The Yoga House Expands Wellness Access with New Poughkeepsie Studio Opening

The Yoga House, an award-winning yoga studio co-owned by Amy Reed and Joyce San Pedro, has opened its third location at 2623 South Road in Poughkeepsie, marking its first presence in Dutchess County. The studio will host a grand opening weekend on September 6-7, featuring free 30-minute vignette classes including Vinyasa, Restorative yoga, TRX, Pilates, and fusion classes, providing the community with an opportunity to experience its holistic wellness approach firsthand.

This expansion significantly increases access to diverse wellness practices in the Hudson Valley region. The studio's design intentionally omits mirrors to encourage introspection and focus on body-mind-spirit connection rather than outward appearance. Joyce San Pedro explained their philosophy: "We encourage those who practice with us to work in, rather than work out. We believe that the key to living well is having harmony between the body, mind and spirit." This approach reinforces the studio's role as a true wellness sanctuary rather than just a fitness facility.

The new location offers Barre, guided meditation, sound baths, and Reiki in addition to traditional yoga practices. Demonstrating their commitment to accessibility, the owners will offer many classes both in-person and virtually through their sister studio in Kingston, ensuring participation regardless of physical ability, schedule, or location. The facility includes on-site showers, convenient location, and ample parking, making it accessible to locals, visitors, and commuters alike.

During the opening weekend, attendees can also connect with neighboring local businesses and enter to win free sessions, membership passes, apparel, and yoga props. Those who sign up for the unlimited membership before September 8 will receive a discounted "Founding Member" rate of $99 per month for three months. As a BIPOC and LGBTQIA+-owned business, The Yoga House maintains its commitment to providing a safe space for all individuals, regardless of background or body type, to connect with their breath and practice mindfulness in ways that suit their personal journey.
