New class + sharing our good vibes
New class alert! Join us on Thursday, 5:15-6:15pm for our new Vinyasa Flow class, beginning this week. This is not an intense class, but more of a gentle flow with Linda. You’ll enjoy a refreshing flow of poses, linking breath with movement, and a more grounded, centered feeling at the end of each class. Suitable for all levels, including beginners!
What’s new in 2022!
New year, fresh start! 🌱“Do not wait for the conditions to be perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.” - Alan Cohen

Schedule this week + Winter Solstice celebrations
We are beginning our Winter Solstice celebrations with candlelight yoga (and an abundance of cute twinkle ✨ lights) at the studio this week! We’re warm, cozy, and enjoying the ambiance of yoga together as we enter the official winter season. Plus, tonight’s Winter Solstice celebration included treats and tea for an extra coziness factor….
Important studio updates
As many of you are aware, NYS issued new requirements on COVID protocols for businesses, effective Monday, December 13.
After carefully reading over the policies, this is by no means an easy decision. I have never wanted to be in the position of excluding people for any reason who want to practice yoga. Nor have I ever wanted to be in the position where I am asking for our instructors to police policies set forth by the state. We have always been a community-oriented studio for all ages and my goal has always been to provide you with a space that is safe, welcoming, and supportive.
Basically, a place where I would take my own family (and actually do).
Only one spot left!
In this season of busy schedules and lots of to-do’s, be sure to carve out time to be good to yourself. It is never time wasted, I promise.
You can find our yoga + meditation schedule here and day-by-day below. There are also great special events coming up that you don’t want to miss. (Only ONE spot left in the 12/19 Candlelight Winter Solstice event.) Be sure to reserve your spot for all upcoming events!
Tomorrow! Celebrate Small Business Saturday
Please join us tomorrow, Saturday, 11/27 from 8am - 4pm for our Small Business Saturday event! Deals will be available for one day only in-studio and online. Be sure to stop into the studio if you can though, so you can enter to win a free month of unlimited Yoga 170 classes!
Weekend update
Happy Friday! We have so many offerings at the studio this weekend, so I thought it would be helpful to send a quick weekend update so you can carve our your yoga time. Here is the schedule!
New class alerts!
Please join me in welcoming Christina (Aldridge) Till to the Yoga 170 instructor team! Christina is BACK to her Fairport teaching roots, and if you have taken her classes before, you know what a treat they are. We are thrilled she is now a part of the Yoga 170 family!
You can find Christina teaching Restful Candlelight Yoga on Sundays, 6:30-7:30pm (our newest class!). You can also find her for a refreshing Vinyasa Flow class on Mondays, 5:15-6:15pm (a new class time!). Sign up here.
Now available! Yoga 170 apparel
I’m so excited to announce that our Yoga 170 apparel is now available! We have shirts, tanks, lightweight hoodies, and beanies at the studio and also available online. Everything is extremely soft and unbelievably comfy!
Experience stress relief and deep relaxation
This Saturday, 11/6, please join us for a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath experience with the talented Whitney Michele, who has recently returned to her Rochester roots from Colorado. If you are familiar with Whitney’s sound classes, you know how much of a treat and deeply relaxing experience this is. ✨
(Coming soon) Yoga 170 apparel with special meaning
Eeek! I’m bursting with excitement as I write this week’s update because I have a special SNEAK PEEK for you. In just a few weeks, we will have new Yoga 170 apparel available in the studio — yoga tees, tanks, lightweight hoodies, and more.
But the best part? The art design was done by a student who practices at the studio! I’ll be sharing her story and inspiration behind it all (and I love that it was all created locally). Everything will be available in early November!
Mark your calendar for this Mind + Body workshop
I’m thrilled to let you know about a new Mind + Body workshop that we’ll be offering at Yoga 170, in partnership with Erica Reisinger, founder of Revive Your Tribe. Mark your calendars for this yoga + wellness event on Sunday, November 21 from 11:30am-1pm. Grab a friend or come solo!
Recognizing World Mental Health Day
Today is World Mental Health Day, and it’s a good reminder to pause and take notice of your own emotional well-being. Our doors are always open for you to take good care of yourself. Whether that means movement, slowing down, or stillness in our calm space, we are here to support you. 🌱
New to yoga? We have you covered.
I’m excited to announce our New to Yoga 4-week series! If you, or someone you know, is looking to get started, this is the PERFECT time to start. The dates for this series are Sunday, 10/17 — Sunday, 11/7, 11:30am-12:30pm. It is $40 for the series and if you are new to Yoga 170, you can still buy the new student pass (2 for $10) afterwards. Please spread the word if you know someone who is looking to get started with yoga!
Announcements this week
“Imagine what is achievable if there are no expectations for perfection.” — Carly’s opening intention in this morning’s class.
What a great mindset shift. Re-read if you must. The endless search for perfection does not exist on your yoga mat. Take what you need, enjoy the time you carve out, and know that so much is achievable — because there are no expectations for perfection here.
This week: Barre, Restorative and earlier classes
Our studio is your space. Your time. Your place to unplug and take what you need. Come solo or meet a friend for class — we look forward to practicing with you this week!
Class schedule and a special Yin + Deep Stretch class this week
This week, our class offerings are plentiful! Be sure to carve out time for your own practice, and we hope to see you soon.
A short video tour — see the studio! Plus, new fall classes.
Enjoy a 2-minute tour of Yoga 170! Get a feel for the space and experience the boutique, farmhouse feel. Turn on your volume! Hope to see you here soon.
New classes for Fall + yoga this week
We are excited to offer you more new classes, and our amazing team of instructors will continue to bring their own creative and authentic style to each and every class. We’re so proud to offer you a variety of class types so you can pick and choose what feels right to you.
