Living Simplicity

 About Living Simplicity

Living Simplicity is a peaceful and quiet sanctuary located at 225 High Avenue in Nyack NY. This is also the home of Lena Madsen and Louis Rampersad, co-founders of Living Simplicity, and their two young boys.

All Yoga and Pilates classes are small and intimate with a maximum of 8-10 students. This ensures that each student’s need can be attended to, which is very important to both Louis and Lena.  In addition to regular group Yoga and Pilates classes, there are also private Yoga and Pilates sessions available.

Physical, mental and spiritual health is important for a balanced, peaceful and happy life. Physical exercise, including Pilates exercises and Yoga postures, combined with the Yoga philosophy of mindful awareness, helps both Lena and Louis to find balance in their own lives. They consider it crucial to have time for work as well as for leisure time with family and friends and also quality personal time. The name Living Simplicity reflects how they continually look for ways to simplify their own lives as individuals as well as a family.

 

What if our religion was each other
If our practice was our life
If prayer, our words
What if the temple was the Earth
If forests were our church
If holy water-the rivers, lakes and ocean
What if meditation was our relationships
If the teacher was life
If wisdom was self-knowledge
If love was the center of our being.
