At Bodhi Yoga & Wellness, which opened in March at 10 South Union Street, in Middletown, yoga classes start at $18, and there is a Pay What You Can class on Sundays. The studio contributes to the revitalization of Middletown’s historic district by repurposing the vacant space into a hub for wellness and creativity. Owner Marnie Aylesworth says, “In an era marked by heightened stress and a collective yearning for connection, the opening of Bodhi Yoga & Wellness offers a timely sanctuary for holistic healing and community engagement.”

She explains, “We believe that well-being is a fundamental human right. Our space is a sanctuary where all are welcomed, supported and celebrated. Together in community, we hold each other up and create a foundation of strength, healing and connection. As educators, we are committed to making movement, mindfulness, art and creativity accessible to everyone. We trust deeply in the transformative and healing power of yoga, mindfulness, sound healing, reiki, massage and poetry to guide us on our journey to wholeness, compassion and joy.”
