Amenia Yoga - a Place for Wellness — Local services in Town of Amenia

2023 while reading posts on the Amenia Wassaic page I saw Sarah’s post about Amenia Yoga – a place for Wellness. Suffering from the winter doldrums, I contacted her about finding a class that would be good for me. This was life changing! In May I joined the Wisdom Yoga morning class which has improved my posture, balance, breathing and most of all, movement. As a teacher, Sarah is very knowledgeable about the yoga practice and the effects it has on the human body. Her studio is always warm, friendly, and clean. Every class is a new learning experience! She makes sure every student is performing the pose correctly even helping with innovated ways to achieve the pose to the best of their ability. Sarah then introduced me to her Friday morning class of Wise and Strong! I never would have thought that at the age of 70 and suffering with balance issues, A/R, and Lupus that I would be able to do a forearm plank let alone hold it for 59 seconds – balancing on one foot for the Tree pose while moving my arms in the air - doing the wall sit for over 2 minutes (just a few of my proud achievements). Thank you, Sarah, for giving me this...

Everything about this experience was incredible and exceeded my expectations in every way. I call it experience cause it definitely felt more than a yoga class, I enjoyed it so much that I resumed my regular practice after years of focusing on other types of exercises. The peaceful and homie environment of the studio, Sarah’s warm hospitality (she truly makes you feel like a friend), and the actual yoga techniques learned really allowed me to see the magic of this practice. Sarah’s soothing and educated approach to teaching allowed me to focus my practice and breath into parts of my body I didn’t know desperately needed my attention. My body thank me for this for days after the class. I left that day with a clear mind, feeling peaceful and joyful and full of energy to continue working on my practice. Highly recommend Amenia Yoga to anyone who is looking for a holistic practice, that will not only bring endless benefits to your body but also to your soul. Thank you Sarah for this amazing experience, it does truly make me want to look for excuses to get away from the busy city and find...

I have regularly attended Amenia Yoga's morning classes biweekly for two and a half years and strength training weekly for one year. It is great to have been able to build a morning routine that improves my strength, balance and posture. Sarah is a knowledgable instructor who teaches us an awareness of our anatomy in addition to modeling poses and exercises. She caters for different levels and individual modifications according to our needs. Sarah is also eager to build a community of people who build connections as we practice. Newcomers are made welcome and always introduced to the group. After class Sarah serves tea and we have time to get to know each other. I feel blessed to have found such a wonderful resource in our community. Membership of Amenia Yoga has helped me physically, mentally and socially as I have adjusted to a changing lifestyle in...
