Upcoming Events
Skillshare & Donation Drive
We are SO excited to host this event for Rochester Mutual Aid Network, Rochester Food Not Bombs & Rochester Grants Pass Resistance.
This event is not a solution to our city's housing crisis, but it IS a compassionate response to a very serious community need. It goes without saying that winter is the most dangerous time for our unhoused neighbors - the blankets we create during this event will reduce suffering and help keep people warm. That is harm reduction in action.
We'll be collecting throw-sized blankets at Tru in the run-up to the actual event on 1/11 - please consider picking up a blanket to donate while you're out doing your holiday shopping! We can also use fleece fabric, so if you have bolts lying around your craft room, bring them down.
Candlelight Restorative Series
Join Kass once a month on Saturday evenings until the end of 2024 for 90 minutes of intentional, radical rest.
You can expect your practice to be safe, warm, quiet and dimly lit. Through a series of restorative poses, you'll strengthen your connection to your parasympathetic nervous system and rest deeply.
These sessions are 90 minutes long, with at least 20 minutes reserved for savasana. Build in some time for yourself as we approach and move through the winter season.
6pm-7:30pm on 12/21 // $30

Beginner’s Series
Ready to start your yoga journey? Join our 4-week Beginner’s Series and build a strong foundation in a supportive, welcoming space!
You'll learn the basics of yoga asana, breath awareness, yoga history and more. This series lays the groundwork for you to feel confident in any of Tru's weekly classes!
Pricing is on a sliding scale, meaning you pay what works for you within a set range. This helps make yoga accessible to more people and helps support our thriving, inclusive community.
This six-session series includes four engaging in-person sessions and two insightful pre-recorded lessons. About a week before our first in-person session, you'll receive a recording on Yoga History to set the stage. After we wrap up our in-person journey, you’ll get your second recording—designed to weave everything you've learned into a powerful at-home practice to carry you forward.
Let’s move, breathe, and learn together—no experience needed. Space is limited to 20 students so reserve your spot today!

Yoga for Dudes
Men come to yoga with unique challenges, and this workshop is specifically designed to approach them safely. Led by Jake, classes will focus on alignment, movement, biomechanics, form, safety and alleviating pain. This workshop will be offered for brand-new beginners and those who want to deepen their yoga knowledge. Jake will provide accessible yet challenging variations, modifications and tools for men who are inflexible, inexperienced and injury-prone.
Yoga for Dudes is an inclusive space open to anyone who identifies as a man, a dude, or exploring their masculinity. We celebrate diverse gender identities, and there are no strict requirements—if you feel this class is for you, it is. All bodies, all experiences, and all identities are welcome.
Jake Panasevich has been teaching his signature “Yoga for Dudes” workshop for over 10 years, and has experience teaching pro-athletes on the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies and Union. He is also a health journalist for U.S. News & World Report.
Interested in learning more? Jake will be here on 12/21 at 3pm teaching a free intro session!

Philosophy & Asana Intensive
Welcome to the Rochester Yoga event of the year. The Tru Yoga community invites you to join Christina Sell and Douglas Brooks for an unparalleled weekend of philosophy and asana.
Dr. Douglas Brooks is a scholar of Hinduism, south Asian languages and the comparative study of religions. He lived in India with his teacher, Dr. Gopala Aiyar Sundaramoorthy, for many years studying and practicing Srividya, Auspicious Wisdom and the modern traditions of goddess-centered Tantra. Currently Professor of Religion at the University of Rochester, he holds both Masters and his doctoral degrees from Harvard University.
Christina Sell has been practicing asana since 1991 and teaching since 1998. Known for her passion, clarity and creativity, Christina’s teaching style is a dynamic and challenging blend of inspiration, humor and hard work. Christina believes that yoga practice can help anyone access their inner wisdom and authentic spirituality, and clarify their highest personal expression.
Christina has a BA in Counseling and Education and an MA in Integrative Education and Curriculum Design. She resides in Bellingham, WA with her husband, two very affectionate cats and the world’s best dog, Locket. She enjoys practicing yoga, writing, reading, cooking, hiking, mountain biking and snowboarding.
As leaders in their respective fields, expect to be under the tutelage of true teachers. Both Douglas and Christina rely on the foundation of antiquity and the reality of modernity in their teaching. They continue to forge paths, create maps and share them zealously.
Tru Yoga could not be more delighted to offer this prestigious event. Rochester, once the epicenter for Anusara Yoga, again has the opportunity to offer absurdly high quality Yogic experiences with a focus on community and self discovery.
