Service Description

LifeForce Yoga is an evidence informed yoga practice developed by Amy Weintraub that supports emotional balance, resilience, and wellbeing through breath, movement, sound, and mindful awareness. The approach integrates ancient yogic wisdom with modern neuroscience and mental health understanding. Practicing with the view that each person is whole, interconnected, and capable of change, you'll learn to apply accessible yoga tools to meet yourself where you are, shift energy gently and restore balance and clarity. Classes include breath practices, gentle movement (asana), sound and mantra, visualization (bhavana), hand gestures (mudra), meditation, relaxation, and self inquiry. In this class, yoga is understood as an embodiment practice — training awareness in the body so we can listen more deeply to ourselves and others. Author and long-term somatic leadership coach & educator, Allie Middleton is bringing her years of Kripalu training and yoga therapy practice to Maitri Yoga Troy. Having navigated her decades long journey after injuries with many seasons of significant physical recoveries, Allie acknowledges serious yoga and meditation practices as her personal medicine. She looks forward to sharing this inclusive, gentle methodology with our community.
