Explore the five yogic self-care principles (niyama) with Sylvia Channing in an open-level flow class. With music, vigorous movement, and deep restoratives, you’ll enliven the breath and relax the body – setting the stage for meditation. Using simple practices as a gateway, the more esoteric and universal elements of yoga become easier to digest.
Healing Arts @ The Watermill Center is a series of workshops and guided meditations offering the public the chance to explore the intersection of art and wellness. Through hands-on activities with a rotating roster of artists, the local community is invited to explore the healing power of art in a communal and experimental setting. In the tradition of “Slow Art,” Healing Arts encourages participants to slow down. Through a meditative approach to engaging with art, participants cultivate an intentional state of mind, gaining new insights and perspectives through a shared experience.

Sylvia Channing is a yoga instructor and artist from the South Fork, currently based in the Hudson Valley. Her training is primarily in Iyengar, Jivamukti, and Ashtanga vinyasa methods, and she has trained with teachers Colleen Saidman Yee and Rodney Yee for 20 years in Sag Harbor. Sylvia has taught at numerous studios on the East End, in NYC and Jose Ignacio, Uruguay, and she is soon to open her own multidisciplinary studio in Beacon, New York.
While her approach is rooted in traditional asana practices, Sylvia’s classes are dynamic, easy to follow, and fun, and her ques are equal parts physical alignment and metaphor. Sylvia draws from nature, personal experience, and inspiration from mentors and friends to design her classes, and she’ll rarely ever teach the same sequence twice. Her goal is to make her class a container for each student’s unique exploration of their body & breath.
