Shraddhā Yoga

Shraddhā Yoga In-person & online classes, teacher trainings, retreats and pilgrimages to India Our intention is for yoga to infuse every aspect of our work.

Shraddhā Yoga is a yogic enterprise, a community devoted to embodying truth, wholeness, and love. At the heart of yoga is unity with each other, with the essential self, and with the Divine Beloved. Shraddhā Yoga’s “Pay From Your Heart” model aligns with this unity. We welcome all to share the gifts of yoga, for no one is outside of our human family. We offer online and in-person yoga classes, workshops, and teacher trainings, as well as outdoor yoga classes in the summer months.

“Backbending” is a way to explore how we do or do not lean back into that which we trust and to inquire into why we expand, and where we come from when we do…

What do you trust?
Do you know that you are loved, carried and held in an ocean of love?
Can you lean back into this ocean of love?
Do you know the radiant ocean of consciousness within you?

Is there fear and if so, do you hold yourself and others compassionately?

Can you allow you heart to rest AND stay open on all sides. Not just open in the front - but open in the back, sides, top and bottom?

And from where inside of you do you expand out from?
Is your expansion and going out into the world from a place of inner comfort, inner rightness, truth and fullness? Or is it from a place of insecurity or depletion?

The consciousness and inner mechanics of backbending is fascinating to explore.

We will explore this and SO much more in the 2026/27 Yoga Immersion and Teacher Training in collaboration with .noho

The Yoga traditions are overflowing with sacred texts. They teach us about ourselves, relationships, the nature of the mind, the truth of the soul/Self, love, self-realization, god-realization, ultimate truth, purpose and duty in life, cosmic forces, evolution, death and rebirth, peace, liberation, freedom, consciousness, joy and unity with the divine. And more!

Gathering with beloved community to read, meditate, contemplate and share from our hearts with one another is a precious gift. We are grateful to create this new online circle.

All are warmly welcome, no previous experience required. This is a heart-centered inquiry/study circle for all practioners and students of yoga, rather than a gathering of researchers & scholars.

We will begin this April with the Śiva (Shiva) Sutras.
The Śiva Sutras are a collection of 77 profound, concise aphorisms (verses) that form the core of Kashmir Shaivism. They focus on the nature of consciousness, self-realization, and the path to inner joy/awakening. These teachings support us in recognizing and embodying the divine consciousness within all things and in all aspects of life. These teachings were revealed by the awakened ones of the Śaiva tradition, who lived in the mountains on the east side of the Valley of Kashmīr in the ninth century. The Śiva-sūtras were gathered and compiled by the great Sage Vasugupta.

WHEN:
2nd and 4th Monday of each month (if there is a lot of interest we can make it weekly)
7:30pm ET - 4:30pm PT - 5:00am IST (Tuesday)

Rec rate: $20 to drop-in or use the PFYH slider to slide down as needed
Included in all Shraddhā sustainerships
Facilitated by Corinne Andrews

Each circle will include: a centering practice, introductions, reading 1-3 sutras and the commentary, meditation and heart-centered dialogue. There may be also be some prānāyāma, mantra, journal prompts, and questions to help take the group deeper.

We will be using the commentary by Swami Lakshmanjoo (it isn’t so much a written commentary but rather a compilation from his devotees from the many talks Swamiji gave.) We may also reference the translation and commentary from Paul Muller-Ortega, or Christopher Hareesh Wallis.

This monthly meet-up is for anyone who is in or has participated in:
~ 100-hour immersion
~ 200-hour yoga teacher training
~ 300-hour yoga teacher training
~ India pilgrimage

This circle is to support ourselves and each other in experiencing the whole of our lives as a living yoga sādhana (spiritual practice). And to explore how the profound teachings of yoga weave into our everyday lives.

It is also a way for those who have completed a yoga immersion, teacher training or pilgrimage to come together each month to connect and share within the context of yoga, creating a lasting community of yoga practitioners, teachers and and seekers of Truth.

These evenings may include prānāyāma, dharana, dhyana, simple gentle āsana, a reading from a book or text, and mindful sharing in breakout groups or as a whole community.
Come and be seen, heard and held in love!

We bow down in gratitude for each beautiful being that joined us for this year’s South India pilgrimage.
It was a profound experience for each individual and us as a whole group.
The inner work and healing that happened for each person will most certainly ripple out to all of our communities as we each settle into wherever home is.
Many more photos and details to share but here are some pics to get a taste.

Deepen your engagement & experience of Yoga through chanting.

Sanskrit chanting is a powerful aid in one’s practice of yoga. The Sanskrit sounds, when uttered with the right intention and precision, have the power to connect us to the many aspects of the Divine and enhance our sādhanā.

Amongst the many forms of chanting, Vedic chanting is the most powerful and profound. Veda mantras can be imagined as cosmic vibrational patterns that were revealed to ṛṣis (seers) in their deeply meditative states, in the form of sound

This two-part workshop is only offered 1/year, so we hope you’ll come and join our beloved .sangeetha.22 for this beautiful online opportunity.

Join to learn how Ayurveda, the world’s most ancient healing system and yoga’s “sibling science”, can support you in you in each moment of your day.

Learn the fundamentals and find greater wholeness, health and vitality with an Ayurvedic lifestyle and practices.

Ayurveda stems from the root Sanskrit words “ayu,” meaning “life” and “veda” meaning “knowledge.” It is, literally, the knowledge of life. Ayurveda deepens your experience of yoga—to live a life of maximal health and spiritual fulfillment, on and off the mat and cushion. Health is defined as a state of balance of the body, mind, soul and five senses in Ayurveda.

This online workshop is part of our current immersion/YTT and we have opened it up for anyone to drop-in, we hope you will join us!

We had a wonderful workshop with during last Saturday’s immersion/YTT

Our feet are amazing!
We came into deep relationship with our beloved feet, ankles, tibia, fibula and knees.
And how we relate to, walk with, give and receive with our beloved Mother Earth.

We’ve got one more Saturday class before we take a couple weeks off for the holy-day time and then we will dive back in for more in 2026

So grateful for this beautiful community and the depths of yoga that we are exploring together

Our Story

Yoga Center Amherst aspires to be a living laboratory for yoga in its widest sense.

There are three sacred streams that join in the heart of Yoga Center Amherst, each with its own individual integrity. Each of these streams informs our work and is represented in our offerings. These streams are Embodyoga and practices that support embodiment, Light Omega and the teachings of Guruji-Ma, and Integral Yoga/Auroville, which includes a deep honoring of the ancient roots of yoga and India and the vastness of its scope. We experience these streams as one, as a unified vibration that is coming into manifestation at YCA.

Yoga Center Amherst seeks to nurture and cultivate the experience of our fundamental unity with the Infinite Creative Spirit without leaving the Earth or our bodies. It seeks to be a space where the One can be found in the many, the infinite in the finite, spiritual reality in our bodies, and throughout our daily lives. For this to be possible Yoga Center Amherst must be more than a yoga studio – it must be a yogic enterprise, where yoga breathes in all its many aspects and flows through its days. So, in addition to providing access to yogic experiences through classes, workshops, teacher trainings, and retreats, we seek to always to align the business with the Divine inspiration that has created it, sustains it, and continually transforms it.
