Shakti Yoga, 133 Grant St., has made the move to
online sessions like many other businesses during the coronavirus
pandemic.
Owner Michelle Gigante made the
transition to online sessions and many of her students have also joined her.
“Many have taken advantage of
virtual classes, so many,” Gigante said.
“The up side is reconnecting with Shakti students that live abroad or
outside of Buffalo. Many West Coast students are now able to join in my
offerings.”
Although online sessions aren’t the
preferred option, Gigante and her students knew it was the only one they had.
“Shakti students typically would not
go for virtual offering due to the energetic connection that occurs in the
room, but they know this is all we have, so they take it openly Gigante
said. “It is always about embracing the now
even if we don’t prefer it.”
With not much difference to her classes, the
only major issue is not being in the same room.
“The only significant difference is that
everyone is not physically together in the same space. I miss the sound of us
and the feel of us,” Gigante said. “To be able to roam the room making contact
with beings or hearing the collective room is a great joy. But everything is
temporary.”
Shakti sessions are available at 12:45 p.m., Mondays
through Saturdays. For more information is
