When Becca Roberts planned the concept for Namastesis, her new yoga studio in Fishkill, she knew that its atmosphere would be just as important as its amenities. “I wanted a vibe in which community and individualism are encouraged and celebrated,” she says. “Whether someone is an experienced yoga practitioner or a first-time student, everyone is welcome at Namastesis.”

Now, two months after opening, Roberts is following through on her mission to create “a home for balanced wellness,” distinguished by its wide variety of yoga classes. “Regardless of age, physical ability or experience, you will find something here that works for you as an individual.” The studio offers several types of classes, including alignment, yin, gentle, vinyasa, restorative and heated yoga, as well as massage therapy and Reiki.

Roberts has broad training and many years of experience in yoga, massage therapy and Reiki healing, and she says that background helps her make everyone feel welcome and safe at Namastesis. She and the other teachers there can guide new students toward a class or wellness service that meets their personal needs.

Namastesis, located at 1065 Main St., Suite H, Fishkill, NY, is currently offering a special for first-time students, $45 for one month of unlimited yoga. For more info, contact the studio at 845.765.2299 or [email protected], or visit Namastesis.com.
