trauma-informed yoga classes in ithaca

129 West Falls St Ithaca NY 14850

Welcome to your Hometown Yoga Studio!

Yoga Farm Ithaca is a trauma-aware yoga studio. In practice, that means we prioritize choice, consent, and nervous-system awareness in how we teach.

In most classes, we generally do not offer hands-on assists or adjustments, and teachers often cue from their own mats. Some students love hands-on assists, and others find them uncomfortable or activating — so we aim to avoid assumptions about what is welcome.

If you prefer hands-on assistance, you’re welcome to ask your teacher. Some teachers may be able to accommodate requests, and it’s always okay if the answer is “not today.”

Our studio’s roots are in Kundalini and Qigong, so many classes may include breathwork, meditation, and subtle-body awareness alongside physical movement. If you’re looking for a workout-only power flow experience, we may not be the best fit — and we’re happy to help you find what you’re looking for.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Friday, January 23rd 7:30-9p


Kirtan chanting is a soulful musical practice involving the repetition of mantras from different traditions accompanied by simple melodies. Participants engage in call and response singing, creating a communal and meditative state of flow and connection. Kirtan transcends cultural and religious boundaries, attracting people from different backgrounds who are seeking a meditative and heart-opening experience.

sunday, February 1st 3:30-6p

Join us for an immersive Mala Making Workshop where you will learn the art of creating beautiful, personalized gemstone malas. All materials are provided, and you’ll take home your own 27 bead mala that you can use for mantra recitation, breath work or meditation.

This hands-on experience allows you to craft your own spiritual accessory, designed to inspire mindfulness and positive energy. Perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike, the workshop offers an environment to relax, connect, and create lasting keepsakes while learning about the historical and spiritual significance of malas. You will also infuse your mala with your own personal intentions and energies. An opportunity for guided practices, for example mantra meditation, with your new mala will close out the experience.

Deadline to register is one week prior (Jan 25th) so materials for your mala can be ordered. For registrations after that date, a gemstone preference might not be available. Please email LivAvtarKaur10@gmail.com with your gemstone preference from those below.  

Clear Quartz - intuition and clarity

Moonstone - emotional healing and balance, intuition, deflecting negativity

Carnelian - strength, bravery, courage and creativity

Rose Quartz - unconditional love, emotional healing and self worth

Green/Blue/Purple Fluorite - mental clarity and cleansing negative energy

Aquamarine - courage, calmness and clear communication

saturday, March 14th 7-8:30p

A woman in white with a headwrap strikes a singing bowl during a meditation or sound healing session, with people lying on mats on the floor.

During this 90-minute experience, you'll practice a deep meditation before relaxing and opening your mind, body and spirit to the healing vibrations of the gongs and other vibrational instruments. You’ll leave feeling aligned, open to possibility, and deeply at peace.

During a gong meditation, participants are immersed in a symphony of resonant tones and vibrations, which can help induce a state of profound relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote mental clarity. The complex and harmonious soundscapes created by the gongs are believed to facilitate a natural healing process, aiding in the release of physical and emotional tension, while also encouraging a heightened sense of introspection and mindfulness. Gong meditations can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking an alternative form of meditation that engages multiple senses and offers a path to inner peace and holistic well-being.

Participants can expect to be seated and lying down during the event according to each person’s comfort level. Wear clothes that allow the body to rest comfortably, bring any props you may need and a water bottle
