Slow Hatha yoga, prenatal classes, and massage therapy on N 45th St. Walk in stiff. Walk out taller.
01 — The studio
Aditi means boundless. We liked that. This is a small studio on N 45th Street in Seattle where yoga moves at the speed of your breath. No mirrors, no shouting, no keeping up with the person on the next mat. Hatha classes hold each posture long enough for your body to actually understand it. Prenatal classes make room for two. And when the week has been too much, there is a massage table in the back room. Come as you are — stiff, tired, expecting, curious. The door is open.
We teach three things and we teach them well: slow alignment-based Hatha for every body, gentle prenatal yoga for expecting mothers, and unhurried massage therapy by appointment. Everything else — the playlists, the incense, the performance — we left out on purpose.
02 — Index of services
The backbone of the studio. Slow, alignment-focused postures linked to breath. Each pose is held long enough to settle into — five, six, seven breaths — so beginners can learn the shape and experienced students can refine it. Expect clear cueing, hands-on adjustments only if you want them, and a long rest at the end that nobody rushes. All levels. If you have never done yoga, start here.
60 min · all levels · mats & props providedFor expecting mothers, in any trimester. Gentle, supported movement: no deep twists, no lying on the belly, plenty of side-lying rest. Bolsters and blankets do half the work. The room is warm, the pace is yours, and nobody minds if you spend the whole class in a supported squat breathing. Check with your doctor or midwife first — then come as you are.
55 min · all trimesters · partners welcome to watch, not to joinBy appointment, 60 or 90 minutes. Focused table work for desk backs, tight hips, tired shoulders, and the general compression of a Seattle winter. Tell us what hurts when you arrive; we build the session around it. Call (555) 010-2030 to book — same-day spots open up more often than you would think.
60 / 90 min · by appointment · draping always03 — How it works
A — Slow by design
Most classes rush you through shapes. We do the opposite: fewer postures, longer holds, breath as the metronome. Your nervous system gets the message before your muscles give up. People tell us the hour feels like twenty minutes and also like a full night of sleep. Both can be true.
Arrive ten minutes early. The first five minutes of class are just breathing, and they are not optional.
B — Props, not pressure
The studio keeps a wall of props and a simple rule: use whatever makes the pose yours. A block under your hand in triangle pose is not a lesser triangle — it is a longer spine. Teachers demo the prop version first, the fancy version never.
If an adjustment does not feel right, say so. The best adjustment is the one you ask for.
C — Your first visit
No membership pitch at the door, no intro package hard sell. Book one Hatha Foundations class, wear anything you can move in, drink some water beforehand. Tell the teacher it is your first class — they will keep an eye on you without making it weird.
Single class is $22 (sample). If you come back, the 10-class pack at $180 (sample) is the usual next step.

06 — Questions
$22 (sample). That covers any Hatha or prenatal class on the schedule, including mat and prop use. No sign-up fee, no membership required for your first visit — just show up ten minutes early.
Yes — beginners are the point of Hatha Foundations. Postures are broken down piece by piece, props are encouraged, and resting whenever you need to is standard practice, not a confession. Tell the teacher it is your first class.
For most pregnancies, yes — but check with your doctor or midwife first. Our prenatal classes avoid deep twists, belly-down postures, and overheating, and everything is prop-supported. Bring your questions; the teacher has heard all of them.
Call (555) 010-2030. Massage is by appointment only, in 60- or 90-minute sessions (60 minutes is $95 sample). Tell us what is sore when you book so the therapist can plan the session.
Yourself, water, and clothes you can move in. Eat lightly an hour or two before class rather than right before. Mats, blocks, straps, and blankets are all at the studio — you do not need to buy anything to start.
