"Best yoga in the Valley, with a calm, safe, welcoming vibe.
​No pressure, and the most patient, kind, knowledgable teachers."
 - Amanda K.
​AYN is uniquely owned and managed collectively by its teachers, who wisely and sensibly provide asana and pranayama classes to fit your schedule and needs, along with special workshops & events for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. All of us teach as our teachers have taught us: with compassion, sensibility and lightheartedness, and with the goal of empowering our students to seek and to be guided by their own inner wisdom. 

Since 2009, we've built a relaxed, welcoming and inclusive community of earnest yoga practitioners in the Valley. We are one of the only dedicated Mysore style Ashtanga studios in New England, and are located in a warm, beautiful, accessible and intimate practice space, right in the heart of Western Massachusetts in downtown Northampton. 
"I love Yin Yoga because it offers a more intimate relationship between my mind and body - more than any other type of Yoga I've done - truly ‘in the moment’, almost like a meditation. I drive all the way from the Berkshires to Georgiann's Yin class. She guides you through the poses with a loving, gentle manner (including some poetry and humor), and I leave feeling completely transformed on my drive home!" – Vic B.
