What they do
[[bks-iyengar|Iyengar]] yoga, yin, restorative / gentle restorative, core flow, prenatal yoga, mindfulness meditation, and Afro-Future Dance — taught in person, on Zoom, and on-demand. Programs include the Untraining: Reframing Yoga Teacher Training, free BIPOC yoga classes, the MovingPotential community initiative, yoga parties, and workshops.
Director Sondra Loring’s framing is explicit: “At Sadhana, we are revolutionizing yoga to align with justice. Through the lens of movement, we examine the intelligence of our bodies, the language of our senses, and the strength of community.”
Why it’s listed
Most studios that run free BIPOC classes do so as a side program; Sadhana built the premise into the curriculum, the teacher-training name (Untraining — Reframing Yoga Teacher Training is a serious institutional commitment, not a workshop), and the studio’s stated [[mission-district-sf|mission]]. That kind of structural alignment between values and operations is exactly what the directory’s [[knowledge-care]] tier is meant to recognize.
The lineage range is also unusually wide for an upper-Hudson studio of this size — [[bks-iyengar|Iyengar]] and yin are not typically taught at the same level of seriousness inside one operator, and adding mindfulness meditation and Afro-Future Dance to the same schedule produces a programming spread that no chain studio would attempt.
Bioregional fit
Anchors the [[hudson-ny]] / upper-Hudson knowledge-care slot in the directory. Files under [[hudson-river-estuary]] as the broader bioregion (Hudson sits on the upper estuary, north of the [[hudson-highlands]] bioregion); pairs north-south with [[the-collective-cold-spring]] and [[bebhakti-yoga-center]] in the Highlands and with the Berkshires anchor at [[kripalu-center]] across the state line to the east.
