This is a unique series which blends movement, breath and sound to cultivate an open heart and a silent mind. Prior experience in yoga, music, chanting or sanskrit is not necessary. Everything will be taught gradually and from the beginning. The first part of class will be dedicated to a gentle yoga and pranayama practice which will prepare participants for chanting. The second part will focus on chanting, presentation of meaning and meditation. Tuition for the 5 week series is $60. Note that we will not meet on March 8th as the space will be used for another program. For a more thorough description of this series, go to this page.

This is an ongoing restorative series that is ideal for individuals who have health issues or limited mobility. Having difficulty getting down on the floor would not preclude participation. The guidance focuses on moving the body while being attentive to intentional breathing techniques. Observing one's breath and body in a slower step by step progression enables students to understand how to adapt postures more appropriately to meet their personal needs. The practice ends with a guided relaxation which has restorative and meditative potentials.

Tuition: $108 for the 6 week series.

The Tuesday night “sangha” consists of students who have practiced yoga at Upstate Yoga for many years and have a skillful connection to the linking of body movement and breath and have experienced many postures and combinations/vinyasas. It is also open to people who have prior yoga experience in other traditions. In this case, please speak with the instructor before signing in as they will need to make sure the class is a good fit for you. The class ends with a sitting meditation.

Tuition: $ 108 for the 6 week series.

This is an ongoing class which is a little gentler than our Tuesday evening class. Martine will teach the first three classes of the Series, then David will take over for the rest of the Series.

Tuition is $108 for the 6 weeks.

Note that this class will not start until April as we currently have another program at this time.

In this 5 week Series for beginners or near-beginners, you will be introduced to the fundamental aspects of yoga practice. The only pre-requisite for this class is that you be able to get on the floor and get back up again. Everything else will be taught to you in a precise way, with proper modifications brought to each posture as needed. Our teaching methodology promotes the harmonization of body, breath and mind, which leads to a feeling of wellness and stability.
