With so many yoga styles available, it is often difficult for beginners to know how to start and sustain a yoga practice. The best way to get started is under the guidance of a skilled teacher like Linda Lalita Winnick.

This comprehensive workshop, for people of all ages and all levels of experience, provides an overview of the basic yoga postures, as well as the many styles of yoga available. We learn physical poses (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), spiritual philosophy, and meditation.

We practice proper alignment of the body, coordination of breath and movement, holding the postures, and flowing from one pose to another. In addition, we determine which styles are most appropriate for us, explore how to continue our yoga practice at home, and get recommendations on yoga books and videos.

Wear comfortable clothing for moving and stretching; yoga mats and props are provided. Linda Winnick is also teaching Shakti Yoga, August 10-15.

Linda Lalita Winnick, MA, owner of Shakti Yoga in Woodstock, Saugerties, and Kingston, New York, has more than 20 years’ experience studying yoga and teaches more than 1,000 classes annually.
