The Studio will be Closed on Monday, May 29th, Memorial Day.
********************
If you are delayed by the long train and you are on the Voorheesville/Delmar side of the tracks, ie: coming from Rt. 156, (closest to Stewart's) and need an alternate route: take Rt. 156 up the hill to Witter Rd. Turn R. onto Witter and go to end. Turn L. onto Rt. 146 and take next L. onto Street Road.
This mixed level class will explore basic asanas (poses) with greater depth to allow each student to master postures with the “3 E’s” (Engagement, Extension, & Energy!) while building a profound connection with breath, body and mind. You will learn to inhabit each pose, thus letting the distinction between
the pose and You fall away.
