We are Montauk’s locally owned and operated Yoga studio.

We are open year-round. We consider Yoga a life-long journey, one  we are committed to offer to all students, from all backgrounds.

Since we believe that the benefits of practicing Yoga should be accessible to everyone, we operate on a donation- based system. This means that you give what you can afford.

For this fall and winter our suggested donation is $12.  If you can give more, please do. If you can only give less, please come and give what you can.

Mahatma Gahndi said ” Be the change you wish to see in the world.” 

We are being the change, let us inspire you!

From HAMPTONS MAGAZINE August:  “STAY ZEN” in Montauk:   Sangha means “community” in Sanskrit, and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Sangha Yoga’s small but well-trafficked studio. There’s no need to sign up for classes in advance, and the breed of Hatha Yoga taught there is perfect for all levels. They also do private, semi-private and group classes on the beach by appointment.”

Answers to some frequently asked questions:

What type of Yoga do you teach:
We teach many forms of Hatha Yoga, the type of Yoga frequently practiced in the U.S. A. ( think postures). Our teachers come from different disciplines of Hatha Yoga, including Iyengar, Vinyasa Flow, Anusara and Ashtanga. We also offer HOT Yoga in the form of an Open Level Vinyasa Flow class.  Please read a teachers bio to get a better idea of their teaching and philosophy.

Do I need to sign up for class in advance?
There is no need to sign up in advance. Just come a few minutes prior to the class so that you can fill out a bit of paperwork and find a space. We operate on a first come, first served basis.

I have never done Yoga before. Can I come to Sangha?
Sangha welcomes all levels of students. So that you get the most out of your experience here, we suggest that you come to one of our Gentle classes. As you get more comfortable in your practice, you can experiment in our Open Level classes to figure out which style and teachers you are drawn to. As you progress, explore higher level classes.

I have an injury. Can I come to Sangha?
Everyone and anyone is welcome at Sangha. Please talk to your Dr. about your participation in Yoga, and please come to a class that suits your level of experience. Be sure to write your injury on our sign-up sheet and also please tell your teacher about your injury.

Do you do Kids Yoga?  We run different programs for children throughout the year.  Please join our mailing list by clicking at the top of this page.

If we haven’t answered your question, please shoot us an email or give us a call. We look forward to you joining your Sangha.

Marissa is trained in vinyasa flow through Mandala Yoga’s teacher training program, and teaches throughout the East End as well as for surf-yoga clinics and retreats. She thanks her many teachers, friends, and students who have inspired her yoga practice and teaching, and especially her mother for encouraging her to first set foot in a yoga studio.

After six weeks on the couch I was ready for some rehab. And here comes the blessing part. When my treatment was up, my therapist suggested I try yoga. That may sound like just one blessing, not many, but from that one came all the many blessings of yoga.

Even before the ski accident I was in pain most days from years of running and several car accidents during a misspent youth. Yoga has not removed all the pain from life but it has given me moments of bliss. It has helped me to gain balance physically but more importantly in life. In the journey of life yoga has become my anchor.

The instructors and the community at Sangha have been great. There is a positive energy there that keeps me coming back . They are warm, friendly, and always quick to smile and laugh. See you there. Namaste.

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that meditation is truly a gift that you can give yourself, better than a fishing trip or a weekend at the spa. Meditation in its simplest form is sitting quietly within ourselves, with no expectations. Time spent sitting still and breathing. This simple act of sitting can have a profound effect on how we perceive our lives, our loved ones and, eventually, ourselves. It is a process of becoming intimate or coming to know ourselves on a very real level. It is about letting go of who we THINK we are, and accepting who and what we are right now, today.

So come immerse yourself in the private nectar of meditation. As one of my favorite teachers, Bhagavan Nityananda, used to say “The heart is the hub of all sacred places, go there and roam”. We are roaming this sacred space together each Tuesday evening at Sangha Yoga. All levels are welcome.
