Emerald Farm Yoga Weekends

Emerald Farm is located in the Catskill Mountains in Bovina, New York. Our farm is surrounded by hayfields and rolling hills enhancing expansive views of sky. We built an open air Pavilion for people to come practice yoga. The Pavilion was designed with horizontal bars which can function as support like a normal wall and as a rope wall. The pavilion is fully equipt with yoga props. In the summer and early fall Carolyn teaches classes a few times a week. We also wanted to offer weekends when students can come practice yoga, eat fresh healthy food and enjoy good company. Locals and visitors from afar are welcome to participate in the yoga weekends. It’s always nice to do just a little more yoga practice!

Yoga students visiting from afar can stay on our land.

We have limited housing in the farmhouse and in private platform Safari tents. There are also local inns and B&B close to the farm.

Our farm is 3 and 1/2 hours northwest of NYC, an hour (and some) west of Kingston. It’s high elevation farmland (above 2,000) so the weather is typically 10 degrees cooler than the Hudson River Valley and NYC.

Yoga Students from Upstate can also attend the yoga weekends.

Local yoga students can participate in the yoga weekend with the choice of joining us for yoga and meals (lunch and dinner) or just come for the yoga classes.

Work exchange on the farm can be arranged for a discounted rate — contact us to learn more.
