The Great Escape: Om Shakti Yoga Center

Here's something to do just for moms.

Your teens are at band practice at the high school. The grandparents volunteered to take the toddlers to the playground in the morning. Your grade-school kids have tennis lessons on Wednesday evenings.  Now it’s your time so take it.

Each week we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break,  make your life a little less stressful, and maybe a touch easier for an hour or two.

After 15 years of studying yoga, owner, certified instructor, Syosset resident, and mom of two young grade school children, Reena Kaushik of  decided to open a cheerful studio in her home for intimate classes specializing in Sri Sri yoga.  If you are wondering about this distinct yoga it blends many well-known styles such as Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha, and Iyengar with a focus on the mind, body, and spirit.
