We love supporting our local community.

Free Community Yoga

FREE Community Yoga — Once a month on a Sunday morning from 10–11am, May through October. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced yogi, this all-levels class is an opportunity to unwind, release stress, and nourish your mind, body, and spirit. We invite you to come together as a community, support one another on our wellness journey, and cultivate positive energy that extends far beyond the mat.

New this year, we invite participants to stay from 11am–12pm for a Community Hour, offering space for connection, reflection, and access to shared resources and community support.

This program is our way of giving back. We would love the opportunity to introduce you to the practice of yoga and the EVOLVE community. These gatherings take place on the New Milford Town Green, just steps away from our studio on Bank Street.

Please bring your yoga mat, some water, and wear comfortable clothing. We recommend arriving a few minutes early to ensure your spot and settle in.

Our Scholarship Program

The Community Outreach Scholarship Program is open to all those with a profound desire to deepen their yoga practice, create a stronger connection to themselves and to our community.

We believe that finances should not stand in the way of those who desire to study the powerful practice of yoga. We exercise this belief by awarding yearly student scholarships based primarily on need.

Deadline: December 15th, 2025

Energy Exchange Program

EVOLVE is committed to making yoga accessible to all members of our community. Exchange your time and energy in exchange for unlimited yoga!

Our energy exchange program is a great way to be an active member of our yoga community and create meaningful relationships with your teachers and fellow yogis.

Here’s how it works: In exchange for 4 hours of your time weekly, you are entitled to an Unlimited Month of Yoga. In exchange for 2 hours of your time weekly, you are entitled to 50% off an Unlimited Month. Classes can be taken either in studio or online.

Supporting Each Other–On the Mat, In Business, and Beyond

True wellness goes beyond the yoga mat—it’s about building a community where we uplift and support one another in business, personal growth, and the pursuit of human rights and equality. When we show up with compassion, integrity, and purpose, we create a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

That’s why we’re passionate about collaborating with other small, sustainable, LGBTQ+ and women-owned businesses—coming together to strengthen our community while providing meaningful, high-quality services. Unity is at the heart of yoga and a mindful lifestyle, and through connection and collaboration, we can EVOLVE not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us.

Whether you’re a local entrepreneur, a wellness advocate, or someone eager to make a difference, we invite you to join this movement. Together, through mindful action and education, we can cultivate a more inclusive, sustainable, and compassionate world.
