Start your day off right tomorrow! It's going to be a beautiful day for a fun run with our friends over at Wyoming Valley Striders followed by an amazing yoga class with one of our most beloved teachers - Terry Tokach!

Unfortunately Joe is unable to teach tomorrow so we are very excited to welcome back Terry who has been one of our "OG" yoga teachers here at RYP!

If you haven't taken a class yet with Terry, you are in for a treat!! Terry has been studying, teaching, loving, & learning through yoga for about 20 years. She shares, "The wisdom of yoga continues to guide me in life’s work of excavating the deep, truthful, complex layers of one’s own heart."

Terry is a ray of pure light and love which generously pours out of her in everything she does.

Details for tomorrow:

8:30 am - Meet at Millenium Circle on River St for quick stretch
8:45 am - Fun Run for 30 minutes

Two groups:

Group 1 Led by Jennifer Ciarimboli Yoga will be an easy walk/run

Group 2 Led by Jill Snowden will be roughly a 3 mile run

9:15 am - Regroup and stretch
10:00 am - Yoga with Terry

We are thrilled to welcome Ramah Hackett to Riverfront Yoga this Saturday!

I had the pleasure of first meeting Ramah years ago when our children were young ones. She's not only an extraordinary Mother, Grandmother and community leader, but an exceptional Yoga teacher. Her decades of study and practice evident and felt through her precise guidance and intuitive sequencing. You will LOVE her class - don't miss!

Please meet the always extraordinary Ramah!

How long have you been practicing yoga? How long have you been teaching?

I have been practicing yoga for 30 years and teaching for 20. My foundation began with 200 hour training with Baron Baptiste and my approach has continued to evolve through years of study, practice and teaching.

What teachers have most influenced you on your yoga journey?

I’ve been fortunate to learn from several impactful teachers, including Jenn Armstrong Solomon for her depth of knowledge in sequencing and modern movement, Tom Myers for his work in fascial alignment, and Philip and Renee Urso for their intentional use of language and the way it brings clarity and meaning to the teaching of yoga. Lastly, I’m deeply influenced by my daughter, Madeleine, whose intuitive understanding of breath and breath to the beat of music continues to inspire me.

What else do you do besides yoga?

I enjoy strength training and staying active but above all, I value time with our three grandchildren who were all born within just a few months of one another. I’m also deeply enthused and involved in opening a hot mat fitness and yoga studio in Kingston called Third Space.

What is your favorite thing about NEPA?

I enjoy the weather, the change of seasons, the rolling hills, the river and of course the anticipation of Third Space opening this fall!

We are thrilled to welcome back Chelsea!

Join us tomorrow at 10am for the last class of the 2025 season.

Chelsea Manganaro is the owner and founder of Nearme Yoga, Nearme Cafe and NEPA Yoga Festival.
Chelsea is a master in reiki, 500 hour registered yoga instructor, health and wellness coach, Shaman certified, certified chef, and children’s yoga instructor. She attended University of Scranton and received two degrees in Finance and Operations Management which lead her first career at Lockheed Martin. But, she wanted to share her passion of yoga and hospitality. So she brought her ambitious vision to the local community with the first location of Nearme Yoga & Cafe in Moosic PA in 2014. In 2015, she realized that NEPA did not have any events focused around wellness, thus the inception of NEPA Yoga Festival was created. The event brings together business owners, yoga instructors, and participants looking to create better versions of themselves. The event is for all ages & fitness levels. Event also invites vendors, and artists to share their passions.
