OSYC has been in this location continually for 22+ years, bringing health, wellbeing, and spiritual light to the greater White Mountains.
​
The community of students, dedicated teachers and those who have supported OSYC over the years have helped to create what is known as a "Sangha", a Sanskrit term for "spiritual community". This spiritual community has a life of it's own and will continue, no doubt, due to the strong bonds of friendship, support and love.
Classes will be offered through September so your support is welcome
as we transition to a new chapter.
After September, Lauren and Ken intend to keep teaching,
offering yoga, yoga therapeutics, and meditation in a format
yet to be realized. Stay tuned! ​

Please be mindful when purchasing discount class cards during this end period to account for using your card up by end September.
