A Mindful Path to Wellness
Starting something new can feel intimidating, but beginning your yoga journey doesn’t have to be. At Thrive Yoga Crested Butte we honor the courage it takes to step into a studio for the first time. Whether you’re brand new to yoga or returning after a break, our doors and hearts are open to you.
Our open-level, beginner-friendly classes are thoughtfully designed to help you feel supported from the moment you arrive. These classes emphasize clear, detailed instruction, time to explore and feel each pose, and variations to meet every body where it is. You’ll be guided by compassionate teachers who are committed to creating a warm and non-judgmental space, where your growth comes first.
What Makes Beginners Yoga at Thrive Unique?
We believe that yoga is more than just movement—it’s a practice of presence, connection, and transformation. Our studio is a sanctuary for slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and exploring the deeper layers of what it means to thrive. Rather than focusing on performance or perfection, our teachers invite you to move at your own pace, listen inwardly, and discover a practice that’s personal and sustainable.
At Thrive Yoga CB, beginner yogis are not an afterthought—they are at the heart of our community. Our diverse class offerings allow you to explore different traditions and styles while feeling held every step of the way.
Beginner-Friendly Offerings Include:
- Slow Flow with Carin Lockhart – A gentle, mindful pace that allows for introspection and ease.
- Slow Flow & Yoga Nidra with Kait Lewis – Movement paired with deeply restful guided meditation.

Each of these classes is appropriate for beginners and provides a nourishing space to begin your yoga journey.
