The World Yoga Center welcomes students of all ages, traditions and backgrounds, at every level of ability. We are very proud of the World Yoga Center.

Through the Yoga practices, students embark on a transformative journey of awakenment while developing bodies that glow with health. Decades after we opened our doors in 1972, we are still here at our original address. Only Yoga has been practiced in our beautiful space and the atmosphere here is unusually pristine and serene. The name ”World Yoga Center” was inspired by the International World Yoga Symposium held in New Delhi, India, in 1970. Our name reminds us that the teachings and practices of Yoga are universal, embrace divisions of East and West, and have become compatible with modern living. Yoga provides transformational knowledge that radically awakens us to the mystery of life. This underlying vision and the deep intention of Yoga sustain the World Yoga Center and drive it forward.

Reiki Circle With Jodi
Saturday, October 24,
1–3:15pm

Reiki is the healing aspect of the supreme energy at the root of our very being, the potent beneficial force that flows through us all. Connecting to this energy through Reiki, as a practitioner and as a receiver, is a powerful tool for our own and others' healing.

Our Reiki Circle welcomes non-Reiki practitioners—the community—for the first hour from 1 to 2pm. We will all be together for our opening meditation and be able to offer names into the circle for healing. During this time, our community receives Reiki from Reiki practitioners. We will conclude with journaling and sharing.

The practice portion of our circle, from 2 to 3:15pm, will be for Reiki practitioners to develop our skills for the highest good of others.

Community tickets are $20
Reiki Practitioners tickets are $30

Opportunities For Dedicated Study
Fall 2026
Four workshops
Sundays, 1:00-4:00 pm
Sept 27, Oct 11, Nov 8 & 22

This series of workshops, taught by Julia Pearring, invites us to dedicate time for detailed study. Each workshop will take an aspect of our physical practice under a magnifying glass, so that we can explore its possibilities, understand the implications, and invite the breakthroughs.

These workshops will present entry points, so that their orientation and action, when applied consistently throughout the body and truly integrated, can have a meaningful and lasting impact.

The workshop series aims to enhance our greater physical awareness and coordination as well as enhance our ability to stand in the depth of our own Inner Self.

Four Extended Practice Workshops:
Workshop 1: Engaged Foundation aka "The Footprint"
Workshop 2: Focused Stability aka "Tweezers"
Workshop 3: Balanced Expanse aka "The Fabric"
Workshop 4: Seated Postures aka "Rocketship Energy"

These workshops can be taken individually or as a series (recommended, as there are components that will build from workshop to workshop.) The full series will be recorded and recordings will be available for attendees until the end of 2026.

TUITION:
Single workshop $50
Full series $165

10-Week Vibrant Living Program
With Jacalyn Prete and Rudrani Farbman
Begins October 25

If you have loved our yoga classes and our retreat—or missed the opportunity to join us this summer and would like to bring the practices of asana, pranayama, meditation, and Ayurveda more deeply into your everyday life—we invite you to join us for our upcoming 10-week online Vibrant Living Program.

As some of us experienced on our recent retreat, there is great power in practicing together. The shared practices bring an intensification, connection, and depth to our work that can be difficult to touch when we practice alone on the mat. We’d love for you to continue that experience with us—to deepen your practice, share the journey, and become part of this community.

Together, we’ll explore the wisdom teachings and practices of Ayurveda, circadian rhythm, meditation, Anusara yoga, pranayama, and Vibrant Living, with an emphasis on bringing yoga off the mat and into our daily lives.

Over our 10 weeks together, we’ll explore practical ways to create healthy, sustainable habits that support greater vitality, resilience, self-awareness, and ease.

We’ll also encourage you to participate regularly in the weekly yoga and meditation classes at World Yoga Center, creating a supportive rhythm of practice within our beloved WYC community.

The program is $300 and includes:
10 weekly Zoom sessions with Jacalyn and Rudrani
A 2-week Ayurveda-based seasonal cleanse, including recipes and detailed information to support your journey
Practical tools for integrating yoga and healthy habits into everyday life
Practices to support sleep, nourishment, movement, breath, meditation, and self-care
An opportunity to deepen your connection with the WYC community

We’ll meet Sunday mornings from 9:30–10:45 AM ET on Zoom for 10 weeks, beginning October 25.

We look forward to practicing, learning, and sharing this journey together.
With love,
Jacalyn & Rudrani
