Do you know how ālaya came to be?
When the world shut down, our studios went silent — but our purpose only got louder. We launched ālaya as a way to bring breath, movement, and presence into your home. It wasn’t perfect, but it was wholehearted.
The word ālaya means “home” in Sanskrit. And that’s exactly what we set out to create: a sense of sanctuary through yoga, all from your home.
But then the world evolved, and we stayed the same.
Now, we’re ready for what’s next.
Informed by your feedback and how you live and practise today, ālaya is evolving into a more structured, inspiring, and purpose-driven experience.
What We Heard:
- 80% of you said time was the biggest barrier to live classes
- Over 70% of class engagement now happens through on-demand playback
- You want more consistency, support, and purpose in your yoga journey
So here’s what we’re doing about it.
You’ll still enjoy the same amazing teachers and class styles you love — now part of something bigger, bolder, and more purposeful.
What’s Next?
In our next blog, we’ll share:
- The exact schedule for July
- Details on your first live Challenges and Journeys
Stay tuned — it’s all dropping this week.
Welcome to the new ālaya- We’re just getting started.
With warmth,
The ālaya Team
