Since 2001, our classes, workshops, retreats, and trainings have served to raise the vibration of the body, mind, family, home, and workplace. Now an online source for everyone!
Deep in the heart of NYC, the Giving Tree Yoga Studio (now under new ownership and called 'The Yoga Studio Astoria') serves as a holistic sanctuary in the most culturally diverse neighborhood in the world. The studio provides classes, workshops, teacher trainings, astrological services, women's circle, and most importantly, a like-minded social community. The studio cultivates overall wellbeing on a foundation of inclusivity with a family-like sense of belonging.
NEW TO NYC? Many residents of NYC chose to leave the communities of their childhood, leave their country, leave their families, step out of the box, & move to a city of 8 million to pursue their passions, their calling, & their dream. This uprooting can feel very lonely and it is incredibly important to have a supportive, loving, inclusive community as a chosen 'family' to nurture you and provide a home away from home. The Giving Tree (now The Yoga Studio Astoria) has become that 'family' to so many and provides endless opportunities for personal development, community building, and joyful connections with others.
About their teacher training...Registered with the Yoga Alliance, this 200-hour certification is designed to cultivate teachers who are able to express their unique spirit, strengths, and passions through yoga. Participants complete with a toolbox full of inspiration and practical approaches to creating classes that inspire and truly make a difference for others. Also offered are four YA continuing education trainings to increase the expertise and marketability of yoga teachers and wellness practitioners. Three of the four 30-hour training courses certify students in Anne-Margaret’s three signature styles: Chakra Yoga™, AromaYIN™, and Total Training™. Her fourth 30-hour training, ‘Alignment and Assisting’, focuses on the too-often neglected aspects of teaching yoga: accurate verbal alignment cueing and precise hands-on assisting.

About The Giving Tree Yoga Studio: This NYC based yoga studio was started in January of 2001 by Anne-Margaret Redding with 5 students, renting space from a dance studio. In 2009, Anne-Margaret and her husband, Anthony, expanded into their own dedicated brick and mortar studio at 22-56 31st Street in Astoria, NYC. In 2019, the overseeing of this community was adopted by new owners and remains in its original location. You will find Anne-Margaret's 3 original class styles (Chakra Yoga, AromaYIN, and Total Training) on the schedule.
