Classes OPEN to the Public 

Our newly designed studio in Pawtucket is now OPEN to the public!

Choose one of our two styles of classes as our schedule continues to grow!

SIGNING UP IS REQUIRED BEFORE SHOWING UP

​OPEN​ | STRONG + STEADY | These classes are held on mats with detailed instruction, making it ideal for beginners, while also offering advanced students options to challenge themselves physically. In this class, students can routinely expect sun salutations, followed by postures linked with rhythmic breathing, designed to strengthen the body, to increase flexibility and to release tension in the mind and body. Modifications are always woven into this class to support everyone. Music (often with a faster beat) is often used. If you're used to Vinyasa Yoga and Forrest Yoga, this class is for you.  

OPEN​ | SOFT + SLOW |  These classes are also held on mats with detailed instruction, making it ideal for beginners, while also offering advanced students options to challenge themselves physically. In this class, students can expect a slower flow of postures than in a "Shri Strong + Steady" class with more restorative poses built in and a longer seated or reclined meditation. Modifications are also woven into this class and slower-paced music is used too.

Supporting our mission of inclusive yoga outreach the following OPEN classes are free to the following outreach students as well upon pre-registration:

  • Mondays 5:15 pm | Meditation | Free For All

Private Classes

In partnership with our nonprofit partners, Shri offers the following outreach classes PRIVATELY, run off the SHRI CURRICULUM, with Shri-Certified Teachers who have attended and graduated from our 80-hour outreach teacher training


ADAPTIVE YOGA  - These classes serve teens and adults with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities in partnership with social services from across the Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.  In these classes, students build strength, balance and a sense of community on and off the mat.  Often practicing in chairs, students in Shri's Adaptive Yoga Project learn how to get up and down to the floor with team-building activities and meditation games built in, while yoga poses are modified to meet the needs of every student. ** If you are not with one of our partner agencies, an introductory email to Shri is required before drop-in attendance is possible: contact robin@shriyoga.org for more information.**   

ADAPTIVE DANCE  -

Public Classes help fund free classes to those in need through our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Shri Service Corps

A portion of funds generated by our public, open classes fund Shri outreach programs through our 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm, Shri Service Corps.

This model creates a more diverse yoga community, in which individuals from all backgrounds can practice together.

Some of our public, open classes are also paired with outreach students when appropriate and safe to do so.

This approach and “service in action,” is what we mean by “inclusive yoga outreach.”
