ROCHESTER - If you're looking to get in some good exercise, expand your mind and experience the spiritual, physical and mental disciplines of ancient India, head to The Ridge on Saturday.

Upala Yoga and Wellness Arts of Rochester will be conducting its first class since the COVID-19 shutdown began in March in the courtyard next to the 110 Grill, Upala owner Heather Day said on Tuesday.

"I still don't feel comfortable having classes inside at this time, but Saturday's class in the outdoors is going to be great," Day said.

Anyone can attend the class but space is limited to about 15, she said, adding that for yoga, participants need some 8-10 feet of social distancing to practice safely.

Saturday's class will also be a fund-raiser for the Rochester Opera House, which has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, having to cancel all its shows since mid-March.

A minimum donation of $10 will be required of those who attend, with all proceeds going to ROH.

All skill levels from novice to expert are welcome, said Day, who added the session could run the gamut depending on who comes.

"We will have a big variety of practitioners, so there should be something there for everyone," she said.

Day urges anyone who decides to attend to remember to wear comfortable attire and bring plenty of water.

Those who want to attend must register by Saturday, but they should do it sooner if possible given the limitations of class size.

Day said they held some regular classes at The Ridge last summer, too, and credited Waterstone Properties with making it possible.

"The Ridge has been great for us, to let us offer our classes," she said. "They've given us that open door, and we are grateful to have the outdoor space."

For the month of July, Upala Yoga will be holding a couple of regular outdoor yoga practices per week at The Ridge including weekly Sunday morning practices with yoga teacher Melissa Wood RYT-200 that begin July 5.

To register for Saturday's class and learn more about July classes email heather@upala.org, or visit Upala Yoga and Wellness on Facebook or Upala.org.
