Welcome to Nyack Yoga
At Nyack Yoga we believe that the physical, spiritual and mental benefits of Yoga are indispensable tools for navigating the stresses of a modern 21st century life. That through the practice of Yoga, breathing techniques, meditation and mindfulness one can achieve balance, ease and openness in both body and mind. We believe these benefits of Yoga are available to all people regardless of prior experience or physical abilities, and that each persons yoga practice is their own personal path to health and wellness. To facilitate this, we offer classes and workshops of all levels and types of yoga, in an atmosphere of inclusion and acceptance, free from judgement, with space and support for every level and type of practitioner. Our diverse and welcoming community attests to this. Nyack Yoga’s spacious and inviting studio is located in the heart of Nyack with free parking onsite and handicap accessibility.Upcoming Workshops and Events

Join Us the Third Tuesday of every month at 7:30 pm for Yoga Lab!
Yoga Lab is a place where you can experiment, ask questions and learn how to refine your postures and alignment, deepen your practice and go further into the practice of yoga. This class will have a different topic each month and will be held the third Tuesday of every month.
OCTOBER’s Lab: October 17, 7:30 pm. CORE with Laura Kallen
We’ll go over core stabilizing and strengthening, integrating our core movements using our asana practice. Combining strength and lightness, and how that ties into our asana practice moving more fluidly and gracefully, accessing more challenging poses.
The word core itself implies deep and central. A strong core helps with posture and alleviating misalignments which can cause back pain. Want to get into an arm balance or hold one even longer? Go further with your inversions? They all require core strength and stability.

OCTOBER Workshops
An Understanding of Chaturanga with Laura Kallen
Saturday, October 21. 3:00 – 5:00 pm
Are you a yoga teacher who would like to learn different techniques to help teach something that so many people struggle with in their asana practice?
This workshop will explore:
-How to effectively execute and refine your chaturanga and surya namaskar
-We will practice postures that help us to build strength in the shoulders and core (abdominals and back)
-Explore the anatomy of the shoulder girdle and its alignment for better understanding of functionality
-We will play with postures that help to strengthen the shoulder girdle and allow for a greater understanding of alignment within our flow as well as play with poses that have similar alignment and form (*some arm balancing will also be explored as it relates to our chaturanga and the shoulders)
Learn why alignment is essential for creating a safe and strong practice.

WRITE YOUR SELF OPEN
meditate • write • connect
Tuesday, October 24. 7:30 – 9:00 pm
OCTOBER’S THEME: Transformation—Becoming Your Highest Self
Write Your Self Open is an exhilarating combination of a writing workshop and a restorative group counseling session. Participants are invited to discover and celebrate their true selves through guided meditation, journal writing, and discussion.
Reconnect with the Highest Self and write with that authentic voice, using a four-phase approach of:
Identifying the Issue—What area of your life needs the most transformation?
Guided Meditation—Temporarily release ego consciousness and connect with the subconscious and Source, allowing guiding images to emerge in response to your need.
Writing—Using exercises designed around the meditation journey, write from a pure place of personal truth.
Discussion—Share writings, speak in an open forum about the journey to Self and, in doing so, celebrate the divine paradox that all individuals are interconnected.
Not a writer? No problem! The only prerequisite is a desire to go deep into your creative center.
Please wear comfortable clothing, and bring a pen and notebook. Blankets/yoga mats provided.
