Born Yoga, Birmingham

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

Born Yoga is a studio solely dedicated to children and families. This alone sets us apart from many of the other yoga studios in the area. Born Yoga has yoga classes for everyone from babies to teens as well as Aerial Yoga classes for moms, kids, and teens. Furthermore, our studio provides a safe, welcoming, kid-friendly environment, equipped with allergen-free foam floors.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

Born Yoga is a dream come true for founder and owner, Ashley Goldberg. Ashley practiced yoga and mindful breathing at a young age to help her get through pediatric cancer and therefore, she knew how beneficial yoga can be for children and teens who face challenges both big and small.

What do you love most about your job?

The best part of being a children’s yoga teacher is seeing a child come to life through the asanas (poses). We see kids who are very shy or anxious begin to open up when they step into the yoga room. As they continue to practice they become more confident in their abilities and who they are as a person.

What is the best reaction you’ve ever gotten from a customer?

This is a testimonial from one of our clients: “I just wanted to thank you for the amazing class that my daughters did with you. Both my 5- and 7-year-olds are hooked! They have been practicing their “moves” at home and can’t wait to do some more classes with you. You have such an amazing way with children! I also wanted to let you know that you have really made a change in my 7-year-old. She has some anxiety, and I often find her doing her “yoga breathing” to help her cope with a challenging situation. She is self-soothing, thanks to you! I really can’t thank you enough, and we look forward to more classes at Born Yoga!”
