I had been doing yoga for close to 25 years, and started out with very good teachers in New York City. Here in southern RI highly educated, knowledgeable and experienced teachers are not an easy find, yet there is one here: Gary and his Quonny Yoga. His classes are about deeply connecting with your body in order to free you of not just physical but also emotional and spiritual restrictions and imbalances in life. Gary is very knowledgeable about the workings of the body and has a reputation, which is well deserved, for especially helping his students in healing physical injuries. He guides you not just into the pose but throughout it with a special emphasis on breath work in order to not let your monkey mind get a hold of you and to release tension. In my case, after less than 10 sessions, a 3 year old knee injury started healing when no medical or physical therapy approach had helped before. His studio space is very comfortable and peaceful - an atmosphere created to get in touch with your deepest, purest being. I highly recommend his classes.

Yoga with Gary is such a great experience. He openly shares his vast knowledge and expertise as a yoga instructor. During the class he provides a lot of individual instruction for both beginners and the more experienced yoga students. I love that he offers pranayama and meditation. Not all yoga teachers focus so much on breathing. I think that is what makes this practice stand out. I feel that each class targets asanas that make for a complete yoga experience with the breath work.
His cues help to keep focus and enhance the pose. They also seem to target exactly what I’m needing in the moment.
The studio is In a community Grange which has a nice big room to accommodate all students very comfortably.

Quonny Yoga is an amazing yoga experience -- it's great for beginners but also terrific for seasoned, experienced yoga practitioners. The hour and a half classes allow for a total yoga workout. And the focus on deep breathing is the key to an excellent, holistic yoga practice. Beginners can pick up on the breathing patterns right away, while the experienced "up-level" yoga students continually find new ways to connect to deeper breathing. The breathing practice is so useful for reducing stress in everyday life -- and also essential to any physical exercise. Gary is an amazing yoga instructor -- super knowledgeable, clear, helpful, patient, inspiring, and fun! His regular classes are awesome, and everyone leaves feeling her or his best. Gary's private classes are well worthwhile; his individual attention is so valuable and instructive. And the two-hour yoga workshops are incredibly useful. Wendy (a wonderful yoga instructor herself) makes Quonny Yoga a warm, welcoming, relaxing, and happy place. Bottom line: try Quonny Yoga, it is simply the best! You will want to make Quonny Yoga your permanent place for yoga classes.

Several years ago, I took up a form of Hatha Yoga at an ashram. I have been practicing on and off since then. In the interim, I have taken several stateside classes and while enjoyable, not old school yoga. Quonny Yoga as created by Gary Karten is the real deal. Gary knows the human body, how its parts work, how they optimally interrelate and heal. Practicing with Gary is a journey into physcial and spiritual balance and healing. I heartily recommend it.
