*** Class Schedule Updates ***

New Class - Offered Now

Gentle Strength 

Weds 9 AM with Nikol

A slow-paced, accessible class designed to help you build essential strength while increasing flexibility through light stretching and simple strengthening exercises that feel good in your body without being fast or intense. Perfect for anyone seeking a calm, balanced practice that leaves you feeling steady, open, and refreshed.  "Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength." Saint Francis de Sales

New Class - Offered Now

Blissful Decompression

Thurs 6 PM with Tracy

An easeful seated flow, where breath and body unfurl together in a moving meditation. Ebb and flow between movement and stretch, creating space in the body and in the quiet places within. The practice gently narrows toward a final moment of restorative stillness- where your body unwinds, your thoughts settle, and your whole being softly recalibrates. Walk out feeling spacious, calm, and deeply at ease.

New Class - Offered Now

Power Vinyasa

Fridays 6 PM with -New Instructor- Sierra Lopez

A strong, energizing flow that links breath with continuous movement. This class focuses on building strength, flexibility, and balance through creative sequences and steady pacing. Options and modifications are offered, making it accessible to a range of experience levels. Expect to move, sweat, and leave feeling empowered and refreshed.

New Class - Offered Now

Chair Yoga

Thursdays 11 AM with -New Instructor- Sierra Lopez

Chair Yoga offers a gentle, accessible practice focused on building strength, flexibility, and ease of movement while catering to unique individual needs that are difficult to meet in a traditional mat class. This practice is perfect for seniors and individuals with disabilities, injuries, or anyone with some balance, strength or flexibility concerns. In chair yoga, all of the poses utilize the chair in some manner and offers all of the same benefits of a traditional yoga practice such as mindful breathing, improved balance, increased muscle tone, greater flexibility, and enhanced peace of mind.

First Saturday Monthly

On the first Saturday of each month, our 9 AM Open Level class is donation-optional. Memberships and class packs may also be used.

Guided by with Nikol Kallinteris

Introducing Sierra Lopez

Join Sierra's Classes:

Power Vinyasa on Fridays at 6 PM 

Chair Yoga on Thursdays 11 AM 

Hello! My name is Sierra Lopez, and I’m a Poconos native with a deep passion for wellness and community. Having lived in the Poconos my entire life, I feel a strong connection to this area and the people in it. After graduating from Bloomsburg University, I’ve focused on blending my love for movement with my creative interests. I hold a 250-hour Classical Yoga Certification received in 2018 with YogaLife Institute. You can usually find me staying active with Yoga, Spin, and Zumba which are my go-to's for staying energized and balanced. When I’m not in the studio, I’m likely leaning into my creative side through reading and writing poetry. To me, life is all about the perfect balance of high-energy movement and quiet, meaningful moments spent with my friends, family, and my beloved fur babies. I am dedicated to making every member feel welcome and empowered. I look forward to meeting you in class!

As a teacher, I have a passion for the simple, immediate, and transformative powers of yoga, breathwork, and meditation.
