Amenia Yoga is such a gem! They offer a variety of classes that really work for all levels, with an emphasis on staying fit as we age. Sarahs teaching style is very engaging, relaxing and informative. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge about her craft and I always feel beautifully guided thru each class. Amenia Yoga is a place where you will find community as well, sometimes we are served tea after class much is so sweet. As someone who’s known for ages that I should do yoga but never liked it, I can truly say that I have found my haven at Amenia yoga!

I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and Amenia Yoga to everyone! Sarah is sincerely committed to enhancing the well being of each of her students, regardless of their skill level. I have noticed a significant improvement in my strength and flexibility since I began taking Sarah's Wise and Strong classes. Sarah takes the time to explain not only the necessary moves but she explains the science behind them and how they will improve the functioning and strength of each of the muscles or body parts.

In just three sessions of this magnificent “one hour per week class”, your body will change. One day you’ll pick up something that typically you found cumbersome, but suddenly it is an easy lift. Your upper body will open as your back muscles strengthen and your posture aligns. The routine is easy to understand and self-paced. When you finish you will be completely and thoroughly spent - in a good way. Sarah provides expert guidance and patience. I cannot recommend this class highly enough. Kathleen

I have regularly attended Amenia Yoga's morning classes biweekly for two and a half years and strength training weekly for one year. It is great to have been able to build a morning routine that improves my strength, balance and posture. Sarah is a knowledgable instructor who teaches us an awareness of our anatomy in addition to modeling poses and exercises. She caters for different levels and individual modifications according to our needs.
Sarah is also eager to build a community of people who build connections as we practice. Newcomers are made welcome and always introduced to the group. After class Sarah serves tea and we have time to get to know each other.
I feel blessed to have found such a wonderful resource in our community. Membership of Amenia Yoga has helped me physically, mentally and socially as I have adjusted to a changing lifestyle in my retirement.

I love Amenia Yoga! Sarah Wallace guides her classes with directness, clarity and humor. She starts each day by introducing everyone in the group, building a sense of community that extends to the conversations at the end. Sarah’s yoga instruction provides a framework for increasing strength, balance and flexibility and she is attentive to the safety and needs of her students. Sarah provides accessible building blocks for classic asanas held just long enough, with options for flow portions so each student can find their place. While the individual practice is unique, there is a strong sense of shared breath and laughter. Each class ends with a breathing exercise, and Sarah signals the end of shavasana with the lovely tones drawn from crystal bowls. Heather teaches the Friday evening flow class, which is lovely and dynamic.

2023 while reading posts on the Amenia Wassaic page I saw Sarah’s post about Amenia Yoga – a place for Wellness. Suffering from the winter doldrums, I contacted her about finding a class that would be good for me. This was life changing! In May I joined the Wisdom Yoga morning class which has improved my posture, balance, breathing and most of all, movement. As a teacher, Sarah is very knowledgeable about the yoga practice and the effects it has on the human body. Her studio is always warm, friendly, and clean. Every class is a new learning experience! She makes sure every student is performing the pose correctly even helping with innovated ways to achieve the pose to the best of their ability. Sarah then introduced me to her Friday morning class of Wise and Strong! I never would have thought that at the age of 70 and suffering with balance issues, A/R, and Lupus that I would be able to do a forearm plank let alone hold it for 59 seconds – balancing on one foot for the Tree pose while moving my arms in the air - doing the wall sit for over 2 minutes (just a few of my proud achievements). Thank you, Sarah, for giving me this opportunity.

I have been doing yoga with Sarah for a couple of years and I absolutely love it! It is a gentle practice and yet I can feel that my body (and my mind) have changed a lot. I feel stronger and much more flexible and I noticed that I have much more energy than before.

Great thing about zoom sessions is that I can keep a routine when I am travelling!Also, Sarah is always bringing new elements to the class which feels dynamic and never repetitive.

The practice is giving me more confidence and I now feel that my body is more fluid and better prepared to other physical exercises as well.

Highly recommend it!!!

I’m participating in Foundations of Yoga. I have been practicing yoga for many years, but I have never taken a class that focused so specifically on foundations. I’m learning so much! Our instructor, and owner, Sarah Wallace, does a superior job combining the practice, philosophy and science of yoga. I really enjoy the flow she is building as we learn foundations of poses. I’m used to a vinyasa that always includes high to low push up, upward facing dog, downward facing dog to link asanas. I have quite a sore shoulder, so moving through the warrior series with the flow Sarah is teaching is much better for me. She truly teaches yoga for every body 🙏🏻

I was looking for a yoga studio to start up my practice again having lapsed during Covid and was going to be in Amenia for the Summer. I saw Amenia Yoga on google and it was my first and last stop. Sarah is a great teacher and very knowledgable about anatomy in general and I have been going three times a week for the past nearly 6 weeks. I have been doing the "Wise" yoga twice a week and "Wise and Strong" on Fridays which is a body strengthening class. Great for post menopausal women and older men. These classes are tailored for the older person but still challenging and Sarah cleverly gears them to the class members present. It's a lovely yoga community.
I am going to really miss it when I return to London and I'm trying to work out if I can do it remotely with the time difference. Don't hesitate to give it a try.

I have practiced yoga for 40 years with varying degrees of intensity. I've had many different yoga teachers. Sarah's class is by far the best class I've ever attended. I've been going to Wisdom Yoga regularly for 5 months and I can really tell the difference as far as body effects; I'm stronger and my balance has improved. Sarah is knowledgeable about human anatomy and has the ability to gear her class to individual concerns such as osteoporosis, balance issues, and injuries. Highly recommended!!

