Saturday Morning Yoga at Hotel Lilien in Tannersville, NY

Written By Gabriella DiGiovanni

If you haven't found your way to Hotel Lilien yet, it's one of those places that feels like out of a storybook. An 1890s Victorian mansion and estate in Tannersville, transformed into an 18-room boutique hotel. You can gather around a wood burning stove, the unofficial living room of Tannersville.

It's been named one of the best upstate New York hotels to visit in 2026, and anyone who's spent a Saturday morning there knows exactly why.

I teach yoga there most Saturday mornings at 9:30 AM, and it might be my favorite class of the week.

The class

We practice in the lodge, with the mountains right outside the windows. It's a one-hour session complete. Expect breathwork, movement, and a proper savasana. The kind of class that sets the tone for the whole day.

It's free for hotel guests, and open to drop-ins as well. Just show up at 9:30, no reservation needed.

The perfect Catskills Saturday

If you want to make a full day of it, here's exactly how I'd do it:

9:30 AM — Yoga at Hotel Lilien. The perfect way to start the day

After class — Sticky bun at The Fellow. The Fellow in Hunter is one of those spots that earns its reputation. Get the sticky bun.

Midday — Hike to Kaaterskill Falls. One of the most beautiful hikes in the Catskills, and it's right there. The falls are stunning and the trail is accessible enough that you don't need to be a seasoned hiker to feel the payoff.

Evening — Dinner at Deer Mountain Inn or Matilda. Two completely different vibes, both excellent. Deer Mountain Inn for something a little more special and candlelit; Matilda if you want something warmer and more casual. Either way, you'll end the day full and happy.

If you're visiting the Catskills and want to add yoga to your weekend, come find me Saturday morning at Hotel Lilien. I'd love to practice with you.
