Living Yoga, located  in Philipstown Square at 3182 Route 9 in Cold Spring, was founded by three long-time yoga teachers and residents of Cold Spring and Garrison.  Richard Villella, Courtney Tarpley, and Liz Schulman had the vision to create a studio that focused exclusively on the vinyasa (flow) style, a physically challenging form of yoga that builds strength, endurance and a deep connection to breath.  The owners are committed to bringing a style of yoga to the community that is both a physical workout and a practice that quiets the mind, thus forging a connection to oneself on a deeper level.

There are currently 19 classes a week on the schedule from beginner (Level 1) to advanced (Level 3), and they are adding beginning movement classes and a prenatal class this fall.  In addition, Liz and Richard are co-directors of the Living Yoga Teacher Training, a 200-hour vinyasa training. The next training starts in January 2014.  All Living Yoga teachers are certified by Liz and Richard, so every class is taught with a consistent language, style, and expertise that allows the student to go to any class on the schedule and maintain a consistent practice.
