Our Beginnings
The words 'Rising Sun' first appeared decades before the actual yoga studio opened its doors. In a dream, as an idea, as words that continued to appear before me over the years, in literature, and finally as a street I lived on, Sun Rise Lane, the words eventually became the name of this studio. I knew, way back when, that whatever the business I started next, it would be called 'Rising Sun ...'.
The doors to the first studio opened in April of 2006 when, through a series of events not foreseen or even desired, Rising Sun Yoga became a reality. Starting with 4 classes each week, the studio grew utilizing a meditation practice that included a clear intention, a desire, gratitude, and a feeling state. This original studio was located in Snyder and grew to 22 classes per week.
Four years after first opening, it was time to explore new avenues and in 2010, we moved to a larger location in Georgetown Square in Williamsville, NY. We grew since then and developed a wonderful, loving community where new friendships were made, lives changed, and visions became reality.
In 2020, as a result of the craziness that occurred regarding a virus, we became a virtual studio (except in the summer when we get together for Outdoor Yoga). We have a selection of online classes. Go to the Online Classes tab above to find out more.
We welcome you and hope you enjoy what we offer!
