Backyard Yoga
Welcome to Backyard Yoga with Pam Cates! This outdoor all-levels yoga class takes place in the backyard of the Cates Family Farm in Gray, Maine. Enjoy moving under the sky while the farm’s kunekune pigs wander about and maybe stop and say hello. View the class schedule below and swing by for a class. We have no class fees, instead all donations gathered go directly to Maine nonprofits. Join the Backyard Yoga Facebook Group for last minute announcements and/or weather delays.

About Backyard Yoga
Talulah’s Garden offers all-levels, mobility-focused, functional movement Backyard Yoga classes for every body in Cumberland County, Maine. Rooted in the essence of connection, our practice goes beyond the mat. Here in the yard, we cultivate not only a personal bond between you and your practice but also a deeper connection with your community. By offering donation-based classes where 100% of proceeds directly support local nonprofits, we bridge the gap between self-care and collective well-being, creating a space where every movement is a step towards a stronger, more interconnected community.
Founded by Pam Cates in her backyard in June 2022, our mission is to remove the hesitation surrounding the practice of yoga by creating visibility that yoga is so much more than the asanas (movements). It’s a philosophy of self-study that can support you physically & emotionally. As a collective, we aim to spread kindness by having a community presence that wraps arms around others & offers encouragement; encouragement to pursue passions, to take care of their bodies, to care for their hearts & to pay these things forward.
Embracing the philosophy of abundance, we invite diverse yoga teachers to join our offerings, enriching the practice experience and highlighting its personal nuances. Together, we cultivate an environment where generosity, inclusivity, and growth flourish, embodying the belief that there is enough for everyone, both on and off the mat.
If you are interested in creating a more fulfilled life - both physically and emotionally - we welcome you to try a class with Backyard Yoga.
