Yeah Yoga Month!!!
I just signed up for this and have been waiting for this one for a long time 🙂
You have to go somewhere as a first timer, so I signed up at a place that I have only heard great things about called Pure Yoga on 86th and 3rd.
It is a membership only studio so I figured it would be awesome to check it out. I normally go to Jivamukti Yoga School which is the most fantastic yoga studio on earth! But I am always willing to try new places.
There are other options that you can try out in NYC and all over the country. See it all here and sign up!

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

On May 18th, one of the three biggest influences on yoga in the West, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915 – 2009), moved on from this world at his home of Mysore in South India. Since then there has been many memorials and tributes to him. At the school where I practice, Jivamukti Yoga School, they held a fire ceremony the day after his passing followed by 12 days of continual chanting.
Eddie Stern, of Ashtanga Yoga New York, invites us all to join next weekend to remember his teacher.
“Among the great joys of the last years of his life was that he became reacquainted with his contemporaries, including Mr. Iyengar, Mr. Desikachar, A.G. Mohan, and Swami Dayananda. In the spirit of the renewed friendships of these great yoga masters, we would like to extend and invitation to you, and to every yoga school in the NYC area, to come join us on June 14th, at 6 p.m., in remembering and celebrating the very great flash of lightening that was Pattabhi Jois. In doing so, we honor the spirit of yoga which, in the scriptures, is compared to a great tree that provides shelter and shade to all who stand under it.”
Memorial service for Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Sunday, June 14th, 6-9 pm Stephen Weiss Studio 711 Greenwich St at the corner of Charles St. See more details here.
