Heart and Soul of Yoga in Astoria

To stretch, invigorate and strengthen our bodies, calm our minds and tune into the true needs of our hearts, to explore life’s challenges with yoga philosophy or simply develop a strategy to make it through a difficult time… these are the reasons we start and maintain a yoga practice.

At Heart and Soul of Yoga, through semi-private classes in an intimate setting, our experienced and dedicated teachers help you explore your needs with an approach that is wide ranging, non-dogmatic, all-inclusive and completely compatible with your current beliefs.

Union of body and spirit can come in so many ways, we offer classes that incorporate asana (physical postures), pranayama (awareness and work with the breath), yogic philosophy (the theory behind our physical and energetic existence and how we end our suffering) and meditation (stilling of the mind and resultant experience of relaxation and peace). In addition we offer specialized workshops in all things yogic and holistic. At Heart and Soul of Yoga, we focus on finding a combination and an approach that will work for you.

ISHTA, (where many of our teachers were trained) directly translated from Sanskrit means ‘individualized’, so we favor the use of props to facilitate the poses for all shapes, sizes and flexibilities. We offer modifications for those with injuries, help our prenatal students gracefully transition through pregnancy and beyond, and with classes no larger than 5 or 6 students and frequently less, we can do all this with an eye on what is right for you. Yoga helps us all to honor who we are physically, emotionally and spiritually, aligning us to our true nature, allowing us to evolve, heal and grow.

For a complete list of the types of class we offer look under the classes tab at the top of this page. Check out our schedule for regularly scheduled classes and the events page for special classes and workshops.  Go ahead and sign up for a class or call or e-mail to discuss an individual approach.

We look forward to working with you. Namaste.
