Last night I treated myself to a drop-in class at the Iyengar studio nearby. I’ve been feeling a little wonky and uneven in my poses lately, and haven’t been able to figure out why. Time for the Lion’s Roar. (Kung Fu Hustle style! Watch 9:02 on. Or the whole hilarious thing.) Iyengar yoga is famously [...]

Finally, the return of my shoulder pain overrode my normal vinyasa class, considered a [...]

There are a few new studios opening here in the city, so I thought I’d send them some love: The Fierce Club is a Core Strength Vinyasa studio in Nolita. Classes promise to give you all the benefits of a 90-minute session in 60 minutes. First class is free! Bikram Yoga Bronx is bringing a [...]

Their sequence must of course form a safe outline for your learning, but their words, and the spaces between the words, encourage exploration and absorption at [...]

Yesterday was my third or fourth class with Ariel, one of the newer teachers at Greenhouse. He also teaches at Kula and David Barton. Such a sweet guy, but his classes are like boot camp!
