I've heard about the Himalayan Institute for a while, but finally took the plunge and signed up for a 6-week long class series of their "Level II" yoga classes last night. The Himalayan Institute is a wonderful 501(3)c non-profit that offers yoga classes, workshops, lectures, etc inside their elegant mansion on Delaware Ave. When you stop in, you feel like you're inside a cozy home. There's a place to take off your shoes and an immediate bookstore to your left. Further down, there's the main living room where classes take place. It helps to take a class that has 10-12 people and not too much more as the room can get pretty crowded with 16+ people or so I hear. Here's what stands out about the Himalayan Institute: their yoga classes generally center around a meditation-practice. As a result, I feel incredibly relaxed and focused afterward. As opposed to some classes (such as Evolation), where I sweat like I'm inside some Finnish bathhouse and leave the class with more of an exercise high. With most classes, you have to sign up for a full 6-week commitment (usually $80), although they do offer drop-in classes on Thursdays from 5:30-6:30pm for beginners ($5) and on Saturdays (9:30-11am) for a more intermediate ($10) practice. In summary, I adore their meditative approach, yoga teachers as well as the novelty of practicing yoga inside a cozy old mansion. Unfortunately, there are no accessible showers in the facility, but there is a bathroom where you can change.

Looking to work on your self-awareness and the art of reflection? This meditation practice hits…read morethat spirituality spot in your soul. No stop that runaway imagination of yours! :) It's not a place where you will get indoctrinated into a religious group or be subject to a cult like environment. The meditation group meets Thursdays at 7 pm and is currently running their practice once a week at the Jung Center. The sitting meditation is led by a trained group lead who guides the participants through 2 sessions of 30 minute sessions where the participant sits in a meditation pose and concentrates on a focal point and focus on gentle breathing. There is an intermission of 10 minutes where the group walks to improves circulation before sitting for the second sitting session. The evening is closed with a selected 4 minute passage from a book on meditation, mindfulness or Buddhist theme and followed by tea and light socialization for anyone wishing to linger and enjoy company. Every now and then there are workshops that are organized. This is a very welcoming group and I thank Jenny for her warm introduction. This group is a mixed bag of demographics: young 20's to 60's and different religious affiliations. You do not need to be Buddhist to participate in drop in sitting meditation; you just need an open-mind and a desire to improve your mindfulness and ultimately quality of life. You should plan on arriving 15 minutes early to receive an introduction to sitting poses and breathing technique if you are visiting for the first time. Second Sunday- morning, they offer a longer session of meditation (Nyinthun) to deepen our practice. Third Thursday - After the regular one hour of sitting and walking meditation, a DVD or audio dharma talk is offered by one of the Shambhala teachers.

"If you don't make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness" -…read moreAnonymous I'm not trying to be a wise ass, but at one point in everyone's life this quote should be an everyday mantra. How fun is that? Sounds like something we have to struggle to achieve. However, it doesn't have to be like that, because places like The Schoolhouse Wellness Center exist. It is located in a beautifully renovated building in a quiet, cozy nook of Lockport. Surrounded by a pretty, well maintained garden is an inviting and cheerful space. I felt only a good energy and positive feeling during my visit. I need to re-learn and constantly remind myself of the three "R"s; Relax Your Body, Restore Your Mind, Renew Your Spirit. Their website describes classes in Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Meditation, but I think the best way is to call and ask about the actual schedule. Also a variety of massage and bodywork treatments are available. It's such a wonderful place, worth giving it a try. Their mantra: "We believe the key to life is balance. A balance of work and play. Holding on and letting go. Chaos and calm. Giving and receiving. Strength and softness. Effort and ease. Inhale and exhale. Find that sweet spot."
