Yoga Loka has been Frenchtown's Yoga studio for more than 18 years. Since 2003, Yoga Loka has provided a nurturing, non-competitive environment. We accommodate all skill levels and offer an eclectic mix of classes and workshops. We seek to make Yoga accessible to everyone. Our studio's foundation draws upon the principles of Shree Vidyaa.
Shree Vidyaa is an ancient practice that guides Yogis towards spiritual liberation. So Yoga Loka's classes sometimes include the reciting of mantras and pranayama. Harnessing prana through pranayama, mantra and meditation, calms discomfort and stress. Yoga Loka's classes also adhere to the principals of Structural Yoga Therapy, created by Mukunda Stiles.

All of the teachers at Yoga Loka are Yoga Alliance registered, either at the 200 or the 500 hour level, many in the Saraswati River lineage of vinyasa yoga. While they all come from their own unique places in life, they all share a common passion for yoga and have taken steps to "live yoga". The instructors here are trained to help students modify poses to fit your body through the foundation of Structural Yoga Therapy.

Gather other props like blankets and blocks. If you don't have blocks you can improvise- large text books, packing boxes, large tomato cans. I have even used empty-ish gallon paint cans for blocks which work great because they have handles on them, and the paint will help keep them stabilized!. Surround yourself with things that make you feel peaceful- pictures, statues, candles, etc.
