Tibetan Singing Bowls

Tibetan singing bowls, traditionally crafted from a blend of metals, are struck or played with a mallet to produce sustained, resonant tones. Their layered harmonics can evoke a sense of grounding and stability, often felt in the body as gentle vibrations. Many practitioners find them effective for reducing anxiety, slowing the heart rate, and creating a sense of spaciousness.

Crystal Singing Bowls

Made from pure quartz crystal, crystal singing bowls produce clear, powerful tones that can feel more penetrating than metal bowls. They are often tuned to specific chakras or energy centers, which can support emotional release and energetic alignment. Crystal bowls are especially popular in group sound baths for their ability to “fill” a room with vibration.

The gong is one of the most transformative instruments in sound meditation. Its deep, expansive resonance creates waves of sound that can feel like they move through and around the body. Listeners often report experiencing shifts in consciousness, emotional release, and even a sense of timelessness. The gong’s ability to produce a wide spectrum of frequencies makes it both grounding and expansive, helping dissolve mental tension and encourage surrender.

Frame Drums and Shamanic Drums

Drums have been used in spiritual practice across cultures for centuries. In sound meditation, the steady beat of a drum can mimic the rhythm of the heartbeat, offering a grounding, primal connection. This rhythmic quality can induce trance-like states, support journeying or visualization practices, and foster a deep sense of rootedness.

Wind chimes or hand-held chimes, like Koshi or Zaphir chimes, produce delicate, bell-like tones that feel light and uplifting. Their airy resonance can shift the energy in a space and bring clarity to the mind. Chimes are often used at the beginning or end of a sound session to signal transition and help participants return to the present moment gently.

The human voice is perhaps the oldest sound healing instrument. Chanting, toning, or vocal overtones carry deep vibrational power. Whether through mantras, humming, or overtone singing, vocal sound meditation can harmonize the body, calm the nervous system, and create a sense of shared connection when practiced in groups.

We offer a diverse range of classes suited to practitioners of all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced yogis. Our yoga teachers come from all lineages and studies, from Katonah and Iyengar, to Vinyasa and Ashtanga. Whether you’re drawn to a hot, vigorous flow, a gentle, restorative practice, or a meditative sound therapy session, there’s something for everyone. Each class is thoughtfully designed to cater to different needs and preferences, ensuring that you find the practice that resonates with you.

Our most popular specialty classes include:

Our pilates classes will challenge you in exercises that chisel your abs, tone your glutes, and sculpt long, lean muscles. You will use your own body weight, yoga blocks, magic circles, and resistance bands.

This class combines a gentle slow flow and restorative yin postures and closes with a deep meditation session to explore the quietude of your mind.

This is a heated Vinyasa flow experience that is intentional, fun, and guided by the rhythm of the breath. Expect lots of movement with a focus on functional exercises. It’s an open-level class that’s powered by radiant infrared panels and an air purification system to minimize airborne dust, pollen, and germs.

Taught by senior teachers, master classes are an opportunity for intermediate yogis and teachers to deepen their practice through an extended study of the asanas. You’ll incorporate more advanced postures, yoga philosophy, and anatomical education.

This class breaks down the fundamentals of key yoga postures for both people who have never taken a yoga class and practitioners who have some knowledge of the practice but would like to renew and strengthen their foundation.

Explore somatic movement exercises to help re-educate the way your brain moves, holds, and senses your muscles. You’ll commence class with an extended savasana and gradually enter into yoga asanas.

In this internal strength class using the Kinstretch® Method, focus on the determinants of your movement (i.e. ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue) rather than the external organization of movement (i.e. specific yoga poses). Through self-assessment, you’ll learn about your current range of motion and exercise more control.

Similar to The Fiery ONE, expect an open-level, but room temperature, Vinyasa class woven with elements of Hatha, Iyengar, Ashtanga, or Katonah Yoga. These yoga classes are intelligently sequenced at a slower, sweeter pace to ease you into the practice, allowing time for your body to adapt to movement. You are sure to break a sweat by building heat from within.

At OYH, you’re part of a supportive and inclusive community from day one. Whether you attend classes regularly or drop in occasionally, you’ll find camaraderie and encouragement from fellow practitioners and instructors alike. The studio fosters connections beyond the mat, offering workshops, events, retreats, and social gatherings to support local businesses (like brunch and oyster shucking) where you can connect with like-minded individuals and deepen your practice both on and off the mat.
