Chiropractor, massage therapist, mental health counselors, nutrition experts and yoga. I went to the Tuesday night yoga class run by Joanna and it was wonderful! This hatha yoga class focused on relaxation. It was a 90 minute candle lit yoga session filled with light stretching, mindfulness and guided meditation. She even has tea for her Yogi's. The best part is the cost- only $5.00! She also teaches a more fitness based yoga class every Sunday morning at 9am for the same price. If you want to be a frequent yogi, you can get a 4 class pass for $20.00. I purchased the 4 class pass because I was so impressed with it. I can't wait to try the Sunday class. Here's a little tip, it's cash only so make sure you bring it with you. Also, you do not have to bring your own equipment- the studio has everything you will need but you're welcome to bring your own if you like.

It was a lovely experience and at the time for me kind of eye opening as I have always been interested in other religions. It's basically an integration of Eastern and Western Spirituality. They have all sorts of events and different offerings like yoga, teacher training, classes and kids camp. To give you more of an idea here's some info from the website. I have not taken photos inside unless I would ask. Thing is it was a lovely experience and I need to go back. It's not down the street but they were a really nice and kind group of people and very welcoming. "Located in Rochester, New York, The Assisi Institute is a place of stillness, silence, and peace. Our mission is to support individuals who seek a deeper relationship with God. We study and practice two spiritual traditions: Kriya Yoga, a yoga of breath and meditation, and Mystical Christianity. Kriya Yoga was brought to the United States in 1920 by the great Hindu guru and author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda. Our Christian gurus include Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, and others. All of our study and practice is compatible with any spiritual tradition, or no tradition." They have there own parking lot and the area is fairly quite.

In this era of separation from others, when you're likely streaming an exercise video at home and completing it solo (vs going to a gym or studio class), this was SUCH a nice way to exercise and commune with others! I was very pleasantly surprised what an uplifting  difference I felt from my typical yoga and meditations -- after attending a virtual Yoga & Meditation class with Melissa Kleehammer with and about 60 others. I learned new-to-me poses and stretches. And LOVED the concluding meditation. And later in the evening when I was doing some P.T. exercises I've been prescribed, I noticed they were MUCH easier -- I have to assume it's from Melissa's yoga -- so it really WAS what was needed for "busy minds and tired bodies!" Overall, a wonderful, wonderful way to spend a cold, quarantined Valentine's weekend day. Super grateful to Melissa for leading us!

I have been practicing yoga for two years. All of my instruction has been at Beyond Yoga. I…read moreoriginally started because I was looking to alleviate some tightness in my back and hips. I never expected benefits to reach beyond physical. Yes, I know how to work out the stiffness now, my posture has improved and I generally feel healthier, but more importantly I feel settled and calm. The focus I have learned through practice is helping me work through all life's issues with a new-found confidence and calm. I am more mindful of the effects of my words and actions as well. Beyond Yoga aims to nurture the body and mind of all students. It is not an exercise class. The class sizes are purposely small so that the instructors can craft the practices to fit the needs and abilities of its students. No two practices have ever been the same. Each practice is well thought out and challenging. I always leave the studio feeling like I am going to make a positive impact on the day. I will practice for the rest of my life and I hope my instructors will always be near for support.
