ABOUT

We offer yoga classes that bring people together and teach them to move and breathe well so that they can feel revitalized and inspired to pursue their life's passion.

Sarai is located on a beautiful tree-lined block in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. We offer daily classes for all levels, beginner to advanced, led by experienced, kind, and dedicated teachers.

 

Yoga is a collection of physical, mental, and spiritual practices which originated in India. The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'to join' or 'to yoke' or 'to unite'. Yoga means union: union with all the parts of ones' self, union with each other, and union with the natural world.

• Through the practice of asana (physical postures), we are able to calm the mind, strengthen the body, develop stability, balance, and fluency, reform old habits that may have led to injury, learn to recognize nature's patterns within us and potentiate our wellbeing.

• Pranayama (control of the breath) allows us to mediate our internal atmosphere and to soothe or stimulate our nervous system as needed. 

• Meditation is a tool to attain coherence. Coherence is when what you are doing, what you are feeling and thinking, and where you are, are aligned. In other words, it is when you are able to fully exist in the present moment and the thought of past or future that you've been grasping, churning, or ruminating on is able to let go of itself. It is a state of unity between your mind, body, and spirit.

We offer live music accompanied classes once a week and host small, intimate musical performances, which we announce in our newsletter.
