Studio information

509 N Meadow St Ithaca NY 14850

Welcome to your Hometown Yoga Studio!

Yoga Farm Ithaca is a trauma-informed yoga studio, this means many things, one of which is that we generally do not do hands-on assists and adjustments. We also try our best to teach from our own mats.

Adjustments and assists can be great, and they can also be triggering. It also is an assumption made by the yoga teacher that we know what is happening inside a student’s body and experience, which we cannot actually know. If you are a big fan of adjustments and assists, you can make those requests. Some of our teachers may accommodate that, and it is up to the teacher what they feel comfortable with.

We are a global yoga school, and nonprofit organization and our specialties are Kundalini and QiGong. This means that the energy body is the primary focus during all of our classes. In a gentle class, you are likely to also experience breathwork and energetic shifts, beyond the physical layer of the body.

If you are looking for power flow yoga and “workout” focused on the physical body alone, we might not be the spot for you. Here you can expect pranayama, spirituality and whole body wellness in each class.

Belly Dance Basic Moves 
W/ Natalya Cowilich

Friday DECember 20th from 7-8:30pm

Join Natalya at the Yoga Farm downtown studio to participate in a beginner-friendly "basic moves" belly dancing class!

Together we will go over different Belly Dancing Basic Moves from head to toe, engaging our bodies
in the art of isolation, undulation, and channeling serpent-like energy. This workshop is great for folx brand new
to the dance and also works as a great "tune-up class" for more experienced practitioners.

Natalya will provide coin belts to borrow for the duration of the class, as well as silk veils and other props to experiment with and explore. Students are welcome to dress up in belly dancing garb for the workshops, or come in comfortable clothes
that feel right for motion and exploration--whatever makes you feel free and dancy!

The majority of the workshop will feature an exploration of physical motions, flexions, and exercises, with time carved out towards the end for free dancing, the opportunity to learn dance combinations and routines, and experimenting with dance props. All folx are welcome.

Gong Meditation w/ LivAvtar Kaur

Sunday January 12th from 4-5:30pm

During this 90-minute experience, you'll practice a deep meditation before relaxing and opening your mind,
body, and spirit to the healing vibrations of the gongs and other vibrational instruments. You’ll leave feeling
aligned, open to possibility, and deeply at peace.

During a gong meditation, participants are immersed in a symphony of resonant tones and vibrations, which
can help induce profound relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote mental clarity. The
complex and harmonious soundscapes created by the gongs are believed to facilitate a natural healing process, aiding in the release of physical and emotional tension, and encouraging a heightened sense of introspection and mindfulness. Gong meditations can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking an alternative form of meditation that engages multiple senses and offers a path to inner peace and holistic well-being.

Participants can expect to be seated and lying down during the event according to each person’s comfort level. Wear clothes that allow the body to rest comfortably, bring any props you may need and a water bottle.
