About Us
The Westfield Yoga Center focuses on Hatha yoga, which is the yoga of the body. Hatha yoga uses warm-ups, physical postures, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to bring about a wide range of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits. It brings about union or integration of body, mind, and spirit.
Westfield Yoga Center owners,Tom Swochak and Sally Barber had been married for 15 years in 1993 when they enrolled in Westfield Yoga Center’s inaugural class. Their intention “to do yoga together” was more than fulfilled: four years later they assumed ownership of the center! Tom’s business background in management and accounting and Sally’s experience in clinical rehabilitation and supervision create an ideal combination for managing a yoga center. Tom enjoys combining student and teacher support with the business tasks essential for maintaining a viable enterprise. Sally loves teaching yoga and balances classes with a variety of administrative and environmental tasks. Both are involved in program development and community outreach.
Westfield Yoga Center seeks to maximize individual health and community well being through the medium of yoga. The WYC has served this mission for over 20 years.

This Core Class focuses on essential movements and stretches to improve your core function.

You’ll experience a long rest at the end of the class to create a beautiful union of the mind, body and spirit.

What is Tai Chi?

The theme of this class is to bring slow rhythmic movements in harmony with the breath to promote deep relaxation. We will explore releasing, also known as sung, through soft, smooth, circular, spiral and rhythmic movements. Sung is a principle in Tai Chi that can be experienced without learning the complexities of a Tai Chi form. We will explore how these ideas can be integrated into daily life and, if desired, in learning a Tai Chi Form.
