The first half of this year I had the pleasure to be involved with Community Impact at Columbia University as the Event Specialist for their 17th Annual Spring Benefit Auction in April. One of the fabulous items we were auctioning off was 2 private yoga sessions with Geoffrey DeVaul of Vira Yoga in Soho. Of course I wanted them 🙂 My wonderful husband totally surprised me by winning the bid and giving me the present on my birthday the following week! (He totally played it as if he was outbid only to surprise me later on!!) Best present ever!! Last night was the first of my sessions and it was amazing!!! We were up on a private roof deck with a gorgeous view of midtown and the weather could not have been more perfect! It was a beautiful night focused on strengthening my practice and all while being outside in the glorious sun and feeling the breeze. So amazing!!!
If you are interested in visiting the studio or taking a group or private class: Vera Yoga is located at 580 Broadway (between Prince and Houston) Suite 205 NYC 212-334-9960
