Abhyasa Yoga Center offers personal, breath-centered, therapeutic yoga classes and yoga teacher training in Brooklyn, NY. Founded in 2007 by NY yoga teacher and writer J. Brown, AYC has a unique approach that adapts to individual needs, including chronic or acute conditions (see essay "What Kind of Yoga Do You Teach?".) Known for his pragmatic teaching style, J. Brown's essays has been featured in Yoga Therapy in Practice, Yoga Therapy Today and the International Journal of Yoga Therapy. The AYC Yoga Teacher Training is a charter member of the IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists) Council of Schools Initiative. The mission of Abhyasa Yoga Center is to provide instruction, practice, and products that encourage individual and communal health. We believe that yoga is an appropriate vehicle for learning how to ease difficulties, reduce pain, and encourage appreciation in life.
