Wellsville’s Kristen Buchholz has carved out a very special spot overlooking the Genesee River Valley but still convienently located in the Village of Wellsville. The studio is beautiful and peaceful as you can see:
Buchholz’ Heron Hill Yoga has a weekly schedule that allows anyone to start with the basics and work into more advanced levels of yoga. Local mystic Anne Wiley leads a weekly mediation that provides connection and reflection with a “pay what you can” approach. Here is the weekly schedule and more about the founding yogi:
Beginners Mind Yoga Class
Designed for beginners, this class covers basic yogic breathing, warm-up and poses that help you tune into your body, deepen your self-awareness, and learn how to adjust in a pose so it’s more comfortable. Using the concept of “Beginner’s Mind,” we notice with curiosity rather than judgment in this introduction to Yoga.
Tuesdays | 10:00-11:15 AM
Cost: $15 per session | $12 Seniors (60+) and Veterans

Group Meditation
Led by Anna Wiley, this is a traditional, silent, seated meditation. Make yourself comfortable in a chair or on cushions on the floor to practice meditation together in a supportive circle of community members. If you’re new to meditation, Anna gladly offers guided meditation and shorter sits with discussion and readings afterward.
Wednesdays | 6:00-7:15 PM
Cost: donation (pay what you can)
Community/All-level Yoga Class
Everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of skill level or experience. If you can get up from sitting on the floor with ease, you can participate in this class and may be challenged by some poses. Modifications and suggestions are always included, so everyone feels comfortable practicing what works best for them. In this class, we intend to connect with ourselves and others, practice breathwork and poses that help us heal, grow and thrive.
Thursdays | 6:30-7:45 PM
Cost: $15 per session | $12 Seniors (60+) and Veterans
Sun-Salute Saturdays
This is a yoga workout you can experience at your own pace. Designed to increase your strength, energy and heat, get ready to work, breathe deeply and relax completely by the end. Giving thanks to the Sun for the life it brings us helps us grow stronger and brighter, just like the sun.
Saturdays | 10:00-11:15 AM
Cost: $15 per session | $12 Seniors (60+) and Veterans
