About Binghamton Yoga

Binghamton Yoga began in 2004, as a result of a need for like-minded yogis to have a place to come together and practice. Our practice began with Ashtanga yoga and since has evolved into a breath-centered Vinyasa Flow practice.

Our classes will challenge you both mentally & physically. As breath is blended with movement and movement blended with focus your core temperature will rise and your body will begin bending in ways you never expected. This is not the kind of yoga that puts you to sleep or that will bore you.

Please bring an open mind and come prepared to experience an uplifting & vigorous workout.

Vinyasa Flow

A moderate intensity class consisting of a flowing sequence of postures, with emphasis on the linking of breath with movement. Be prepared to sweat as you build strength and increase flexibility. This class is appropriate for those with some yoga experience or for those seeking a more physically challenging practice.

Hatha

A lower intensity class, with emphasis on breath awareness, proper alignment and holding of postures. This class will focus on hip and shoulder opening, offering an excellent foundation for beginning yoga students. This class is appropriate for those new to yoga or for those looking to refine their existing vinyasa practice.

Preparing For Class

Some Guidelines and Recommendations to Enhance Your Yoga Experience

• If you have your own yoga mat, please bring it, otherwise you can borrow one from us. We recommend purchasing your own for cleanliness and so you can practice at home, of course!
• Wear comfortable, but snug clothing. Dress in layers if possible.
• Please leave your shoes and personal belongings to the side of the practice space.
• Turn cell phones off or to silent mode during class.
• Practice on an empty stomach.
• Mention any preexisiting injuries or special conditions you may have to the instructor at the beginning of class.
• Abandon the competitive mind set and check your ego at the door. Yoga is not about doing what the person next to you is doing, but rather it is about doing what you can do each time you step on the mat.
