Upstate Yoga Institute

Since 1983, our mission and our passion has been to guide others towards increased health and overall well-being through yoga. Whether we are teaching a group or a private yoga class, we strive to respect the ancient model of learning and tailor our instruction to meet the needs of the participating students and present the teachings in a way that is consistent with the philosophy of yoga. Yoga postures are introduced in a gradual and systematic manner in coordination with proper breathing. People who are new to yoga can be sure they are learning the postures in a correct manner while becoming more conscious of their breathing. In a very short time, conscious breathing becomes a form of meditation that calms restless thoughts, supports energy, and strengthens the immune and nervous systems. Over time, our ultimate goal is to lead students towards an independent practice that will bring the benefits of yoga into their daily lives.
