The Yoga House Announces a Third Location in Dutchess County

Ulster County-based yoga studio The Yoga House announces plans to open a third location in Dutchess County in the spring of 2025.

The Yoga House isn’t just a studio for exercising, but one that prides itself on being a “home for every body.” The Kingston-based business expanded its offerings to Highland with a second location on Main Street last September, and it’s now proud to announce the opening of a third location in Dutchess County’s town of Poughkeepsie coming in the spring of 2025. With a variety of classes that range from gentle to active, The Yoga House is home to people of all different ages, backgrounds, and experiences as the team behind it believes that yoga should be accessible and available to everybody.

Owners Joyce San Pedro and Amy Reed are excited to see their BIPOC/LGBTQIA+ business expand. They teach classes from the heart and with a strong emphasis on practical and philosophical principles, alignment and biomechanics, and with a respect and acknowledgement of the deep roots of yoga from across the globe. The owners agree that “yoga at its core is about community and connection, and there’s no place where that is more tangible than right here in the Hudson Valley. Our motto is to offer safe and inclusive classes for every body. We are grateful to be able to offer this now to a wider audience.”

Creating The Yoga House

Founded over a decade ago, The Yoga House was originally owned by Leigha Butler and Jacqueline Nash. Under this previous ownership, both San Pedro and Reed taught classes until the pandemic hit, which is when they were asked to take over the thoughtfully created studio. On a leap of faith, a lot of hope, excitement, and trepidation, San Pedro and Reed said yes, and the business has been thriving ever since.

Originally from Queens, San Pedro is now a Highland resident, while Reed, who is originally from New York, currently resides in Kingston. Both owners are longtime practitioners of yoga who have taught at various studios and locations around the Hudson Valley and experienced firsthand the benefits of the practice. Whether as a means to take a break from life, sleep better, be less reactive, or heal from emotional and physical traumas, yoga has improved their quality of living in countless ways.

The New Poughkeepsie Studio

“Joyce and I first met in Poughkeepsie, so it’s serendipitous to return to our roots,” says Reed. “We’ve built such a strong community in Ulster County; people often tell us that coming to The Yoga House feels like coming home. We’re both ready to thoughtfully cultivate a similar ‘family’ in Dutchess County.”

The new Poughkeepsie sanctuary, which was designed by architect Jay Diesing and developed by Cameron Group, LLC, is a 1,400-square-foot space that features a welcoming interior with an intentionally constructed studio that includes commuter-friendly bathrooms with showers.

“Amy’s and Joyce’s dedication and incredible business model, combined with the regional draw of this location, will surely make The Yoga House’s third studio a resounding success,” says Kevin Langan, leasing and development partner at Cameron Group, LLC.

In addition to the full schedule of classes of various yoga disciplines that is characteristic of the brand’s other two studios, the Poughkeepsie location will also offer strength-building and conditioning — including Pilates, Barre, and TRX — to further demonstrate San Pedro and Reed’s commitment to tailoring fitness experiences for each person who comes to The Yoga House.

“When we say yoga for every body, we mean it,” says San Pedro. “Our classes are not one-size-fits-all because we believe in encouraging each individual to find the practice that best suits them, at any particular moment or state of their yoga journey.”

The Yoga House is located at 1 Main Street in Highland and at 785 Broadway in Kingston, and will soon be located at South Crossing Road on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie.
