The Hot Yoga Spot was recently featured on News 10 and Fox 23 for the work we do with veterans through the Yoga With Vets program. This partnership was established between The Hot Yoga Spot and Albany County in 2022 to bring free yoga classes to veterans on a weekly basis. We now offer three yoga classes each week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays nights at our studios in Latham, East Greenbush and Albany NY. The classes are free to attend and perfect for veterans and their support people.

An excerpt from the article:

The program was started in 2022 by Leslie, who is the director of Veteran Services for Albany County. Thanks to the PFC Dwyer Peer to Peer grant secured by the county and the partnership with The Hot Yoga Spot, the classes are offered free of charge twice a week to veterans and their family or friends who are by their side supporting them.

“Yoga is a great way for any veteran or first responder to heal themselves. They can find peace on the mat,” Leslie said.

Our instructor, Paul, was recently featured in Om Yoga Journal for a store he wrote about Savasana. The article dives deep into the actual pose itself as well as why it is important what it can do for you and so much more.

A quick excerpt from reading it to give you a little sneak peek- "Savasana will typically be used to close your session and there is a purpose; as there is for every asana. Corpse pose will bring your body back to a state of homeostasis by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, releasing any remaining muscle tension, and allowing the mind and body to integrate as your blood is circulating to your fully activated systems and your heart rate begins to slow down. The posture is not just a place to rest but a place to rest in peace. Are you allowing your body to rest, relax and take in the benefits of your yoga practice? I must admit that until a year ago, I had taken too many Savasana for granted. "

I know because I was there, blissed out by the vibe of movement, breath, and presence with the large group of strangers. I’ve attended many yoga classes in studios and parks throughout my life, but I had never practiced in a street-wide event and was shocked at how the synergy of the large crowd lifted my heart with each breath.
