GROUP CLASSES


• Introductory Series are designed for beginners or for students who wish to reinforce prior understanding of the basic principles of yoga practice. The focus is on basic postures, the use of breath in postures, and greater awareness of breath in daily life.

• Continuing Series are open to students who have studied with us before or who have experience in other yoga traditions.

All group classes are suitable for people who are able to do normal stretching and strengthening. Persons with serious medical or psychological complications should speak to us and may be better served by private sessions.

               WORKSHOPS and RETREATS

Periodically, we offer workshops or retreats on various
topics to further the understanding of yoga.

We are also available for on-site events in workplaces, schools, colleges, and associations. Our past offerings have included sessions on introductory yoga, stress reduction, breathing problems, meditation techniques and yoga for the office.

If you or your company are interesting in having a workshop, contact us at info@upstateyogainstitute.com

            
               PRIVATE CLASSES

Private sessions can help the person with health issues related to tension and stress. They can also complement traditional health care programs for people suffering from MS, diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis, asthma, COPD, cancer, heart and artery disease, depression, or anxiety. They are suitable for anyone who does not feel comfortable in a group and for people who want to pursue a more personal course. Arrangements are made between teacher and student.

A recent study reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that specifically viniyoga (which is based on Deskichar's work with Gary Kraftsow) "is a safe and effective treatment for chronic back pain and provides physicians with a rationale for recommending it.
