-
pain relief

stress management
-
better breathing
-
flexibility
-
increased strength
-
weight management
-
improved circulation
At The Yoga Sanctuary we offer classes that range from gentle to vigorous vinyasa flow. We have students practicing yoga at 4 weeks to 75 years of age. All our yoga teachers are highly trained, certified and registered with the Yoga Alliance. You will not find this level of training and expertise anywhere else in Westchester County.
Each of us comes to practice yoga for our own unique reasons. In a yoga class, we learn the basic structure and form of the postures (asana). We also learn breathing techniques (pranayama) that will prepare us for movement, meditation and relaxation. The challenge that follows is how to apply these tools to our own unique needs.
A private session with a qualified instructor can be of tremendous help. In a personalized private session you will learn how to adapt and modify a yoga practice so that it serves you. In addition, your instructor can help you construct a personal practice you can do at home. Some students request an occasional single session, others require several sessions to address injuries or chronic conditions.