Sarah’s classes challenge me to reach new milestones. I’ve noticed a big difference in my balance and posture. My postural improvement actually reduced my low back pain, THANK YOU so much! I look forward to more classes! Recently, Sarah has been focusing on strength training and building muscles for post menopausal women. If you are local, I recommend taking this class. Sarah is knowledgeable about anatomy, which sets her apart from other yoga instructors.

Amenia Yoga is a wonderful addition to our community. I am practicing Yoga with the owner, Sarah Wallace who is a great teacher. I have been noticing marked improvement in my balance and overall mood. It has even been helping alleviate pain in my neck/shoulders, lower back, legs and feet while helping to strengthen my core. I also notice that it inspires me to be present and make healthier choices, a trajectory worth exploring.
I highly recommend Amenia Yoga; there are classes with talented instructors for anyone interested in some self care.
I have been practicing for just a few months but look forward to continuing Yoga and making it a part of my daily routine because it feels good even though it isn't easy.
We all start somewhere, so why not start at Amenia Yoga? :)

I joined Sarah‘s class on Monday evenings in Jan of this year to gain muscle strength and to help my fibromyalgia. I can honestly say that I feel stronger. I am no longer in pain sitting at my desk all day long, I am no longer in pain getting out of my car. In fact, my legs don’t give out anymore when I stand up from getting out of my car. These may be simple tasks to most people , however, I had become complacent for the past 3 years. Yoga with Sarah has revived my entire body and mind. I have taken on a second class as well because I am learning yoga also relieves my stress from every day life issues. I feel empowered after Sarah’s class every time , it is an amazing feeling.

I have been taking the Wise & Strong class on Fridays. I love this class. My strength has increased remarkably in just a few months and I feel much more fit overall. In addition, my once chronic knee pain has subsided. Sarah is an amazing and patient teacher and the class environment is supportive and calm. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to become stronger and improve their balance and overall sense of well-being.

I have always wanted to try Yoga. I have recently retired and now have time to devote to learning Yoga. I tried Amenia Yoga at the recommendation of a friend and it has been a truly fantastic endeavor. I have been going almost a month now at least 3 times a week. Sarah is very supportive and encouraging. She gears the classes towards the participants needs. I can see improvement in strength, flexibility and balance. I notice improvements each time. I still have a long way to go, but with Sarah's instruction....I will keep improving and reach my goals.
Sarah knows how to encourage and support my efforts. She provides great instruction. She tailors the poses and exercises to the individual and provides the right amount of encouragement to bring you back again.

Everything about this experience was incredible and exceeded my expectations in every way. I call it experience cause it definitely felt more than a yoga class, I enjoyed it so much that I resumed my regular practice after years of focusing on other types of exercises. The peaceful and homie environment of the studio, Sarah’s warm hospitality (she truly makes you feel like a friend), and the actual yoga techniques learned really allowed me to see the magic of this practice.
Sarah’s soothing and educated approach to teaching allowed me to focus my practice and breath into parts of my body I didn’t know desperately needed my attention. My body thank me for this for days after the class. I left that day with a clear mind, feeling peaceful and joyful and full of energy to continue working on my practice. Highly recommend Amenia Yoga to anyone who is looking for a holistic practice, that will not only bring endless benefits to your body but also to your soul. Thank you Sarah for this amazing experience, it does truly make me want to look for excuses to get away from the busy city and find refugee upstate.

If you're looking for a place to experience the benefits of yoga at any age and any level, you couldn't choose a better place than Amenia, or a better instructor than Sarah! She has the passion, experience and patience to lead you along your personalised path to wellness gently, yet firmly, encouraging you every step of the way. At Amenia, it's not about appearances, it's about reaching inside yourself and learning to treat your body and your spirit with the loving care we all need and deserve.

Sarah is an amazing highly educated yoga therapist. She understands the body dynamics to help one heal from an injury or develop ones innermost strength. Her passion and love of her subject is strong. She cares a lot and uses her expertise to go the extra mile to help us become better and work through the learning curves of new yoga positions. Yoga is a full body strengthening for her. One of my favorite parts was Face Yoga to help keep our faces soft and youthful.

This was truly an amazing event! My friend and I attended and loved how the breathing exercises and yoga was incorporated with the therapeutic riding center. Sarah led us through a beautiful yoga session out in the sun with horses present which was a very calming and grounding experience. Afterward we were led through some therapeutic activities with the horses and goats. The event included a fabulous plant based meal. Overall, the best day I have experienced in a while. I highly recommend this event and can’t wait to join again in the future!

The collaboration between Amenia Yoga (Sarah) and Hope Rising Farm (Jackie/staff/volunteers) made for a glorious and highly memorable several hours. As someone who does a lot of yoga but spends little or no time around animals, the day left me craving to ride a horse some day soon. With the sun shining and horses roaming freely around us, Sarah led a refreshing heart opening yoga sequence in a riding ring that helped center and acquaint us with our surroundings. Afterwards, we were sensitively challenged individually and collectively to communicate nonverbally with these majestic animals (even goats) and each other via different exercises. We were also fed a homecooked vegetarian meal with one of the best veggie burgers I've had. I left feeling greater kinship with horses, pleased with humanity, and happy to have pushed my envelope.
