Class Descriptions

All Levels: These Hatha Yoga classes are perfect for any level student from beginner to advanced, the teacher will adjust the pace accordingly. They will incorporate alignment techniques in postures while maintaining focus on breath and inner awareness. Pranayama (breath and energy expansion) techniques, asana (postural), and meditation techniques will be blended to create a setting for deep introspection and awareness. These classes are ideal for learning stress relief methods, for balancing energy, and for overall health. A flow of postures and variations of Sun Salutations will be offered to warm and energize the body, moving from standing and balancing poses to seated poses. Each class will end with a supine meditation. Taught by Sondra Loring and Paramananda.

Svaroopa® Yoga : focuses on the safe and gradual release of chronic pain and discomfort.

Upstate NY Hudson Tai Chi Club: Tai Chi is based on the idea that mind body and emotion are not separable. The exercise which takes about 20 min. to complete is designed to facilitate physical, mental and emotional development. Consisting of 124 movements it is performed in a slow, rythmic, continious motion which relaxes the body and helps promote blood circulation. It strengthens muscles and joints and while it develops concentration and awarness it helps relieve fatigue, tension and stress. Tai Chi is a complete physical exercise bringing stimulation and health to all parts of the body. It may be taken up by anyone regardless of gender, age or health. Led by Robert Manenti, Saturdays, 4:30-6:00 PM, $15 (Sadhana class cards accepted).

Vinyasa: Challenging classes where one posture flows into the next, initiated by the breath. In these classes instructions on alignment will be given along with variations of postures suggested for intermediate and/or advanced students. Class will start with some form of Sun Salutations and move through standing, balancing, and seated postures. Inversions and backbends may be practiced. These energizing classes are appropriate for intermediate and more advanced students who wish to gain flexibility, stamina, and endurance in a safe and somewhat lighthearted environment. Taught by Sondra Loring.

Yin, or Taoist Yoga: focuses on the more Yin parts of the body which are the bones, ligaments and connective tissues, particularly those that make up and support our center core in the pelvis and low back. The postures are held for long periods, usually 5 minutes, with acceptance and ease, allowing deep release. Taught by Sasha Chermayeff.

Yoga for Every Body: is a safe space for students of all body types and experience levels to practice together. This class speaks to anyone struggling with body image, self-esteem or fear of the unknown. It is a well-rounded asana class, incorporating meditation, breathing, and music to help the student know their body, quiet their mind, listen to their heart, and connect to their center. Led by Krishna Kumari.

Yoga Mix: Blending the grace and heat of Vinyasa with the alignment and detail of Iyengar, this class is a laboratory for exploration of yoga, the body and the mind. In other words, the class moves, but we use props. Taught by Sondra Loring.

Meditation: The intent and focus of this monthly meditation class is singular and specific, to learn to be with yourself in Silence. You will become intimately connected with Awareness and your True/Divine Nature that are inseparable. You will learn the direct experiencing form of meditation (allowing everything to be as it is) for the purpose of being aware of what is going on inside of you. We will also explore meditative self-inquiry with Ramana's spiritually powerful question, Who Am I?

At the end of each class you will receive the Oneness Blessing or Deeksha (optional) from the instructor and other guest Blessing Givers. Deeksha is an energy transfer that nurtures the growth of consciousness and profound spiritual healing. Our level of consciousness determines the quality of our experience of life, of moment-to-moment awareness. As consciousness rises, we experience greater clarity, joy, love, unity and focus in everything we do. Taught by Gordon Scarritt.
