Main Street Yoga Main Street Yoga provides mindfulness based Hatha Yoga and meditation classes led by Rita Wood Anderson held at the Mexico Public Library since 2004.

Hi I'm Rita Anderson, Certified Kriplau Yoga Instructor. I started practicing yoga in the 1990's. In 2001 I attended a week long Rest & Renewal Retreat at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Massachusetts. Doing yoga every morning and night while at the center, gave the experience of feeling so much better in my body. It was amazing! It was then that I fell deeper in love with this ancient healing practice. I knew I had to bring yoga to my hometown and share with the people here. In September of 2004 after receiving my 200 hour certification in March of that year, I began to teach classes here in Mexico. Years flew by giving me experience teaching beginner to intermediate yoga classes in CNY, but primarily here in Mexico. I am also a Licensed HeartMath Provider in which I often incorporate heart based practices into my yoga teaching. I am available to work one on one teaching stress reduction methods by using HeartMath techniques. For those wanting to learn to meditate, meditation has also been a big part of my life, as I've been a meditator for over 40 years, practicing various forms. You will find mindfulness instruction is woven throughout my classes. When not teaching yoga or practicing, I drive school bus for the Mexico Central Schools. A favorite hobby is dancing, of all kinds, and I go regularly to ballroom, including salsa and contra. Much of my time is the continuation of studying about mind/body science and health, attending various yoga trainings and meditation and spiritual retreats. I am also the mother of 3 wonderful adult children, who are all creating happy lives in various parts of the world. The intention of my work is to help people develop stronger, healthier, more flexible bodies, while gaining a deeper sense of well being. May you be happy, peaceful and free of suffering. Jai Bhagwan. HATHA YOGA SCHEDULE

Our last 2 classes here with the Friday morning gals and the Monday night tribe. Many of my past yogis came to help me celebrate my very last class. What a lovely time! So grateful for all the love! Thank you to everyone who has taken classes from me over these 23 years! Much love, kindness to all and Jai Bhagwan 🙏❤

The deeper pain in buried within our body, the longer the healing takes. Be kind, right here, right now to all you feel. It takes a while for us to be able to hold certain traumatic intensities and for the nervous system to regulate itself. ❤🙏

I have been the owner/teacher at ​Main Street Yoga, leading yoga classes in Mexico and also the surrounding areas for 22 years, my time here is coming to a close. My partner, Harry and I have bought a house in Syracuse and will be leaving Mexico sometime mid-October. Therefore I will no longer be teaching yoga after September.
I am beyond grateful to have shared the practice of yoga with so many folks. To have met so many wonderful people, and to have helped them to feel better in their bodies. It's really one of the best most heartfelt things I have ever done. And I want to give a great big thank you to the Mexico Public Library!! If it wasn't for their support, I couldn't have done it as they provided the space for me to hold my classes.
Also, many, many thanks to the Mexico community for the choosing me as your teacher all these very many years.
I love Mexico and always will. Yours, Rita (Wood) Anderson
