Yoga in Albany

“Candlelit yoga with Chris is my absolute favorite yoga class. He eases everyone in gently with meditative music, then gradually builds into uplifting vinyasa flows set to a fun mix of pop and occasional EDM. The music makes me want to bebop in the dark while holding some of the more challenging poses, and it helps me stay relaxed and playful instead of intimidated.

He closes each class with calming relaxation and a short inspirational reading while we melt into our yoga mats. Throughout the session, Chris gives clear guidance and encouraging little quips that make it easy to follow along, even in the dark, without constantly needing to look around at everyone else to figure what what I'm supposed to be doing.

The candlelight and warmth of the studio create such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that it honestly makes for a perfect date night or solo reset. The darkness also gives me the freedom to try poses without worrying about looking graceful (or, in my case, like a “broken swan”), and the music kindly disguises the occasional thud when I lose my balance.

Highly recommend!“

“What a joy and relief to find Iyengar trained teachers at Yoga Loft. And by 'Iyengar trained' I mean knowledgeable, creative, attentive and professional.“
