A Family Affair
Gina Baltzer and Ben Wisch’s vision for Home Yoga, which opened a year ago, was as much about healing as exercise. The partners wanted the facility to cultivate awareness and compassion while acting as a refuge where people could renew themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Baltzer, Wisch, and six other teachers hold classes geared to beginners, children, teens, and men, as well as mixed groups. All classes, except the children’s, take place in a studio heated to 90 degrees to promote a cleansing sweat. Home’s social consciousness extends to its support of such programs as Pennies for Peace, which raises funds for Doctors Without Borders.
