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.

Aerial Yoga takes traditional yoga and lifts it off the ground and into the air through the use of silk hammocks suspended from the ceiling. The same as used in aerial acrobatics. In this way, many traditional poses , such as backbends or inversions become supported and more accessible to the yoga practitioner.

How To Nail One-Legged Standing Poses with Jessica Hans Smolin

One-legged standing postures teach us how to access balance, alignment, strength and attention all in one moment. When practiced regularly, they help improve coordination, protecting us from potential physical injury and activate a sense of calm, teaching us to be in tune and adaptable to whatever moment presents to us.
In this workshop students can expect to learn the subtle yet powerful mechanics of one-legged standing postures, and gain access a greater level of joy while dancing around the edges of their center of gravity.

Deeply Restorative Yoga with Laura Kallen
December 8. 3:00 – 5:00 pm
Restorative Yoga is a quieting and nourishing practice. When we are distracted and rushing, there is a layer of anxiety and tension on top of our movements. Restorative yoga helps to set the stage for peeling away the layers of tension, for releasing emotional stresses and physical misalignments. Restorative yoga is an opening and receptive practice which helps to facilitate health and healing. It’s a beautiful compliment to a vinyasa practice.
Benefits of Restorative Yoga include relieving symptoms of chronic stress which can help to:
-Lower heart rate
-Increase fertility
-Increase in creativity
-Heals the organs and digestive system
-Create a deeper sense of stillness which can benefit and encourage a meditation practice
-Strengthens the immune system
-Restores the natural alignment of the physical body and the breath
Restore and rest in this 2 hour practice. Learn how to take your restorative yoga practice and integrate it into your life, deepening the connection to yourself and opening the door to meditation, feeling more balanced and peaceful and stress management. All levels are welcome.
Pre-registration is highly encouraged as space is limited and this workshop is very popular.
