Building on the success of its two Ulster County locations, Amy Reed and Joyce San Pedro, co-owners of The Yoga House, have announced that ground has been broken on the studio’s first Dutchess County home in Poughkeepsie.
The Yoga House’s Poughkeepsie sanctuary at South Road Crossing on Route 9 will fill a 1,400-square-foot space. The duo said it would welcome community members into its intentionally constructed studio and commuter-friendly bathrooms, which boast showers.
They added that the "house" would welcome everyone—from novices to experienced yogis—to practice in harmony.
“Joyce and I first met in Poughkeepsie, so it’s serendipitous to return to our roots,” said Amy. “We’ve built such a strong community in Ulster County; people often tell us that coming to The Yoga House feels like coming home. We’re both ready to thoughtfully cultivate a similar ‘family’ in Dutchess County.”
In addition to a full schedule of classes in various yoga disciplines, The Yoga House’s Dutchess County studio will offer strength-building and conditioning classes, such as Pilates, Barre, and TRX (total resistance exercise).
With their combined teaching experience of over 20 years, Amy and Joyce said they will offer a wide range of practices, understand the roots of yoga, and incorporate gratitude, mindfulness, and other physiological and biomechanical components into their offerings.
“When we say yoga for everybody, we mean it,” said Joyce. “Our classes are not one-size-fits-all because we encourage each individual to find the practice that best suits them at any particular moment or state of their yoga journey."
As a result, the owners said those who live or work in Dutchess County can anticipate more than just a yoga studio but a gateway to wellness.
