Natural Awakenings Westchester / Putnam / Dutchess New York

Cultivate Calm and Clarity with Yoga and Mindfulness

Sacred Spirit Yoga and Healing Arts Center, in Dobbs Ferry, will host Moving Into Stillness, a half-day yoga retreat with Kathleen Hinge, from 1 to 4 p.m. on March 8, 2025. Open to all levels, the event will explore yoga postures, breath techniques and meditation to calm the mind and foster nonjudgmental awareness. Participants are encouraged to bring a journal for reflection. Early registration is recommended, as space is limited.

According to Hinge, a 500-hour certified yoga teacher, reiki master and Ph.D. holder in mechanical engineering, the retreat will be “a guided-from-within journey, a mini-pilgrimage of sorts, through the practice of asana and pranayama, mudra and meditation—into the heart of stillness.”
Hinge, the founding director of Yoga Shivaya, in Tarrytown, served in this role for 13 years. She believes that growth and flexibility arise from compassionate acceptance of our bodies as they are. By cultivating self-compassion, she teaches that we naturally open our hearts to greater compassion for others, fostering healing and peace. Her classes emphasize safe alignment, delivered with kindness and a touch of humor.

Sacred Spirit is a nonprofit, interfaith community offering a variety of programs, including Kripalu-inspired yoga, meditation, live music and holistic health practices. Its mission is to provide a nurturing space for individuals seeking a deeper connection to their soul, spirit and the present moment.

Cost: $75. Sacred Spirit Yoga and Healing Arts Center is located on the South Presbyterian Church campus, 343 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry. For more information or to register, visit
