Sondra Loring

Sondra Loring fell in love with yoga while dancing professionally in New York City. She studied Ashtanga yoga in India with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and later with Eddie Stern in New York City. She also studied Iyengar yoga with Genevieve Kapuler and Carrie Owerko.

After moving to New York’s Hudson Valley, Sondra opened Sadhana Center for Yoga and Meditation in Hudson in 2003, and then Satya Yoga Center in Rhinebeck in 2005. She teaches yoga and meditation regularly in her studios and at Bard College, travels widely to give yoga workshops, and leads two teacher-training programs every year. Sondra has returned to India twice to study sutras with M.A. Jayashree and yoga therapy at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram. Her classes are loved for their graceful flow of movement, the beautiful quality of devotion, and a strong sense of community.
