Upstate Yoga Institute Reviews
Upstate Yoga is truly unique and truly wonderful! I have been to many yoga studios (central New York, Manhattan, the midwest...) and never found a place so deeply rooted in knowledge (of yoga postures, breathing, yoga philosophy, meditation, chanting - the whole yoga experience), and also so compassionate toward their students. The teachers are all extremely well-trained, and they try to give their students the most beneficial yoga experience possible - every time. The facility is beautiful - filled with plants and light and a calm, peaceful energy. There is no pressure to look or dress a certain way - it is a "come as you are," very accepting environment. Every time I go to class here, I leave feeling better - physically and usually emotionally as well. I moved to Syracuse four years ago and feel so fortunate to have found my yoga home.
