Class Descriptions
Yoga

A soft place to land. Perfect for pregnant and postpartum people, older folks, those with injuries or special conditions, and anyone who's stressed out and needs to chill. Slower paced, deeper & longer time spent in rest, calm & quiet mood.
We use props to support our bodies. We take our time and let ourselves unwind. Deep breaths and moments of mindfulness woven throughout. At the end, we take little beds and make little naps.
A great place to start for those who are new to yoga! Here you move through our beautiful flow slowly and thoughtfully, supported by props in the ways that are right for you.
This nurturing practice helps you connect with the softer and more receptive aspects of your body and mind.

Our signature yoga class - Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for decades, this class is perfect for those looking for a moderately challenging practice that provides a great stretch and light sweat.

This practice includes workshop-style breakout moments and partner work to help you develop the strength and skill for advanced postures like handstands, arm balances, deep core work, backbends, and floating transitions, all with a supportive community of like-minded yogis. While ultimately you'll develop the ability to do hard things easily.

Our most spacious offering, hosted once every month or so. If our signature "everyday practice" is our daily bread & butter, what we need in 45 or 60 or 75 minutes to get ourselves present and connected for our everyday life, The Retreat Practice is that deeply sacred time we can set aside once or twice a season to truly drop into practice.
The Retreat Practice is a reflection of what we already have but don't always fully utilize: Space to be. Space to play. To TAKE OUR TIME. To work our growing edges of practice and go all the way. Try new things. Experiment. Laugh. Work hard. Work together. Release & heal.
The Retreat Practice is TWO hours of Sam's finest teaching, bringing our retreat-style classes from the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica straight to Kinderhook, NY. Best suited for enthusiastic practitioners who love a good sweat and a good challenge. We are so lucky to live in a cozy little village and an area of tremendous natural beauty — all around us are invitations to step back, slow down, and pause to notice all the feelings and sweet things that often get overlooked in the quick coming and goings of doing all the daily tasks.

Wear comfortable, clean clothes that you can move in and feel good in. You don’t need special gear. We practice without shoes (even meditation!). You’re welcome to wear socks if that’s more comfortable for you. No big deal. (but socks can be a bit slippery!).
Please refrain from wearing strong scents and perfumes — we’re sharing space together and everyone has different sensitivities — so thank you for being considerate. -
We recommend coming 10 minutes before class, especially if it’s your first time here. Or if it’s one of our peak classes / times of years (that’s M, W, F at 8:30am and all our weekend classes!).
-
Please plan on arriving 10 minutes or so before class (especially for busy weekend & other peak classes, and during busy times of year like the summer!). If you’re not present at the appointed class start time, we cannot guarantee you a spot in class (some classes have in-studio waitlists that we will open up at class start time if there is space and it is our policy to lock the front door at class start time if there is not front desk staff on hand). Thanks for understanding that we are a small studio with limited spots in each class and a small but mighty staff / teaching team!
-
We’re a small studio with a limited number of spaces per class. Weekend classes at peak times of year typically fill up and run waitlists. Each reservation you make makes a difference! Our cancellation window is 2-hours before the start time of each class. Please log into to your account to cancel yourself or send us an email at hello@villageyoga.co (we’ll catch the time stamp on your message). If you cancel more that 2 hours before the start time of class and are on a class pass or the Essential Membership this is considered an “early cancel” and the class will go back on your class pack / membership. If you cancel within the 2-hour window before each class (“late cancel”) or don’t show up (“no show”) and are on a class pass or the Essential Membership, you will forfeit that class. Monthly unlimited members don’t face the same penalty, but after 3 no-shows, we’ll reserve the right to suspend your reservation abilities during our peak class times (weekends / summer). Thanks for understanding and helping make space for each other!
