NEW YORK MILLS, MN, February 9, 2026— The New York Mills Regional Cultural Center (NYMRCC) is continuing its commitment to accessible, community-centered wellness with the return of yoga programming for the Winter–Spring 2026 season. Classes with instructor Bobbi Jo Hamilton began earlier this month and run February through May, offering multiple gentle, adaptable options for participants of all experience levels.
Yoga at NYMRCC welcomes both newcomers and returning practitioners. Classes emphasize body awareness, personal choice, and nervous system support in a calm, inclusive environment where participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies and move at their own pace.
All classes are led by Bobbi Jo Hamilton, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), yoga teacher, and owner of Northwoods Velvære Studio. Hamilton brings a somatic, body-centered approach that blends gentle movement, mindful breath, and self-compassion practices. Her teaching prioritizes comfort, adaptability, and inner awareness rather than performance or rigid alignment.
The Winter–Spring 2026 yoga season includes three offerings:
Wednesday Body-Led Yoga Flow
Wednesdays, 6:00–7:00 PM | February 11–March 25, 2026
This seven-week series is offered at a $5 community rate per class to encourage new and returning participants. Classes focus on slow, intuitive movement guided by the body and are designed as a supportive midweek reset.
Friday Body-Led Yoga Flow

A steady weekly class offering gentle, mindful movement to support balance, mobility, and ease.
