Upstate Yoga is truly unique and truly wonderful! I have been to many yoga studios (central New York, Manhattan, the midwest...) and never found a place so deeply rooted in knowledge (of yoga postures, breathing, yoga philosophy, meditation, chanting - the whole yoga experience), and also so compassionate toward their students. The teachers are all extremely well-trained, and they try to give their students the most beneficial yoga experience possible - every time. The facility is beautiful - filled with plants and light and a calm, peaceful energy. There is no pressure to look or dress a certain way - it is a "come as you are," very accepting environment. Every time I go to class here, I leave feeling better - physically and usually emotionally as well. I moved to Syracuse four years ago and feel so fortunate to have found my yoga home.

I truly love Upstate Yoga Institute. I'm so grateful that I have found this place. David's teaching is an amazing experience. Martine's background in all of her teaching experience is so greatly appreciated. This place has transformed me into the person I have become and I am so very thankful. Thank you Upstate Yoga!!

I have done yoga here for the last two years. You may not have been yet? This quiet studio is the best of any I have ever been to. You might still be looking for the yoga studio where you can connect to your inner-self, not just bend your body? This is the place. It's no workout, it's an incredible meditation.

Very relaxing experience. I needed a method to exercise on a regular basis without doing further damage to certain areas of my body. This is providing me some help with that goal in mind.
