About

OUR MISSION

Founded by Alana Kessler, a native New Yorker practicing yoga in NYC since the 90′s, Sangha Yoga Shala is intended to serve as an urban sanctuary where through community, arts, yoga and mindful living you will discover how to “nourish yourself and feed the world”

Adapting the extraordinary pace, culture and sophistication of the city with an intentional, unique and modern approach to discipline, consciousness and spirituality, the Sangha mission is to awaken and invite individuals to experience and transform from yoga’s accessibility and healing. To inspire and support a life of clarity, purposeful effort, compassion, self worth and simplicity, allowing for the discovery of a truly integrated and peaceful society, where diverse people can understand and learn from one another, embrace and overcome their unique differences and personal limitations, and find a way to connect to each other as humans on a deeper level, ultimately achieving their full potential as a collective community.

We offer a variety of yoga classes for all levels including- Hot Vinyasa Yoga, Power Stretch Vinyasa, Basics, Ashtanga Yoga (Mysore-style and Guided), Ashtanga – Inspired Vinyasa, Open level Vinyasa, Candlelight Vinyasa, Restorative, Prenatal, Post-Natal/Baby & Me and other workshops and community events.
