Shri Yoga and Wellness Center, Wyomissing

For the team at Shri Yoga and Wellness Center, a stronger body is just the beginning of the effect yoga can have on people. Shri is a Sanskrit word that means “that which is life-enhancing”; in that spirit, the studio practices yoga and holistic services that together are designed to be transformative on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Beyond traditional sessions of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, students can settle into meditation, where they devote themselves to quieting intrusive thoughts and uncovering compassionate ones. During the Yoga for Anxiety series, a certified yogi with a master's in psychology helps participants learn to use yoga as a method for processing stress.

Multiple styles of massage restore bodies, and specialized approaches such as visceral massage target the abdominal section with techniques aimed to improve digestive function and release trapped butterflies. Holistic-health training in individual or group sessions integrates Eastern and Western approaches to wellness and explores specific changes to elements as varied as nutrition and attitude in an attempt to improve one’s overall lifestyle.
