TOFU simply means

This One's for Us

 

Welcome! I’m Yana Bailey, founder of This One’s for Us (TOFU) Yoga — a space dedicated to authenticity, intentional movement, mindfulness, and community wellness and care.

 

My yoga journey began in 2007, and in 2020 I became a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher. Over the years, yoga has helped me heal, grow, and reconnect with myself in powerful ways. But too often, I found myself in studios where I felt out of place — and many times, one of the few people who looked like me.

 

I created This One’s for Us Yoga for those who are too often left out of mainstream wellness spaces. Those who are tired, grieving, joyful, hopeful, growing — and still showing up.

 

This space isn’t about perfection or performance. There’s no pressure or judgment here.

 

TOFU Yoga classes is a modern yoga-inspired approach to holistic wellness that focuses the mind/body connection. We help provide tools to manage stress and be more mindful on and off the mat - while increasing strength and flexibility in the body. We recognize and respect the origin of yoga, without appropriating sacred traditions, culture, or language. We are building a community that feels safe, affirming, and real.

 

The last few years have reminded us just how much healing and unity is needed in our community — from collective trauma and exhaustion, to the emotional weight we carry individually. TOFU Yoga is my offering in response — a place to move, breathe, and just be.

​

TOFU is not only about yoga, it's a movement all about supporting and building community. I'm excited about the possibilities of all that we can achieve together!

 

Much love,

Yana
