Zintis' house, studio and theYoga Barn are located at 259 Schwartz Road, Callicoon, NY, 12723 in an area known as the Beechwoods, between Callicoon and Jeffersonville, NY in western Sullivan County, about 5 miles east of the Delaware River (separating New York and Pennsylvania.)

The Sullivan County Catskills is one of the most beautiful rural areas within a few hours of New York City. While some non-local clients drive up just for a session, many others incorporate session and possible a yoga class with Zintis into a relaxing weekend in the country. There are a number of bed and breakfasts with a few miles of Zintis' house and the Yoga Barn. A complete list of Sullivan County B&B's is available at http://www.bba-sc.org/. The closest BB's are Griffin House and Sunrise in Jeffersonville, La Serayna in North Branch and Oz in Shandelee (Livingston Manor.)

When You Arrive

If you arrive a few minutes before your scheduled time, there may be a session in progress. If the weather is nice, please wait on the front porch of the house or feel free to wander through the gardens.

During cooler weather, please come inside and wait in the living room to your left. Zintis will be with you shortly.

Public Transportation.

Unfortunately, there is no public transportation in western Sullivan County. Shortline bus runs from Port Authority to Monticello, about 25 miles away — and as yet there are no rental car outfits there. So the only way to get here is by car.

By Air.

Callicoon is about equadistant from 3 airports — Newburgh, NY, Binghamton, NY and Scranton, PA. All 3 airports have commuter connections to major hubs. If flying in, allow about 1 1/2 - 2 hours from any of the 3 airports to Callicoon.

Scheduling a Session.

Zintis schedules a maximum of 4 sessions per day. Weekend sessions (Saturday and Sunday) are often booked a week or more in advance. Weekday sessions are often available on short notice, and sometimes there are cancellations on short notice for weekend appointments.

To schedule an individual session, you can call Zintis at 845-887-6891 or send an email to zintis@catskillspirit.com. When sending an email, please indicate what type of session you are requesting (Energy Session, Intuitive Massage or Private Yoga Class). If youa re requesting Intuitive Massage, please specify whether you prefer a 60 minute or 90 minute session.

Directions

From New York City. Take the New York Thruway north to the Harrison exit (Route 17). Take Route 17 West through Middletown to Monticello. In Monticello, take the Monticello / Raceway Exit, Route 17B WEST. Continue on Route 17B almost all the way to Callicoon. Note that 17B will make a couple of turns — it turns right at the blinking yellow light in Fosterdale, then in about 1/2 mile it veers to the left. Then 17B will come to a "T", with 17B going left towards Callicoon. STAY ON 17B! After the "T", in about 3 miles, just past the Kountry Korner gas station, there will be a sign "Hortonville" with a road veering to your right just before Buddenhagen Ford. Take that road into Hortonville. You'll come to the Little Angels School, which is at the corner of Beechwoods Road. Make a right onto Beechwoods Road and follow it up the hill. You'll be heading up into farmland. The second road you come to on your left is Schwartz Road. Make a left onto Schwartz Road. Zintis' house and the Yoga Barn are up about a mile on your left at 259 Schwartz Road. There is a parking area across from the house.
