Himalayan Institute – 10% off health/cooking books, Neti pot + accessories & Free voucher for a Thursday drop-in class
Yoga is certainly a popular phenomenon, but the practice is ancient. More and more studios are cropping up to meet the demand of western students seeking a peaceful reconnection of body and mind. Different studios have different characters, different interpretations of this ancient art and different processes for expressing the practice. Because yoga is such an internal process, finding a studio that fits well with your personality is key to a joyful experience.
The Himalayan International Institute, of which the Buffalo Institute is a part, is both a center for teaching yoga and a philanthropic entity with outreach around the globe. Hospitals, schools, farming, and irrigation projects, as well as yoga itself are part of the Institute’s mission. In Buffalo, a team of volunteers keeps the historic 841 Delaware Avenue location going for peace-seeking souls in this area.
Rolf and Mary Gail Sovik are the directors of the Buffalo center and they head a group of teachers who are an inspiration to our community. The peaceful environment created at the Institute is palpable and you will feel it as a student. It will help you connect with your body and mind, and do what every bike rider knows is important: face the obstacles of the world like the wind, accept and continue.
