Welcome to Yoga Classes at the Prana Center in Holliston!

Mind, Body and Spirit.

If you haven’t tried Kripalu Yoga classes, you are in for a treat. There’s a special feeling in each Kripalu class as if you’re coming home to your own body, mind, and spirit. Our Kripalu-trained teachers help you develop mind, body, and spirit in a compassionate, non-judgmental way. You are guided to move at your own pace, honoring your body’s needs in each moment. You will stretch and tone muscles, and leave feeling energized and refreshed. All classes include pranayama (breathing exercises) and deep relaxation; some include seated meditation and Yoga Nidra. All Kripalu classes at the Prana Center include suggestions for modifications as needed. The practice of Kripalu Yoga comes from a long tradition in India and teachers are trained at the beautiful Kripalu Center in Stockbridge, MA

Warm, welcoming class!

If you’ve meant to try Yoga, but something is holding you back, Beginner’s Yoga is a wonderful way to get started.
Yoga is a proven way to increase strength, flexibility, and balance, and is wonderfully relaxing. You will learn to breathe more deeply and find levels of peace and serenity you didn’t know were possible. Western science has recently caught up to what experienced practitioners know for sure in their bodies and minds – yoga (when practiced carefully with a certified teacher) truly helps heal aches and pains. It can help you manage weight and overall health.

A student writes:

I LOVE the class. Just love it love it love it. I sleep like a baby after each class. I swear it’s already contributed to my lowered blood pressure (confirmed by my tracking and doctor). During times of stress outside of class, I feel I’m already now equipped to breathe and relax and take myself to a peaceful state of mind I’ve never reached before thanks to this class. – Brook Henderson, Holliston

All Fitness Levels Welcome!
This class is for those of any fitness level and experience, from absolute beginners to those who want a brush-up!
Some good things to know: Yoga is done wearing comfortable clothes. Layers are great as we warm-up and cool down. Yoga is generally done barefoot. The Prana Center has mats you can borrow, and water is always available at no charge. There is a place to change if you want that!

Be Strong.

This powerful, enjoyable class adds low amounts of resistance to aid in building lean muscle and bone density. It is terrific for toning and weight management. The perfect class if you are looking to get stronger in a safe, controlled setting. Appropriate for all levels, including beginners. The teachers use a variety of tools, including hand weights and resistance bands, for a fun and varied practice. 

Every Friday and the first Sunday of the month, we practice Yoga on the Ball, using a stability ball along with hand weights for a full, varied practice. Mondays, we focus on hand weights. The class is also available on occasional Thursday mornings. Make sure you’re on the Prana email list for updates! 

Candlelight and Chocolates!

This incredibly relaxing candlelight class weaves in gentle movement and stretching with a series of prop-supported postures that you hold passively, unwinding deeply-held tension and restoring balance to mind, body, and spirit. Roberta reads you poetry as you breathe and stretch into bliss. Class ends with deep relaxation guided by Roberta’s soothing voice, to ease you into a good night’s sleep. Have a chocolate after class, and appreciate it with mindfulness.

Restorative Yoga with Roberta is generally held the first Wednesday night of each month, from 7-8 pm. Come at 6:45 to set up if you can. Check the schedule for any changes due to holidays or vacations

Build your core!

You are only as strong as your core! Yoga Core is a great Yoga class for anyone who wants to strengthen core muscles and build overall physical strength. A variety of methods are used from class to class, including work with Yoga Balls, floor work, core building during Vinyasa flow, and much more. Mary-Ellen (pictured) is a friendly, fun teacher who encourages you to go deeper and work harder, with compassion and mindfulness!
