get down on your knee, Heidi will give you an extra prop. Kripalu recognizes that each body is unique.
Yes. Restorative yoga is a simple yet powerful practice that is beneficial for people at any level of yoga. With the use of props, you will create a comfortable space for nourishing the body and the mind. Everyone is welcome. Tell your teacher before class about any injury or condition.
Many people come to yoga because they are interested in learning effective tools to manage stress. Kripalu is a practice that revitalizes the body, calms the mind, and deepens self-awareness. It's a yoga you can practice off the mat as well.
People come to yoga for different reasons. Most are looking to improve their health. Others are interested in learning effective tools to manage stress. Still, others seek personal and spiritual growth. Kripalu offers all these things, and is designed to initiate a process of personal transformation.
