Levittown, PA Indoor Activities

Christine Donahue started her yogic practice at age 8, learning at the knee of her first mentor, her mother. She has since journeyed to India, been certified to teach by swamis, and been granted the honorary name Girija, which means daughter of the Himalayas. Throughout all her journeys, the main pillar of her yogic practice has always been community. Now, at her own Higher Power Yoga, she strives to tailor her teachings to suit the community that surrounds her. Christine invites both longtime and new practitioners to sample her variations on classic Vinyasa yoga, such as hot and spicy yoga and urban yoga, in which students reach for the skies in the skyscraper pose and just-reelected mayor pose.

Wood beams, exposed air ducts, and dangling lights tower above yogis at Blossom Yoga as experienced teachers guide students through yoga maneuvers. The schedule of classes, held in a stunning rehabilitated barn that was originally constructed in the 1700s, accommodates all experience levels. Instructor Ginger walks beginning body benders through movements during Yoga Basics sessions, Alexis focuses on intermediate and all-levels classes, and Kathleen works with more experienced students.
