World Yoga Center Celebration
Saturday, May 9, 2026
6:00-9:00pm

Join us in person or online!

On this special night, we celebrate the World Yoga Center's anniversary, now 54 years old.

As a school of inner evolution, we exist to uphold the authentic teachings of Yoga, where community becomes a vessel for collective awakening.
Through decades of social, economic, and global change, one truth has remained constant: the heart of Yoga itself.

A vast array of people of all backgrounds and abilities have moved through the school's beautiful atmosphere and have contributed and been enriched by it. As a nonprofit, we set a strong intention to enhance the power of this atmosphere in the years ahead. As we gather for this event, let us co-create this together in the expansive delight of celebration.

Please support us with your energy and your donations- which are tax deductible- and our special thanks for coming.

After our chant and meditation, we will take time for intention setting and enjoy a dinner together, refreshments and delicious goodies! Bring your vision for the future of the WYC that would most fulfill your heart as we continue to move into our second half century!

Please join us!
Ticket Prices (in-person and virtual):
Celebration ticket: $30

Or, if you cannot come or would like to give at another level, we welcome you!

WITH RUDRANI AND JACALYN

An Anusara Yoga and Meditation Retreat
With much excitement, Rudrani and Jacalyn invite you to join us for another wonderful summer retreat at Dai Bosatsu Zendo, a pristine mountain sanctuary in the Catskill Mountains.

The Zendo has hosted our deep and fulfilling retreats for seventeen seasons. As the WYC community gathers to practice Anusara yoga, meditation and inner reflection, we will be surrounded by the magnificent, unspoiled beauty of nature.

Our retreat group will stay at the Zendo and in the newly renovated guest house that sits overlooking the sparkling spring-fed Beecher Lake. The guest house has a new, spacious sun-deck and refurbished rooms that are both comfortable and homey!

Director’s Message 4/1:

It’s the first night of Passover
The Exodus from oppression

How does one secure unity
wholeness and peace in this ritual?

May we find these within
in one’s own source inside

May we be gentle and strong

May we move on the journey together

Into that Supreme Love

Greetings to you all
whether in a seder
or feeling the energy of the celebration
in the atmosphere tonight

Always,
Rudrani

Rates Page
As we adjust our prices to be on par with the majority of Yoga institutions in the city, we also instituted sliding scale pricing for those who require a discounted rate due to financial need. We welcome you and do not wish financial obstacles to come between you and your yoga practice. Go to our website to see financial need based options.

As a non profit, we welcome our World Yoga Center community’s financial support. Your generous contributions allow us to continue to expand as an inclusive haven that welcomes dedicated students from all traditions and backgrounds.

Sending this letter with gratitude and devotion to the heart-based core of Yoga as a liberative force in the world,
WYC Staff and Teaching Team

Join Heather Thursdays at 12:30pm for her wonderful Open Level Class!

03/16/2026

Find our nourishing Satsang recordings on our website under Classes > Meditation > Satsang Recordings

Satsangs are open to all people, on any level of practice, who are seeking a conscious path. Participants have chosen a teaching we call a Theme and Rudrani offers an hour-long exploration followed by group chanting, meditation and sharing.

These opening talks on the theme contain wisdom, both traditional and relevant personal tales, and we bask in co-created support of the inner journey for everyone present. How to apply these particular teachings in our daily lives emerges as the evening unfolds.

Our intention for making the opening exploratory talks online is to bring everyone into community at a time when we need to unite, whether you are able to there in person or not (the chanting and meditation practices are not recorded).

May we all be nourished by shared wisdom and drawn deeper into relationship with one another and with our own Self.

Join us for Morning Meditation
Every morning 8:15-9:00am

We offer daily online classes of breathwork and meditation practices, guided by our beautiful WYC teachers. These classes are offered with love at no cost.

Meditation lies at the core of yoga and supports us to create a meaningful life. Seen as our natural birthright, meditation reduces suffering and is a significant means to inner freedom and well-being. All our hatha yoga classes and programs include this transformative practice.

WYC Series: Meet the Mat
Fundamentals
Four Friday Evenings, 5:30-6:30 pm
Begins March 6th
With Amanda & Sarah

Yoga is for everyone! In this workshop series, we will dive deeply into the mechanics of the basic poses and give you an understanding of what an authentic yoga practice entails.

Our approach will allow time and space for breaking down poses (called “asanas”) and exploring the Universal Principles of Alignment that guide Anusara Yoga. With intention and breath weaving through the physical practice, this series intends to establish greater awareness and recognition of the subtler realms that reach the full spectrum of our humanity, the evolution of our consciousness.

This series is designed especially to welcome new practitioners, but is ideal for every level student. Through the 4-week series, you will develop a strong foundation supporting you to continue your practice with greater ease and confidence.

Dates: Fridays
March 6, 13, 20 & 27

Tuition: $95*

*Full series only, not designed for drop ins
**Free for members, if you are willing to commit to the full series. This is a great opportunity to go back to the absolute fundamentals, and welcome and support new beginners in the extraordinary journey of Yoga.
