What to bring: Bring a mat along. We practice outside in the barnyard and there is very little shade. Wear sunscreen and a hat, and bring plenty of water!

Class descriptions
Kundalini: Kundalini yoga incorporates movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, and the chanting of mantras, such as Sat Nam, meaning “truth is my identity.” The goal is to build physical vitality and increase consciousness.
Yin Yoga: A low, slow, passive style, Yin Yoga lengthens and strengthens the connective tissues of the body – the tendons, fascia and ligaments – while allowing the mind and breath to practice relaxed presence and awareness even in times of stress and discomfort.
Yoga For All: Yoga For All is based in the Ashtanga tradition and provides multiple options for poses to make them accessible to everyone regardless of previous yoga experience or physical ability. The options offered for poses allow the person to make the best choice for him/herself in that moment.
YogaNuvo Flow: This Vinyasa style makes pose options available to people of varied physical abilities. Even if you never exercised before, or have limited flexibility, this training is for you. Experience the well-documented benefits of yoga, including strength, balance, bone density, flexibility, improved posture and circulation. This flow is based in Hatha yoga, but includes movements inspired by Pilates, belly dancing and tai chi.
Yoga In Nature: Outdoor classes in an idyllic nature setting, at the edge of the forest but without the goats. All four of our yoga styles available.
Chair Yoga in the Meditation Hut: Our covered Meditation Hut is nestled in a grove of trees, a 3-minute walk on grassy ground from the parking lot of Penn Forest. A smaller, more intimate class without the goats but with a beautiful view of the forest. Seated yoga with standing poses optional, but no going down to the floor.
