TRU Yoga Studio is an open and inviting studio located in the South Wedge of Rochester, NY. We pride ourselves on creating a space where new students and expert practioners alike feel welcome and inspired.
TRU Yoga believes strongly in making studio yoga classes accessible to all.
We are a small, independent yoga studio. We believe that yoga does not have to be intimidating or complicated. The Sanskrit word Yoga comes from the verbal root "Yuj" meaning to connect, join or unite. This implies joining or integrating all aspects of the individual - body with mind and mind with soul.
At TRU Yoga we honor all of the reasons that our students come to their mats- whether it be for stretching of tight muscles, to compliment a sports activity, weight loss, toning, stress release or personal clarity.
Look who's talking:
- In August, City Commissioner R. Carlos Carballada welcomed us to the South Wedge with a Ribon Cutting Ceremony.

Yoga student tips:
Arrive 5-10 minutes early for class- doors to the studio open 15 minutes before class.
Please turn off all cell phones and pagers before class begins.
Please do not wear any shoes into the practice space- we have benches and shoe racks where you may keep your belongings during your practice.
If you are late please enter quietly and courteously, and don't forget to sign in.
Finally... relax and enjoy your class.
Who can practice Yoga?
Everyone and anyone can practice yoga. Whether you can stand on your head or barely bend over towards your toes, we PROMISE that you can practice yoga. You need not come with strength, flexibility, experience or spirituality.
What to expect?
Yoga classes resemble in appearance what you might visualize any exercise class to look like (though you will soon discover that it is quite a different practice). In other words, there are multiple students of varying degrees of experience in a room with a teacher who will guide the group as a whole with instructions leading each into his/her own, personal practices. This means that each posture, movement, exercise, and practice is what the individual makes it.
What to bring?
Bring a yoga mat to class. If you do not have one you may purchase or rent one at TRU Yoga for your practice. Some people also like to bring a towel and water to class. Dress for class comfortably in clothes that you can move in during your practice. Finally, come with an open mind.
