Old Town Yoga

Old Town Yoga turns 8 years old today! 🎉

Looking back, it’s hard to put into words just how much this journey has meant. From opening our doors in 2016 to teaching thousands of yoga classes, navigating a pandemic, and creating lifelong connections—gratitude has been the thread weaving it all together. 💛

As we prepare to start our ninth year, I’m thrilled to share a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT that we’ve purchased our very own building! ✨

This new space, opening in late spring 2025, marks the beginning of a new chapter for Old Town Yoga—one filled with even more opportunities for growth, stability, and community.

Want to hear the full story and what’s next? Head to our studio blog to read all about it!

Thank YOU for being a part of this journey. Here’s to the road ahead! 🫶

Are you curious to learn more about yoga philosophy? Join Desiree for Sutra School- a monthly workshop that will focus on breaking down the Yoga Sutras in an accessible and engaging way. You’ll learn how to apply these teachings to everyday challenges, bringing greater clarity, balance and purpose to your life.

Begin the new year with clarity and purpose through the transformative practice of Kriya Yoga, as outlined in Sutra 2.1 in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This two-hour session will explore the threefold path of tapas (discipline), svadhyaya (self-study), and Ishvarapranidhana (surrender to the divine). Discover how these principles resonate with timeless wisdom, including the Serenity Prayer, to reduce obstacles, foster inner growth, and set actionable intentions for the year ahead.

Old Town Yoga is proud to present a workshop that you won’t want to miss- Gravity & Grace: The Power of Surrender and Intuitive Response with Peter Sterios. Peter has been part of the global yoga community for over four decades as a teacher, designer, founder, award-winning author, and philanthropist. He founded MANDUKA® and LEVITYoGA™, taught yoga at the Obama White House for 3 years, and in 2018, he spoke as a wellness expert for the US Marine Corps at the Pentagon.
 
At its heart, this workshop will awaken intuitive ways to find balance and softness in your practice, using the subtle body elements of Gravity & Grace that Peter discovered while healing from a broken back. These simple practices will open you to personal, unexpected discoveries that help create a yoga-inspired guide for living and healing. Working this way has a profound effect on your nervous and immune systems, allowing you the fullest potential of your body’s ability for strength, flexibility and balance naturally.
This workshop will introduce the non-physical elements of Gravity & Grace, gateways into what ancient yogi’s referred to as sukshma sharira (subtle body) – considered the most trustworthy theoretical foundation for safe and well-balanced practice. Movement during this class will include a short Opening Sequence warm-up, followed by a Dynamic (Vinyasa-style) Sequence of poses that build balance, heat, whole body circulation, and mental clarity that ultimately produces lightness (Levity) and joy (Ananda). Instruction is designed for all levels of yoga experience.

Stay after class to get your own copy of Gravity & Grace signed by Peter! Copies available to purchase in the lobby.

If the idea of holding a 2-minute plank makes you shudder, this workshop is for you!

Plank is one of the most frequently practiced Yoga poses, yet obstacles can get in the way of our practice and progress. Do we take it out or do we reframe our approach?

This workshop focuses on healthy mobility, alignment, and strengthening using a wide array of props (including light resistance bands) to develop understanding and proprioception. We will explore deeper concepts, such as tensegrity, and find the perfect plank for our unique needs.
